What it takes to be a friend

People say that, “Oh my gosh! You are so like, my best friend!!” But what do they really mean when they say the word “friend”? Do they mean someone to tell secrets to? Some one that will tell your crush you like them? Or, some one that you can do or say anything to and never be embarrassed in front of?
A friend is someone who will always be there for you, no matter what the circumstance. They will stand the test of time through any obstacle. They are your shoulder to cry on, your release of anger, and they are some one that will listen to you. They TRY to get you out of trouble, and they love you no matter what you do. That is a friend.
When you can sit on a bus ride home from an activity that you just went to, a friend is someone that will listen to your crappy music and not make fun of you the rest of the way home about it. They will put up with your terrible singing and dancing attempts and cheer you on. They care about you rather than what you look like, and they care about you a lot more than they care about anyone else. They will never say, “Stop, you’re embarrassing me.” Or never even refer to that. They love you for everything that you are.
When you are heart broken from an asshole that never cared about you in the first place, they are there to wipe up your tears, and remind you never to date them again. But, you never take their advice and do it anyway, then you suffer the consequences. They give you the best advice, and when they give it to you, take it. They always know what is right for you, because they are the people that know you best. And they never want to see you hurt again.
It took me up till today (6-10-04/Wyandotte Lake trip) to figure out what a true friend was. I think back at all of the advice that Jennifer gave me, and regret not taking it in the first place. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and trouble. But, if I took her advice and never went back out with Alan, Alex wouldn’t have been there when I started to cry after he broke up with me the second time. Alex is now my boyfriend/best friend, and I don’t think that any guy will ever match up with him. Because he is just as much as my boyfriend as he is my girlfriend… : D
I figured out that Alex means more to me than just a boyfriend. He respects me for who I am, and not how long I’ll make-out with him or where I will let him touch me. We have been friends for a long time and we started going out on May 19th. It has been almost a month and he has only pecked me on the lips… and my last boyfriend first talked to me for 2 hours and then shoved his tongue down my throat. Me and him never really “talked” and I always tried to satisfy him, giving him almost everything I had except my virginity. I can honestly say that I feel a lot different with Alex than what I did with Alan. Alan says he didn’t use me, I say he did. Just for the simple fact that now I know what it means to have my best friend as my boyfriend…

So just give me a call when ya need me!
When you do something that most people would call embarassing, nobody ever really takes it that way. Atleast I don't. I could care less what anyone did around me. Wether it's embarassing or not. It's THEM not ME. I can't controll what people do. So you or anyone could embarass me all they want and I wouldn't care one bit at all. So keep being yourself Capt.!
