Your Real Friends

I was thinking yesterday about who my real friends are. First, a real friend would always be there for you. I'm not talking about bailing on you once or twice. For example, you and your friend are supposed to go see a movie and your friend comes to you and says, "Hey, so this guy I really like just asked me out...any chance we could reschedule movie night?" In this situation, the first friend should say, "No problem! Let me know how the date goes!" If they truly are a good friend, they should understand. What I'm talking about is really being there for you and not bailing. For example, they should never go behind your back and do things they know would hurt you. Second, a real friend would trust you. Trust is the most important thing in any relationship, in my opinion. Now, I know it can be hard to take someone's word and believe them when it seems like they don't know what they're talking about. Ever think that maybe they do have a clue, that they actually do know what they're talking about? Ever think that maybe since that person has already gone through it, they understand? Why is it so hard to just take my word for it? I'm promising you that it'll be worth your time to listen to me...
