While at dinner with a couple close guy friends last night, I found myself in one of my thinking modes I seem to find myself in pretty often lately. A few years ago, I stumbled into a new kind of community. I was dragged into a completely different type of friendship than what I was used to. Before this, my friends and I only hung out at school and rarely ever out outside of school. It took me a couple years to really truly belong to this group. Although I wasn't born in a rough neighborhood nor was a raised in one, I seem to be able to fit in just fine with the people that were. These are the people that belong to this group of friends.
This group of friends will stick by your side unless you fail to follow the unwritten rules. We're closer than most families. We do not let someone struggle, get hurt, or go through hard times alone. We're all in it together and we don't leave a single person behind. If someone gets jumped, we might as well have all gotten jumped. If someone is starving, we might as well all be starving. If someone is ill or in a bad situation, we might as well all be there right next to that person. We don't snitch on each other. We share a bond so strong nothing and no one can ever break it.

This was a very interesting post, and yes good friends are really hard to find.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting post! It’s nice you have a close connection with others you can count on because that is so very important in life. Be careful with the flow of your words - articles are easier to read if there are fewer abrupt sentence endings and more conjunctive thoughts using commas, and, or, but, ect…. Great job overall.
ReplyDeletesounds like no one should mess with you guys! good post
ReplyDeleteTrue friends like that are hard to find. Seems like most people are just looking out for themselves these days.
