My definition of friendship
By bigpumpkin | December 2, 2006
Whilst we are feeling melancholic about the subject, I might as well blurb out my own schpiel about it.
I think I am a GREAT friend.
I am loving, honest, sincere. I make no demands of friends. I am accepting and I don’t impart my own ideas onto anyone. I am sensitive to others believing that everyone is different. I never get jealous of my friends but instead look out for their best interests at all times. I am also not malicious. In fact, I strive to make my friends smile or laugh everyday!
My friends are those who are there when I need them. I don’t have to see them or talk to them everyday but when I need them, they are there. They care about me. Genuinely. And vice versa.
Of course, there are friends to complete your day-to-day life like friends you go shopping with, friends you have tea with, friends you gossip with, friends you gym with and etcetera. I call them ‘purpose’ friends as they are friends with a purpose. These friends may or may not eventually enter your inner circle, the ‘inner-circle’ friends whom you call when you are in jail.
Friends need to enjoy each other’s company. Friends should have no ill feelings towards each other but instead the best of intentions for each other and genuine happiness should the other be lucky enough to get ahead in any way. Friends are forgiving. And I thought friends were forever……
I was wrong.
Friends are not necessarily forever. People change. Just as the wind. And your best friend today may not be your best friend tomorrow. It may not be the fault of anyone. You just grow in different directions. Accept it. And cherish the time that you were allowed to be friends.

You sound like a good friend to have. and you’re right: people change and it’s no one’s fault. Better to just move on than to try and force friendship. Life’s too short for that nonsense.
