Treasures Obliviously Unseen

With all the new technology in the world, it's hard to see the things that we have and keep us going without even reazling we have it. Such as friends, the will do to something,the head on our shoulders, the friends we have, the peronallity we have to have those people love and respect us instead of being nice to our face and snitchy behind our backs.

During this time of getting ready to move, I think I've noticed this more and more and been more grateful for those sorts of things. Most people when they hear they're going to move, start to distance themselves from their friends hoping to make the separation easier. I've found I want to cling more tightly to my friends so they think the best of me before I leave. As long as yo leave a good impression behind, why should the bond between you and your friends ever diminish? Yes, maybe you won't talk to them as much, or you might run into them as many times, but so long as you love them, and they love you, that bond will always be there.

So what if some people move on from that friendship and that bond? Life is changing constantly, and for some people that means to move on with that. It doesn't mean they're bad friends, as hutful and betrayed as you might feel. It means you guys were good when you were friends, but now you've both moved on with good memories to look back on.

The test of friendship is what you're friends will say and do when you need thier help. If you call on someone that hold you to ranks among their heart, they will drop what they are dong t listen to you, and help you. Even if they can't drop what they're doing, they will give you a hopeful word to keep you up before coming to talk to you again. Even if the person you call on is the last person you'd think to talk to, that's when ou find out who you're friends are.

The people you know are not your friends, are the people who may drop what they're doing to talk to you, but the conversation ends up talking about not what you need to have as a person in crisis, a little lifting up or advice, but as to what their problems are and how they need something. This is when you know who your friends are.

To me at least, friends are people with whom you have a mutualistc relationship with. You're there for them, they're there for you. This may be with someone who is so opposite from you that you can't even understand why you're friends, but you can't help but love them anyways. The bond that true friendship should have, in my book, should be like family. Strong and endearing. Have as many fights as you want that can hurt you're feelings to the deepest core, have them apologize to the bottom of their hearts, and still be able to laugh about it.

There are different relationships of friendship. The kind where you can spend every minute of the day with them and not get tired of them. This is the most envied relationship of all. Why can't you have a friendship like that? Don't be envious of this. This is when people need each other that want to be with them. It's nota desparate thing, it's just who they are.

Another is very spaztic. They will talk, then not talk, and talk and not tak, but when it comes down to it, they will be there in a moment's notice. This is friendship that may not last the longest, but maybe the most memorable. People in these friendships wish they could have the one where they're together every minute. The fact of the matter is, people in these friendships can't handle being together every minute of the day together. Which is perfectly fine. Sometmes you don't need to be together to have that bond. Just knowing that you have a good friend is comforting enough.

The long distance friendships are one of the more solid o frienships. This may not mean that you're the next state over, whereas maybe just the next cityor town over. Friends here may have met through some sort of meetin or competition, or maybe even just running into each other at the store. The world would like to think that these frienships never last, that you need to be with someone constantly for a frienship to ever last. Boy are they wrong. My best friends have, or do, live at least a half an hour away. My childhood best friend lives on he other side of the state, and we still do talk. These frienships are the STRONGEST. Friends here almost have a telepathic way of knowing each other. They may not see each other everyday, or talk all the time, but they're in the heart and minds of each other constantly, at least my friends are in mine. They can go a year or two or three or ive without seeing each other, and when they do, it's as if nothing's changed. They still laugh and talk. These friends don't have fights. They have disagreements that they work out. Long distance relationships require more mature and level headed people. They realize that everyone does things for a reason, and they try to understand that where the disagreement comes in. They talk and it's almost like a research essay then changed into a persuassive essay. There're two sides and facts and no argument, but then there is one side and support and facts and rebutles. There is no drama and backstabbing, just irritation, but then the calm of questions and opening up and releasing of that stubborn attitude of "my way or the highway." This is why these friendships are the strongest. If it took these friends a thousand years, they would do anything for each other.

Frienships are probably the most important thing to have in your life. Friends keep us going whether they're related or not. They support us in whatever we do and keep to each other or their memories. I've had all three of these kinds of frienships, and each one of these friens have been very good friend and/or still are. During this time of uncertainty and change where things will get hard and intimidating and oppressing, friends will be there for me, and I will find out who my friends are and hold dearly to them. I hope we all have friends like these that we can count on.
