What's your idea of a true friend?

Do You Have True Friends?
Keri Leigh Ratcliff

What is your definition of a true friend? My ideal true friend is someone who I can talk to about anything, I can be myself around this person, they are always willing to talk and hang out not just when it's convenient for them or just because they need something, my ideal true friend is someone who doesn't use me because I can do things they can't. I have went through several "best friends". These friends are the ones that are only around long enough for them to get something out of it and once they get what they needed they stop talking to you. It really hurts when someone you thought was your best friend doesn't talk to you but can talk to everyone else doesn't it? People will always claim they're your friend when they really aren't. Even little kids are willing to be friends with everyone. so why can't we be that way to? There are certain people in your life that can be considered your true friend.

1. Your parents.

My mom has always been here for me no matter what. She's always willing to listen and give me advice. I have my step dad who is willing to buy me anything I want and take me any where I need to go.

2.Your grandparents.

I have the two most craziest grandparents ever! They are always willing to make me pancakes and help get me out of trouble. God.. God has given us the best advice of all time in the Bible. The information we get from God in the Bible is advice we need to hear. He loves us no matter what.

3.God-siblings.

I have the best god brother of all time! He is so sweet and kind hearted. He can always be seen smiling and is a good song leader.

4.Church family.

I have god parents at church that I know I can rely on no matter what. I have friends at church that I know I can always go to if I need a laugh.

5. Those who you have tons of stuff in common with.

I have great friends now that I'm in college who are in band with me. They are always there for me and can always make me laugh even when I'm extremely tired. Nobody needs a part time friend! People we thought were our best friends will start acting different.

Sometimes we will get looked at strange for not going along with the crowd, get made fun of and looked at get talked about. There is a song that we often sing at our church called Where No One Stands Alone. This song always reminds me that yes I get to where all I want to do is cry at times but I am not alone and neither are you. We truly have a friend in Jesus. No matter how bad things get and how much you feel like you have no one to turn to you always have God.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
