Friends

Friends mean a lot to me. Actually, I think they mean a lot to everyone. Friends are the people who know you, and are nice to you. That's the general definition of the word. But really, there's more to it. There are many different types of friends. There are those who you can talk to when there's no one else around. There are those you tell all your secrets to and be comforted by the fact that they won't tell anyone. There are those who although are nice to you, are able to backstab you if they want to. There are those who support you to the end, even if you are wrong. I want a friend who I can completely trust and can confide in if I ever get in trouble. Scratch that. If I do get in trouble and end up in jail, my true friend would not be the one bailing me out, but would instead be the one sitting next to me on the bench saying, 'Boy, that was some adventure." (I'm glad I have some friends like that :) ) Friends are indescribable. The amount of value they are to us is irrevocable. In order to have friends, you yourself need to be one first. I try my best to treat others the way I would like to be treated, that is, helping them out as much as possible, and generally, being nice and supporting them. Today, in a lesson, I'm not sure if I was accidently being rude to one of my friends. It wasn't on purpose, and I was just trying to give him/her an advice, but I may have come off a bit arrogant. I felt really bad afterwards, and apologized. Also, I think that sometimes I can be a bit pushy, and selfish. But I don't do it on purpose. Sometimes, I just forget to think. I feel really bad after though. Today, after basketball, I kept trying to persuade my friend to go back downstairs with me, because I wasn't feeling well. I saw that she was trying to practise really hard, and that she wanted to stay a bit longer. However, I felt like throwing up, so I was being kind of pushy. Afterwards, when I got home, I thought it through, and realized what a ..... I had been. I should have seen how much she wanted me to stop bugging her. I felt really sorry after. So anyway, what I'm trying to say is, friends are one of the most important people surrounding everyone's life. People should appreciate it, and not take them for granted.
