What is a Friend? I'll tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask you to put on nothing, only to be what you really are.
When you are with him, you do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you.
He understands those contradictions in your nature that cause others to misjudge you. With him you breathe freely—you can avow your little vanities and envies and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are dissolved on the white ocean of his loyalty.
He understands.—You can weep with him, laugh with him, pray with him—through and underneath it all he sees, knows and loves you.

WOW! Well I beg to differ! Its seems like people have forgotten the true meaning of Friendship and all that should or used to be a part of it. I mean really, what the hell happened to people? Have we all become so selfish that we just don't give a shit anymore? Because its not like that, not today, today you always have to be on guard on what you say or feel, No matter how genuine you are being, it does not matter. All the " he said, she said" bullshit completely washes away that Ocean Of Loyalty that he/she supposedly holds for you. Not to mention the standards society holds on us, She's not pretty enough, too fat, not the right shoes or makeup... Friendship isn't like it used to be. And we did that. It's come to the point where you really don't know who is a true friend or not. So people start playing games, and testing, and then you get pissed off about that cause no one wants to play games... But we caused this, WE did all of this, together. Its like friendship is the "New Dating", your hesitant to be yourself, unsure if they really understand you, and all that jazz... I believe if we just open up our god damn hearts and eyes, and realize what we have, that maybe that true meaning of friendship will show its way back into our lives...Or maybe--maybe I'm just dreaming...
