Friends and Relations of People Who Mean Most to You
By Debbie Edwards

I have had a good many friends in my life. My friends that I call existing are ones that I see on a day to day basis. They are someone I can rely on to be by my side through thick and thin. Somebody that I can call at any given moment of the day and know that they are there. That's if they are not working of course. There are many reasons for people to connect. Maybe it's the person's personality or their appearance that has drawn you to them.

So many different reasons in becoming a friend. Personally I look for what's inside a person not what's on the outside. You'd be amazed at what kind of friends you can have by not judging appearances. Look for the inner being of a person and see what there is for offerings. Will this person be by your side with what ever comes your way?What about troubling times, can you count on them to comfort you?If you're sad will they put a smile on your face? Maybe you've gotten hurt and need medical assistance. Will they be there to seek help?If your life has fallen into a million pieces will this person be there to put it back together or at least help you in the right direction?If any of these apply to you than you have found yourself a life long friend.

Another type of friend is what I call the existing no tag friend. This is a friend who you rely on and can trust but don't see every day. In fact you may only see them maybe four to five times a year but that's okay cause these types are a strong relationship that can handle the once in awhile contact. These are usually friendships existing from childhood that have never gone astray.

Now we can get into another type of friendship that is the I don't know you yet type. You ever see how this works. Maybe you don't know this person but you will when you get something big that brings their attention on it or perhaps a lottery windfall. These are the type of friends you attract. Never met them before in your life but suddenly they are your best friend because they want a piece of the action. I chuckle when I think about something that someone had told me long ago and that is if you never had friends wait until you win the lottery.

One more is the friendship relationship. This one can be very rewarding and an everlasting one. Some relationships start out as friends then lead to a lifetime of relations. You meet someone get to know them as a friend, then the next thing you know your walking down the aisle in becoming their spouse and starting a family. This can be one of the most important relationships you'll ever endure in your life.

Some people like to jump into a relationship like this with both feet and most times it doesn't have a chance. In doing this you are just judging a book by it's cover instead of opening it and looking at what's inside.

Always get to know someone from the inside out not the opposite. Getting to know someone is making a friend. Some people will change themselves in order to fit in a crowd. Be yourself. Individuality is what makes us so important to one another. After all can you imagine what this world would be like if we were all the same.How boring would that be? We need to be ourselves so we can keep it interesting to one another.
