These days, people find it difficult to trust, it's really not easy to know who your friends are. People are just too busy to nurture friendships and some just pretend to be too busy. Everyone seems to be wary of one another. And I think this is just how it is.Anyway, each friend that I have has a distinct worth to me. I don't easily make friends but I do have them. I love and cherish in my heart the memories of being with them. Though even in some instances, I feel isolated with them, this still does not bother me at all. I continue to consider them my friends. I'm open to the fact, that everyone has their own character, me included. And I know that a lot of self control and proper respect are needed to coexist with others... in this way we get to learn more about dealing with each other in a civilized way. I'm just no different from them. I mean, I am human too. So, we are all the same in some ways.Sometimes, I really wish that I could be with all of my friends all the time. But, this is impossible really because the turn of events in our lives often gets in the way.I am a person who doesn't care so much about who you are or what you are, where you belong or how you used to be... maybe this is the real me. And as time goes by, some of my opinions of friends must undergo some changes because of the continually reshaping environment.But honestly I will tell you, I always realize my friends' significance the most, once they are no longer by my side. I really miss everyone of them...and this does not exclude my childhood friends.For this reason, I love my friends!Written by: -Lynne-First Posted: 09/29/2009
Thanks for your comment Nadira. Understanding a friend is a two way street, it cannot be one sided. I have come to realize that some people come as friend if only they need you. In my life, I realized that even if I have treasured my friends, there would come a time, I'd find myself being deceived. Even if I have risk and sacrificed my life to keep the friendship, at times, I 'd find myself into pieces. I have realized that if I give a hand to help them they would come and get another leaving nothing for me in the end, wanting more than what I could afford to share them. I have been seeing myself into pieces and putting it back together again and again because I am hopeful that there are really good people out there. And, in so doing I have seen people too who are true and not. I just did what I have to do... not to forget to leave a space for myself. (What would be left for me if I give my all?)
Thanks for the very nice comment. I hope you'll enjoy the path you will take.

In today s fast setting world, friends should be treasured, and understood ,as no matter what we are ,end of the day we need people who loves and understand and stand by us.
Enjoyed reading your blog ,a topic very much close to my soul.
Dear Nebia,
Your comment for me here is very touching. Thank you very much for counting me as a friend. I really wish we could be friends. I felt this wish while reading your remark here for me. Maybe because our minds meet in some ways.
Nebia, I cannot disagree to what your friend said because the chances of meeting a true friend online is really very slim. We cannot deny, the truth that we don't know everything about the person we correspond with and we cannot ignore the fact that some people are expert in hiding their true identities. But, at least there is something we could do to show others that we are here for good reasons.
For now, I could say we are online friends. I am happy enough for that.
Thank you for the wonderful comment you shared with me.
Take care.
Good day!

Passing by your page, the title of your blog attracted me and while reading I was taken to the pure world of friendship with no hypocrisy, selfishness or lies.
As I can judge myself of being truthfull and faithful in life in general and friendship in particular, I think I was always correct with my friends and I loved them from the deep of my heart as if they were a part of me.
I've recently lost one of my best friends, who decided that it would be better to stop being friends. I respected his choice but inside of me I was very sad to see how cheap our friendship means to him and how simple and easy people can decide one day you are a friend and the other day you are not.
I am not to force anyone to be my friend nor try to change him or her but I am not a tool or a toy to be used then thrown when they like.
My best friend told me that I was too sensitive and I am, that's why I have few friends in ec because inside of me I am afraid to lose them. She added a hurting reality for me to accept; internet is an illusion..... Thank you for existing dear Lynne and I am sure many others still believe in friendship. My pleasure we are friends.
Dear Lynne,
Your friendship story is so touching.For me the true friend is someone who accepts me just the way I'm and as you said "I don't care who they are or how they used to be".If they were my friends and still them then I'll always be by their side and I'll do my best for them .True friends sometimes are more than relatives,because we can't choose our relatives,but we can choose our friends.So we have what we have.
BTW:Your stories are always touching and meaningful.
Thanks!!!
