A friend is like the plant that grows in the same place as where you planted the seed. And this plant provides all of your needs and tranquilizes your anxiety. They nullify your fears and follow you to find peace. So many people will plant seeds and nothing will grow and yet they will still be misguided in to believing this is the actions of a friend. Others will spend no time planting the seeds and expect that plant to grow. This is not the basis of a true friendship either.
When they speak their mind and you have no fears to disagree. When they’re silent and yet you know their thoughts. When they’re gone and you don’t miss them, because what you love about them becomes more clear in their absence, than when they’re standing by your side. A friend does not try to dry up the ocean of your happiness, nor put out the fire of your wrath. They don’t resent your fortune, nor smile at your grief. They accept you for either and love you for neither.
A friend is as loyal to you as you to them. They do not lie, because they know you can accept the truth. They do not steal because they know you can accept the truth. They do not steal because they know you would give it to them if they asked, and they would supply you the same. They recognize your dreams and do nothing to stand in the way of them, but rather guide you toward them.
They do all this, because they know you would to the same. A friend is a rare commodity that a person will only find a few times in the span of their life. During the hours of days spent freely, these hours should be spent with them. For hours are minimal and if they truly are a friend, these hours belong to them.
It is important when finding a friend that you keep them, by making absolutely sure you are one as well.
Sometimes
people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions
destroyed.
If you want people to see you the way you truly are
start showing yourself the way you truly are.
I’ve been
walked on, used and forgotten and I don’t regret one moment of it,
because in
those moments I’ve learned who I can trust and can’t.
I’ve learned the meaning
of friendship.
I’ve learned how to tell when people are lying and when they are
sincere.
I’ve learned how to be myself,
and appreciate the truly great people
in my life as they arrive.
Have the
courage to say no. have the courage to face the truth.
Do the right thing
because it is right.
These are the magic keys to living your life with
integrity.
Always
speak the truth even if they walk out of your life because of it.
Many people, especially ignorant people, want
to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never
apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re
right and you know it, speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the
truth is still the truth.
- Gandhi
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you
are aldready a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to
it, to know it, to realize it

There is no god higher than truth

Change the way you look at things
The things you look at will change.
