"True friendship comes when the silence between two friends is comfortable."-Dave Tyson Gentry
"I will give anything to talk to a person who'll make me think about the things that scare me, the things that I find hard to talk about, and will help me see the world from another point of view."

"Someitmes you have to grow further apart to keep growing closer."

"Everybody hurts take comfort in your friends."
"Sometime's all you need is a smile and a friend." - Me

"Friends are those whom we are comfortable enough to....'think out loud'."
"Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
"Friends will praise you when you're right, but it takes a true friend to tell you when you're wrong."
"Best friends don't tell each other that they are best friends....they just know."
"A friend is someone who'll laugh when you laugh, smile when you smile, but hold your hand when you cry."

"Maybe some people just aren't ment to be in our lives forever, maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something; a lesson we need to learn, and that's why they are there."
"Smile when the only thing you can do is cry, laugh when it hurts the most, act happy when the only good news is the bad news, and help others through the tough times in life."
"I don't have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to hug you, I have ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart thats aching to see you smile again. "
"Without humour, life sucks. Without courage, life is hard. Without love, life is hopeless. Without friends, life is impossble."
*Somewhere between the procrastination.....and the homework..... and the incessant forwards........and the friendships..... and the calls to each other complaining about crushes...... Somewhere between the phone calls to old friends..... And the "I miss you's", the "I love you's"....... And the "What are we doing tonight's?"..... And somewhere between all of the changing and growing... Somewhere between the classes........ And the skipping classes...... And the studying for tests.......And the pretending to study for tests....... And the downright NOT studying for tests... I forgot......I forgot what high school is all about. I forgot what it meant to cry....... I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy......... And that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart ........ I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future...... I forgot that you can't control falling in love........... And that you can't make yourself fall in love........ I learned that I can love........ I learned that it's okay to mess up......... And it's okay to ask for help......... And it's okay to feel like crap..... I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day........ I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have. I learned that the greatest thing about high school isn't the parties or the drinking or the hook-ups... It's the friendships, which means taking chances........ I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about.......... I learned that letters from friends are the most important things.... And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends........ Both old and new....... Are the most important people to me in the world. AND.......without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.....So this is a thank you to all of my friends.....For always being there. And even if were not on good terms or we have lost touch.....I still care for you.....Always and forever love all you guys!*
"Friends are just well known enemies." -Kurt Cobain
"People say true friends always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know that the other hand will always be there."
"There are two things in life that one must never lose- a sense of humor and the love of a best friend."
"Your friends will know you better in the first minute they meet you, then your acquantances will know you in a thousand years."
*"Best friends hang tough. They don't come with fragile stickers, and aren't easily scared off..or ticked off. Best friends help you out whenever they can, make time for you even when they dont have any, and trust your friendship enough to say "no". Best friends are cross-your-heart-and-hope-to-die, good-times-and-bad-times, borrow-anything, tell-you-everything, trust-you-with-their-deepest-darkest-secrets, always-and-forever-friends."*
"True friends are people that can walk in opposite directions but still remain side by side."
"A friend is the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times wyhen you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put th past behind you, but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps deal with pressure from others, smiles for you even when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly they care about you."
"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."
"And in the end, all the things you need to know to get by in life, were learned from good friends." -Me
"If you get to heaven before I do, make a little hole and pull me up."
"In the end we always return to the people who were there in the beginning."
"Friends ask why you're crying...best friends just know."
"I'll be there when no one is there for you, and you think no one cares; when the whole world walks out on you and you think you're alone; when the one you care about the most could care less about you, when the one you gave your heart to threw it in your face, when the person you trusted betrays you, when the person you shared all your memories with can't even remember your birthday, when all you need is a friend, when you just need someone to catch your tears, when your heart hurts so bad you can't even breath, when you just want to crawl up and die, when you start to cry after hearing the sad song, when the rain just won't stop falling, just give me a call and I'll be there."
"While everybody else shakes my hand, you hold it." -Nick Zeigler
"Once in a long while, someone special walks into your life and really makes a difference. They take the time to show you in so many little ways that you matter. They see and hear the worst in you, but don't walk away; in fact they may care more about you. Their heart breaks with yours, their tears fall with yours, their laughter is shared with yours. Every time you see a certain gesture, hear a certain laugh or phrase, or return to a certain place, it reminds you of them. You treasure the time you have with them, and you feel thankful that someone can still touch your heart so deeply. You remember their words, their looks, their expressions; you remember how much of themselves they give; not just to you, but to all. You remember the strength that amazes you, the courage that impresses you, the grace that inspires you, and the love that touches you." -Laurie Winkleman
