Friendship
What is a true friend?
The definition definitely varies from person to person.
But when I think of a true friend, I like to think of myself. I like to say that I am a good friend. See, if I had to pick out my number one flaw as a person, it’d be that I care way too much. When it comes to my relationships with people, I put my entire self into each relationship. It can be draining, especially when there are problems with one of my relationships.
Right now, I feel as though I’m losing a very dear friend of mine… it’s totally a deja vu thing because I had this problem with someone last year and now I don’t speak to that person. It makes me sad to think that another one may bite the dust here. But I’m working hard to prevent that from happening, because I do value this friendship more than many of my other relationships. She’s my sister in Chi Omega, my roommate, and she’s kind of been one of my very best friends here at college.
We’ll see how it goes. I’m hoping to be updated on her life, to get rid of the elephant in the room, and to tell her just how I’ve been feeling too.
Just as another one of my good friends said to me last night, your roommates are your allies… so this is important.
