Friends

Its not always about how many friends you have, but the most important thing is to have friends who actually care about you and not just "listen to your problems" because they "need to" or just for the sake of listening. Friends is not about meeting up regularly, texting everyday. Its about the moments you spend together, clicking with one another, talking about anything and everything knowing they whey would judge you but advise you. 

And in friendship, the most important thing is trust. Trust is a bond between people that is found only when they are able to listen and understand where the other person is coming from. To me, thats the key to friendships.

Friendships can be complicated at times and full of learning experiences. Nobody comes into this world knowing everything. We all go through different experiences, we make mistakes, have successes and then make more mistakes that we can learn from. The ability to trust and listen to people in your life is the foundation of all healthy friendship. 

Occasionally, we let people in and we open the folds of our insecurities and give the, access to the darkest parts of us. We hand over the key and its terrifying. Sometimes they bump into a raw nerve saying a callous insensitive remark and they ridicule a strange notion we have, they poke at our dreams just a bit. It hurts pretty bad and we push them out and fold up fast. We remind ourselves, "This is why I don't let anyone in" and we run. 

There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who wouldn't even jump puddles for you.
