Friendships

Friendships are so funny and can be very fickle at times but for me it’s those moments that make them so much more valuable. I realize anything worth having is worth fighting for and so I take that same type of fervor into my friendships. I know now that real friends have disagreement and misunderstandings sometimes, they work through them in an effort to not repeat those mistakes again and to reinforce they cohesiveness for the relationship. There are a few things that you need to do to ensure you would have a health and rewarding friendship.

1.) First and foremost RESPECT for others. You can not have love with friendship without having a level respect for each other.
2.) Honesty. If you can not tell your friend the truths then who can you tell?
3.) Always willing to be willing to say, "hey I messed up". Recently I’d had my moment where I had to shallow my words and say I am sorry.
4.) And finally LOVE, yall there is not thing more powerful and rewarding to know you have someone that loves you and would walk bare feet on broken glass for you.

Having celebrated another year on earth I made a promise to myself to be a better friend and a better person. I know that I am work in progress and I am somewhat excited in the new charge that that is about to come. I acknowledge my faults and my perfection. I know that I am human being, mortal and will err, but I know that I am divine in nature too and I will forgive those who err against me.

SO HERE’S TO FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE

If I could cry, it would be a waterfall of mystic water. Although, my tears would be that of joy, and immense emotion of the validity that you have just expressed.

As I have grown to know, friendships can only last as long as ones are willing to work at them. They have the same prerequisites of love relationships, you have to work at it to be in it.

Aren't we glad that we have age and maturity.

I love you much MAN. BTW, Happy Birthday Again!!! Hope you enjoyed your GIFT.

As always in Parting,

I came in Peace and in Peace I leave.

I've come to appreciate the friends that I have. I know we have our moments but the key is realizing that we are works in progress & to always be there for each other through thick and thin.
