Friendship-More Than a Word!


(Written By Liz Stellae)


Friendship.

I was talking to a friend and I realized something.
I don't usually bother to classify my friends because I feel guilty if I don't include someone in among my best friends.
I worry that someone will find out and that they may be hurt.

But as I was talking to someone and thinking about things, I realized that my best friends aren't based solely on common interests or common personality traits.

My best friends are the people in my life to whom I always have something to say.

When I email my mother, for instance, I can't just write "Hi, how are you? I am fine. Life is good." and feel like that email is done.
I have to tell her about some little thing that interested me, that sparked my thoughts.

I have to tell her about some recent event that made an impact.
I can't write impersonal one-sentence notes to her.

It feels wrong.

And I realized then that the people who are my best friends are the same people to whom I intend to say one sentence but end up talking for half an hour.
