Friends- we all have them, we all love them. Friends are a vital part of life, and a lovely part of life. I was looking through my facebook list and realised that the people on my friends list fit pretty much into the following categories. Some of course fit into more than one.
The school friend
When you are at school it is your world. But as soon as you leave, you find it was quite a small world after all. The friends you thought you would cherish forever move on and you all go in different directions. You try to catch up for a start, and may see each other at weddings, but mostly you just see each other on facebook
The long distance friend
These are friends with whom you shared a time in your life and now you are separated by distance. But when you get together the distance and time falls away and its like you were never apart
The true friend
These ones are rare, so when you get them you need to treasure them with your life! A true friend will be there when you need them, to be a shoulder to cry on, whom you could call at 4 in the morning if your world should fall apart. They listen to you when you talk, instead of talking at you all the time. They just seem to know when things are not going well and know when a hug is needed. A true friend makes you feel good about yourself and is one whom makes a smile appear on your face when you hear their name. Someone with whom there is nothing you cannot share. They really are one of Gods greatest gifts
The friend in sheeps clothing
This friend is one to watch out for. They claim to be a friend but don’t do many friend type things. They call you- friendly- but talk about themselves the whole time- unfriendly. They get your hopes up- friendly- but constantly let you down- unfriendly. They can be good fun- friendly – but it tends to be all about them- unfriendly. You sometimes wonder if you mean anything to them at all
The fun friend
This friend is a good time friend. You get together and it’s all about the laughs. They are refreshing for the soul and you look forward to getting together with this friend. This friend is one who brings out the youthfulness in you and one with whom you can have good childlike fun
The friend you avoid in the supermarket.
This is a friend whom you knew in the past. You accepted them on fb only cos you find it difficult to say no. If you see this friend in Woollies, you may be tempted to go down a different aisle if they haven’t seen you. Or you may quickly duck into the 12 items or less aisle with over 30 items in your basket to escape them (and end up mortified when you realise your social faux pas and get death glares from people behind you in the line)…… not that I speak from experience of course lol
