We all know that people come into our lives for seasons or reasons and irrespective of whichever one it falls under, it is imperative to not focus on what they bring, lack or take away, but that we are made better from the experience of their stay.
Do not count on people to bring you value when your worth should already be solidifed within you. So, if and when they do part due to the change of seasons or for whatever reasons, you know that they have departed better than when they arrived and you too have become better having ultimately survived the Blessing and the lesson that their existence provided to you, as well as you to them.
When I ponder the definition of what it is to be a "friend," I know that I will never be able to truly define it with words, but it shall be through the actions that I am called to take, that will always speak louder than anything ever heard.
True friendship is not supposed to count, rather true friendship should be able to count on. However some experiences will prove to be exhausting should you try to absorb and solve every problem or situation that your "friendship" should bring your way. Worry not about what you cannot control, just focus on what the meaning of your friendship has the ability to extol.
We are not called to be the problem solvers of the world, but to impart of ourselves something that can be absorbed by others, thus making a positive impact in all of the lives that crosses paths with that of ours.
Although true friendship is paramount for everyone's growth, do not allow yourself to succumb to the greediness of selfishness. Guard your selflessness graciously, and in a way that one day even selfishness will have to appreciate.
How we choose to define "Friendship" is just as awkward as the role we play after having defined said word. Do not seek out the definition of "friend," rather BE the definition of "Friend."
God, Love, and Smile Always!
