I love my friends. The way I try show that I love them is to be a committed friend. I try showing the same commitment that my friends show me. However, at times I do not know how to show to my friends that I am committed. So many times I wish there was just one thing I could say that would bring them comfort through trials. If there is one thing I have learned and continue to learn through the trials my friendships have been through it is that, at times, it is better to say nothing at all. I recently heard some devastating news from a very close friend. I was shocked and did not know what to say. I wished there was something I could have said that would bring them some sort of comfort. This was not the case. I was speechless, but perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing. I hung out with my friend that whole evening. I didn’t make it home until 2 in the morning. Despite my friends very shitty happenings we had a fun time. We laughed and joked.
Though I did not have any wise words for my friend, I hope he knows him and my family are in my prayers. And through our times of laughter and joking I hope he sees me as a committed friend.
I hope to be the best friend I can to ALL my friends.
Shine on, friends.
