FRIENDS
What does the word friend mean? It's funny to me that so many people have so many interpretations of what the word actually means. Some people call anybody they speak to their friend. Some call anybody they know their friend. And then there are the people like me who use the word so rarely that people probably don't think I associate with anybody.
I don't make it a practice of getting all philisophical about things but in this instance I do. "A Friend" is a person who is there for you no matter what messes you have made in your life. They never judge you or berate you. If you need something you call this person. If you feel like crap and you just need to feel better, you call this person. If you hate yourself because you feel everything about yourself is wrong because you have feelings you can't explain, you call this person. If this person is not available you know that just leaving a message will get a call back. To top it all off you have got to be willing to do the same thing for them. A past acquaintance that is on the way to becoming a friend once told me that if you can give a person your ATM card with the PIN number and tell them to hold on to it for weeks or months and you know that when you get it back and the balance is the same...THAT'S YOUR FRIEND!!
In my mind if a person is not all this and more; don't disgrace the word and call them a friend. Somethings just gotta be sacred.
I feel truly blessed to be able to say I have "a friend" so just imagine how having 2 or 3 friends make me feel. I have had some relationships over the years that are just now blossiming into that beautiful thing called friendship. God am I lucky!!

Nigga pulleeezzeeee!!!!!!!
A friend is exactly the one who will judge you, berate you, and more. At least that's me.
If you start talking some mess...I will tell you that you're being stupid. If you sleep with someone....I will call you a hoe. If you fall down....I will help you up barely holding in the laughter.....once you are up on both feet again and I see that you are ok.....I will laugh until I pee my pants................now that's a friend.
Of course I will pull a blade out of my weave and cut any otha mutha fukka who does the same thing I did. Sheeeeyit, I put the time into this friendship...I have earned the right to judge and berate you........but I truly pity the fool who tries to take those same liberties with you. Hell naw!!!!!
