Friendship.

What is it and where does it come from? How do we decide who is a friend and when?

Friendships are so valuable yet cost nothing. Maybe it cost a little time or a lot of time. It's so amazing that we and simply decide that after a while that we are friends. Some friendships are immediate I suppose, and then once they are time tested and continue to last that's when you realize you've invested a lot of time into that relationship. Over the years I've met, known, and become friends with lots of folks. Some of those relationships are stronger than ever and I can't see anything but great things happening in them. Others are stale or aren't going anywhere. That's ok too. Yet others still, become old and the people that you used to spend lots of time with move away or have changes in their lives that cause the friendships to dwindle or just die out. All that is ok. The relationships that matter to you, you will work on. Maybe you work on it by checking on that person regularly or giving them that thing that you know they like. Maybe you call them once a week or a month to do something together such as catching up on what's going on in each others lives. I have some friends that I don't talk to for weeks or months or even longer and as soon as we take again it's like we never missed a beat. It doesn't matter as long as you both are happy and appreciate the other person. Relationships should be healthy and bring your up in life. The people you surround yourself with are who you are or who you will become in time.  I'm in love with my best friend, I also have a lot of friend that I love and care deeply for yet others I rarely talk to but still know that they are in my life. I've had to let some toxic friends go (that's really tough because I hate to disappoint people) forever. I'm sorry about that but I had to do it for me. You choose who is in your life and who is a friend. No matter who you choose make sure they are good for you and you are good for them. Now go out there and make some people happy!! - Kris
