A message for my FRIEND(s)

I wanted to write something about "friendship" today, because for each and everyone of us, friendship is different, and it has a different meaning.

Our characters, of course, are created by our experiences, and also some of it is part of our nature, we were born with certain qualites, and that makes our defintion and therefore our individuality. People will always come and go in your life, and this is the same for friends. Hence we should value our time with them, as everything does not last forever.

Yet, even when time cause separation in location, true friendship withstands both time and distance. I wanted to say that I value the friends that are "true" friends in my life. To me there are closer then what they think.

I was touched today by 2 friends, for 2 entirely different reasons today. Most of you probaby know, and this is not something I am hiding, that I am going through some changes, but the thing that friendship brought into my life today was "laughter" and "presence" .... one friend bought me laughter, and i have not smiled and laughed that much in days, and the second friend, called me to say that i was on 'their' mind all day, and that 'they' wanted to help, and they gave me advice that was soooo unexpected, but its value is deeper than just words.

I am sure that other friends have done the same - meaning, have touched me in ways, and I simply wanted to say THANK YOU, and I guess, I have not said that I do value the fact that you call, you write, and simply 'stay in touch' because in a society where we can be consumed in everyday realities of study, job, work, family, relationships, one reality that will never have any pressure on you is friends (or they shouldnt :P) ......

I hope, that in ways friends will touch you as they touch me, and I value them more than words can every describe.
