Y'know, i've had friends since the day i first said hi to a person, and never have i understood the true meaning of friendship.

I think friendship is something that doesn't regard money and time. Much like an intimate relationship, if you're always counting what you've left behind such as the years spent together, then you're just doing the relationship for the years, sort of like setting a record to feel good about yourself, and not so much for the sake of your partner. Friendship should always be a natural affair: Never count the years passed, never worry about the future.

I've had some friends who tell me how much i've been a real friend to them, and after your purpose together ends, the friendship ends too, sometimes entirely. Lemme illustrate: you just knew this guy from some camp and you 2 really click well. You share personal matters with him and vice versa and you tell yourself you've found a real friend. After the camp, you continue to keep in touch with him and a week later, you start to feel the chore of contacting him and finding topics to talk about. I bet you can relate to that. That is exactly like an infatuation, just not intimate.

Friendship should be something never to be worried about. Your friend should always answer your calls with enthusiasm. Even if it means once a month. Your friend should never say or do anything that will hurt your feelings. Your friend should never use you but rather, request help from you. Your friend should never be awkward alone with you. Most importantly, your friend should always be genuine with you. You shouldn't be trying to impress your friend cuz your friend should be your friend, and not the friend of someone you're trying to be.

I guess maybe I do know the meaning of friendship afterall.

But you know what? To each his own.
