It can be real or fake,
It can be deep or shallow,
It can be good, bad and ugly,
It can be temporary or permanent,
It can be filled with loyalty or betrayal,
It can be hard to find yet easy to lose,
It can be one mind in two bodies,
It can be true which is a rarity not a regularity,
It can be better than family or worse than an enemy,
It can stick with you through the storm or abandon you,
It can help you reach your dreams or keep you stagnant,
It can be a rollercoaster of ups and downs, talk and silence,
It can allow you to be authentically you or be someone else completely,
This thing called friendship it is ever changing but those that are meant to stay will stay.
“No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.”
Alice Walker
