This Life: Rules of Friendship

What do you expect from your friendships? When you decide to make someone your friend is there a rule book for what a friendship should entail? Lately I have been questioning that because I always thought that loyalty, caring for others needs sometimes before your own, and of course genuine love was what everyone uses as a rubric for friendship. I love my friends and wouldn’t change them for the world, but friendships change and it’s about understanding the change, knowing and wanting to change for the sake of keeping the evolving friendship. What do your rules of friendship contain? I’m really interested in hearing your responses.

Be blessed…KuTTy

    I think the biggest problem we have, is that we come in to a friendship with ideas of what we want out of the friendship. I have learned to deal with friends on a as is basis. That is, I love and care for them regardless of what they do or not do for me. If I let you in my life I take you as you are. If change and evolution happens I take that as well. If we fall off course somewhere then it was not meant to last. We have so much to learn from each other. Let’s not get tied down with your own ideas of what friendships are. Let a friendship blossom. If you get hurt, learn from it, and move on. Don’t let that immediate hurt ruin a friendship that has been cultivated for sometime. It reminds me of Rent, “Take me as I am.”

    I am not sure that I have specific rubrics for friendship due to the fact that my friends reflect a wide range of my special interests- so in a way they are a mirror of me. Each one of my friends add another flavor to my life and are significant because of that. I dont try to change my friends, much less use them as a means to an end. I think that one thing to keep in mind when inviting people into your life is: How does this person fit into the spectrum of my life? The familiar saying: “Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are” should be typical of any friendship…..Ciao Bella!
