Friendship

Some people get confused asto what a friend is. Some say that a friend is an aquaintance you hang out with from time to time. Others say that a friend is anyone you spend time with. I'm a little different. You might think that a friend is someone you would die for. This is a moot point for me. I'm the kind of person that would jump infront of a gun for a stranger. However, for a friend I would do much more. I'm willing to give up my hopes, dreams, and ambitions to make sure my friends are safe and taken care of. Friendship has to be both ways though. It's not possible, or atleast not healthy, for me to care for someone like that if they won't even try to do the same for me. I'm very intense, and I don't expect that much from my friends, but it would be nice if they would try. If they don't, then it's not worth it. The time, energy, and emotion that I put into a friendship must yield something or else it's not even a friendship. It's something else, something wrong.
