So what is friendship really all about?  When I think about the word friendship, I remember the people I care about, and  the people who care about me.  It’s that simple.  For me friendship does not require constant companionship and constant communication.  Real friends remain real friends no matter how far they may be, no matter how busy you both are.  When  you think about each other, you remember all the nice things about being real friends.   I have a lot of friends,  too many to name them all.  But real friends… that’s entirely a different thing.  My real friends are too few.  But they are genuine, they are real.  It’s nice to know that we have friends who are there for us when we need them.  It’s nice to have friends around to have some fun every now and then.  But that’s not what real friendship is just all about.  It’s all about being able to being comfortable being just yourself when you’re with them, no matter how long you haven’t been together, no matter how far from each other you may have been.   It’s about being able to open up and talk about anything that comes up in your thoughts, and enjoying every single moment of it even after the moments together have passed. 

“Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.”—George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans] (1819-1880), novelist

That, my friends, is what real friendship is all about.
