Life for me right now is somewhat harsh and I am hanging in there because I believe in not giving up despite the odds. Friendship has been on my mind for sometime now, and it is the very thing that I cherish most. A true friend is something that is extremely rare, in fact, hardly anyone in this life may even find that one person. I have an eternal friendship with Jesus and that I cherish at most, but I am also saying that the true friendship of a human being is so rare that the no language on this Earth could describe the lacking of it. Especially in our society, which takes friendship for granted very easily.

Why am I lecturing on this topic? I saw a full length animation last night expressed true friendship at its greatest. It was called ARASHI NO YORUNI(One Stormy Night). The story is very innocent and the moral of it is priceless. I highly recommend this masterpiece, especially to those of you out there that loves Japanese Animation. I am not going to go into detail because I don't want to ruin it but do look up on it. You can also watch the movie on youtube:

I have met countless people in my life who I believed were my friend and found out otherwise. I have also met a some people of which were extraordinary characters. But I have only met a few who were really true.

With that, I also found this:

The ABCs of a true Friend

Accepts you as you are
Believes in "you"
Calls you just to say "HI"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Invites you over
Just to "be" with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never Judges
Offers support
Picks you up
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks beside you
eXplains things you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen, and
Zaps you back to reality

God bless those who are true to their friendship.

Last thing I will say that there is something going on in my life right now that is the most heavy cross I ever had to bear. I say as much as it has to do with a family member and I am fighting for them, because I don't let the people I love fall. I will risk my life if must be.
