Just being there for someone

Just being there for someone can sometimes bring hope when all seems hopeless.

It hurt because it mattered

So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.

Promise you won’t face them alone

A good friend can’t fix all your problems,
but they can promise you won’t face them alone.

Sometimes we all need a little push

Someone who knows the song in your heart

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

When you forget to love yourself

Best friend is someone who loves you when you forget to love yourself.

Thank you for being there

Dear music,
Thank you for being there when nobody else was.

Never forget who was there for you when no one else was

When you’re with your real friends

When you’re with your real friends you will feel rewarded and honored by the relationships that you have with them because they always appreciate and compliment your talent and abilities without feeling insecure.

People who dream and support and do things

I want to be around people that do things.
I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what other people do.
I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.

And if they can’t pick you up, they lay down right beside you

A real friend is someone who tries to pick you up when you've fallen,
and if they can’t pick you up, they lay down right beside you.

The people who are there for you unconditionally

True friends are the people who are there for you unconditionally.
They are the people who never question you and support you
no matter what the circumstances are. They are the people worth living for.

Doesn’t leave you when you fail.

A true friend is that one person
who’s proud of you when you succeed
and doesn't leave you when you fail.

When someone believes in you

It’s amazing how far you are willing to go when someone believes in you.
