Re: Could we have a NICE thread...
Best of the day to all of my "unknown" friends on AFF. Love all the varied input gleaned here. Thanks for allowing me to post my simple thoughts occasionally.
This is how a number of young people responded when asked
"What makes a good friend?"
• someone who will support you no matter what
• someone you can trust and who won't judge you
• someone who won't put you down or deliberately hurt your feelings, but will show kindness and respect
• someone who will love you not because they feel they have to because you're their friend, but because they choose to
• someone whose company you enjoy and whose loyalty you can depend upon
• someone who will be there no matter what your situation is
• someone who is trustworthy and not afraid to tell you the truth, no matter how hard it is sometimes
• someone who can laugh when you laugh
• someone who will stick around when things get rough
• someone who makes you smile
• someone who can accept you for who you are, and just lend you an ear when you need to whine or complain
• someone who will cry when you cry
• someone who will give you room to change.
Thanks friends!
