Maybe it is time to look for some new friends? sorry to say x |
It's kind of a selfish thing, but I want to remembered, Others may help people and not want any recognition for it, but not me. If it's a shortcoming or flaw I have, I'm ready to admit it.
Another friend of mine helped me out on a really bad day, I've let him know that he saved my butt that day and I'd be forever thankful for it. I could see that acknowledging it made him happy. If I never told him how thankful I am, I'd never see that look on his face, I might never get a chance to help him out : Not just to 'return the favor', but because I'm his friend, who knows, I might die tomorrow, and he would've never known how much I appreciated his help that day, if I hadn't told him.
A friend for me is a friend for life, I don't call myself a 'friend' unless I can live up to the honor of calling myself a friend of someone. Other people cast a wide net and make many, many friends, but not me, it feels like a responsibility, and being a friend of someone means a lot to me.
