So, I've come to realize that women and men can't be just friends. Someone gets used. You try and be nice, open your home, be a caring friend, and apparently if you can't give them what they need-they treat you like...how shall I put it-oh like shit. Even women can't be just friends because it a competition, or I pick uglier friends then myself so I look good. It's horrible when good honest friends are hard to find. Cherish them if you have them and beware of the ones you think you can trust.

Friendship is an amazing thing if it isn't tainted with lust, jealosy, arrogance, or selfishness- it should have love in, if it's true love and not a convenience. Friends don't work out of convenience and yes there are sacrifices and selflessness that are needed in friendships, but some people are blind and too selfish to see that apparently.

Believe me in times of need you will know exactly who your true friends are. They'll call from across the world, or email in the middle of a typhoon. They'll call to see if you need anything after minor surgery. Or they'll hold your head when your waiting in emergency for the second time that week. (Thanks mom-I love you even more because it was your birthday).

I know what has caused this rant and sorry for the ramblings, but dammit everyone wants good friends. You become like the people you surround yourself with-Don't you want to be someone great? I have great friends but due to things like living in Japan, work schedules, etc. We don't see each other alot. But I know these friends and I love them, so when you read this it's not about you. Just a rant brought on by a situation I saw. I know it's only my opinion,but hey I have free speech and a will of my own.
