Friendship 101.

I know I may sound a bit queer for this and I don't care. But, recently i had a conversatoin with someone who told me that there's a possibility that they'd stop talking to me if dumb shit like having their own family got in the way/made them too busy.

There are a lot of people out there who take friendships for granted. There are also a lot of people out there who's take on friendship is different.

I'm here to give you my definition.

I'm 24 years old, my way of thinking has changed drastically over the past 4 years and my view on friendship is quite different.

23% of Americans can say that they have had a childhood friend that to this day is still their friend. Don't quote me on those statistics, they're made up.

Anyway, I want to be among that 23%. While, my methods of acquiring a friend may be strange to some, to me they have worked.

I value friendship only a step below family. Almost anything I would do for my family, i'd do for a friend. They're life long partners that should be taken seriously.

Right now i'm roommating with a friend i've known for over 10 years. While it's true friends come and go, there should always be a certain number of people who stay in your life for the long haul.

What would be the point in developing a long lasting friendship with someone you want it to last with if they believe there's a possibility that their own new found family will get in the way? For me it's cutting your losses and moving on.

There are a few types of friends. Most of us have "casual" friends. Friends that may come and go, and don't have much impact on your life.

Then there are people you consider to be good friends, close friends, best friends, who by no means do you have any plans on ditching. These people should no doubt feel the same way about you, or you could wind up being really hurt if something were to happen.

There should be mutual feelings among friends that you both are in it for the long haul. That you'll grow old being good friends. If there isn't that mutual agreement between one of you, they obviously need to be cut off for the sake of yours or their feelings.

Long distance or short distance, there should be no discrimination against who's a friend and who isn't.

Yes most of us, being young, either don't care, or believe that online friends have some sort of low priority, and are meaningless. This is untrue. I too have gone through my fair share of not giving a shit about people who care about me back, and to them I sincerely apologize.

But, nothing will make me busy enough to abandon people that have been there for me through good times and bad. Whether I met you online, or off, if you have the same values of friendship that I have, we'll be remaining friends until one of our dying days.

So to all my true friends out there, I want to thank you for being there for me, and I in turn will be there for you. I also hope that you value friendship as I do, because if I get the idea you don't, it's peace the fuck out, bitch.

I'm 24 years old, and have no time for people that don't know what they want, or are immature. The beginning of my life starts now, and whoever's in it with me give me a hell yea.
