Friendship.

Friendship:

Wikipedia definition of friendship: In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association

urbandictionary.com definition of friendship: Something that is much underrated in our society. Friendship is actually a form of love (here I'm not talking exclusively about erotic love). It's not a lesser form of love than erotic love, only a different form of love. In fact, the ancient Greeks had a word, "phileos", more or less equating to fraternal/brotherly love (friendship).

""True friendship is not when you go to school and hang around with someone just because you have no one else to chill with. Its not calling someone up when your bored because they are fun to talk to. Its not when you cant think of a birthday gift and end up buying your friend a wal-mart gift card. Is not when you have to talk to someone about something you don't particularly care about (like how much snow we got last year) to avoid an awkward silence.  

Friendship is when you love someone with every ounce of your being and genuinely want them to be happy even if it means sacrificing something your self to make them happy. A true friend is someone you can talk to about your feelings, someone you can tell things you could never tell your family or even your partner. They are someone who you don't have to talk to but someone you want to talk to; someone you will go out of your way to be with. Friendship is when you love someone so much you want to hold them and never let go, someone you want to rest your head on and cry, and you would let them cry on you too. Its someone you can talk to about things you disagree on and end up being closer for that disagreement. Its when you think about someone and how close you are to them and how much you love them and you smile and are happy all over. ""

Alright Yall, I've had a lot of friendships in my lifetime but nothing has been so serious in my life right now.  Friends are coming and going like "make your own ice cubes". It's ridiculous.  Heads up for everyone...friendship is not talking about your "friends" behind their backs. Friendship isn't ignoring them and only talking to them when need be. Friendship isn't thinking about what will better yourself in the long run. Friendship is a huge deal for me. Friendship to me is defined as basically family. If I get close enough to you to tell you everything that I would tell my family then you're a lucky one. I don't take you for granted and I consider you as family. I treat you as family. Coming here to Valdosta has showed me a lot about who exactly my true friends are....and the truth is none of them are here with me. I miss them but I can only blame myself for leaving. I'm trying to meet new people who I can count on but I noticed that I have everything I need. I have a FANTASTIC family who I can always count on when I act stupid and take unknown trips to Orlando. I have two beautiful sisters who I take for granted all the time but I miss them to death since I've been here. I have a wonderful boyfriend who helps me through everything I've been through, he helps me when I'm being unreasonable and slows me down when I get all upset at simple things. I can always trust that with them alone everything is fine. It also came to me that I don't need to look for friends. when they come...they come along. I would like to thank Jessica Bene, Little Erin, Kylie Bright    , Courtney Mcadams, Marisa Marquez, David Dequeljoe and many many more but those are the few I know I can count on through anything and none of them live close to me at all. SPECIAL THANKS TO : Erin, Katelyn, Chris, Mom, Dad, and Chad. :) I love you all and thank you for being my support system through this rough year on my own.
