Friendship

The other day, I celebrated my birthday with my closest girlfriends that live here in the DC area. We worked together at the same elementary school. Outside of my friendships that I developed in college, I really connected with these women. Through them I really learned about how to be a true sincere friend.

Through them Ive learned that a true friend is someone

-who is there for you and support you when you are going through hard times.

-accepts you for who you are and encourages you to be a better person, even thou sometimes you may not want to hear it and secretly you know they are right.

-does not get upset when good things happen to you, just because its not to them at that time.

-you may not see for days, weeks, months or even years but when you talk to them it seems like you just spoke yesterday.

There are no motives behind a true friendship, they will not only just listen or agree with you but tell you when you are wrong and give you open and honest advice.

I care for them dearly, when I get with them. I realize that I should be doing more with my life. They are what and where I should be in life.

I thank you.
