All In My Twenties: A REAL Friend's Reminder...

Hey there lovies!

Happy Monday.

Cant believe the weekends already gone, but on a positive note this girl has this week to work and then will? be off for 2 WEEKSSSS on vacation.

Words cannot describe the excitement I feel!

Yay for Dallas and yay for the Bahamas!

{Still trying to get her butt before then!!}

I had a wonderful weekend, but more on that later.

Today Im going to preach a little reminder we all need to hear every now and then.

You know Im good at that.

To be honest, sharing them with you seems to help keep me on track too, which is why I do it!

This one is about Friendship.

friend.ship

NOUN

1. the mutual feelings of trust and affection and the behavior that typify relationships between friends

2. a relationship between people, organizations, or countries that is characterized by mutal assistance, approval and support

3. a relationship between two or more people who are friends

This definition probably isnt news to any of you.

The reason Im sharing it today is because sometimes I think people lose sight of what being a "good friend" truly entails. Im completely aware that all relationships have their ups and downs. Thats life. And no we arent always going to see eye to eye with our friends but I think we need to all be thankful and?appreciative of those friends we count on to be there always. And I think we should all try a little harder to be supportive, affectionate and loving at least 90% of the time. No one is perfect nor is any friendship, but I think if we tried harder to be nicer and to be the best friend we can be more often, our friendships would be the best they can be.

Most importantly, and the whole reason Im talking about this today,?I think as a?friend you need to know when?NOT to be "truthful". Sometimes saying nothing at all is better than being "truthfully" mean to your friends. You may not agree with them and you may want to be brutally honest, but sometimes holding your tongue will benefit both you, and your friendship, far more. I think some people take the "Im just being honest" approach when they should be taking the "Im just going to stay silent" stand. Just because youre a "best friend" does NOT give you the right to say MEAN hurtful things even if they are honestly how you feel. This is something I think we all need to keep in mind because sometimes its the little snide remarks that really HURT and thats NOT why we have friends. No one wants to feel attacked or hurt by the ones who are suppose to love them the most.

So the next time youre in a shitty mood or youre irritated,?try and refrain from taking it out on the ones you love most.?Take a moment and remember why you call that person your "best friend" and then shut your trap because a REAL best friend wouldnt want to hurt their feelings.

Just a thought to keep in mind.

Thats all for today friends!!
