A TRUE FRIEND STANDS WITH YOU WHEN THE WORLD TURNS AWAY!

Have you ever sat on a bench in a busy park or within a busy mall and simply and quietly watched the people moving around you or sitting in a busy food court? I like to do this often because you can learn a lot about people, relationships, togetherness and lonliness. Most people that I have observed over the last number of years in a variety of venues have led me to draw the conclusion that it is easy to feel alone and be alone while the world around you seems to race on by! I think if we are honest with ourselves, most of us at one time or another have felt very much alone within the midst of a large crowd or social event. We do live in the midst of a world that is filled with social clicks and devisions where you are either in or you are out! The sad thing is, is that it begins in the earliest of our years. One might not dress like the others or live within the same social class as someone else or even live in the best neighbourhood or have a job that is as high profile as someone else. The real tragedy of these examples is that this list of devisions between people stretches like an endless winding road reaching into the farthest horizon. It is too amazing that there are times when a person (maybe you) can walk down a busy street or through a shopping mall filled with conversations and laughter and not see anyone you know. So you move through these life mazes alone, as if invisible as if you didn't exist! It seems as if your life really doesn't matter or have any real purpose. Then you leave and no one ever seems to are or notice. It is a real challenge to see your self worth and believe in yourself when the world around you seems to be waiting for you to fail and when you go through a tough time in your life, those whom you thought were friends no longer include you anymore in what you used to do with them. Sometimes the frustratons can grow and eat at you to the point that you almost feel like throwing in the towel and finding that isolated safe place where you can hide your head attempting to shut the world away. Have you been there before? Are you there now? Most of the people that are in our lives are mainly just aquaintances , like ships passing in the night but our true friends one can often count one one hand. A true friend is willing to stick with you in every situation of life we have to go through either good or bad. They accept you for who you are, even if they might not agree with you. Those types of friends are scarce like a fine diamond in thr ruff and when you know you have a friend like that, cherrish him or her like your very own breath. Try to do some fun things together to strengthen your friendship, share your feelings with each other if you feel you can become vunerable with that person. Trust is Key! Don't let the friendship get lost within the business of life and then you can hold your head high, moving through the sea of lifeless faces knowing that you are a priceless jewel of worth , someone worth getting to know! You are a person of great worth and potential and you can do whatever you set your hand to do because you truly do have someone who loves you just because you are you!
