Friendship is Worth Fighting For

People come and go in our lives, things come and go, times come and go.  Finding the few people who to stay no matter what is what matters.  Those are your best friends. Be the one to stay and be there for your best friends no matter what.  That's what being true friend is: being there at their brightest moments and darkest times.  Always being there for them, not only at your convenience.  Always being there supporting them, loyalty speaks volumes.
 
We all make mistakes and go through difficult times, but it's the support of our friends that keep us from breaking.  There is an impact the moment someone watches their friends vanish and turn a blind eye; their confidence, happiness, self-importance, and self-esteem--- All for the worse.  Don't ever let that happen.  Be the one always there.  Yes matter if people judge you, or if they say —by supporting that person you are supporting a bad cause— YES, you are supporting a best friend, and you are supporting him or her because they have been there for you your whole life.  People learn by example, set the precident.  Be the one person there for somebody no matter what for.  Support them and let them know you care. 

Forgive people please, there's things worth fighting for in life, and friendship is one of them. 
Don't just be another llama, thinking and acting like the masses; stand out.  Think about the Holocaust.  It took someone to stand out from a mob and say what was happening was wrong.  We don't do things in fear of reprocussions or because it is the "norm", we do things because they are right and it is our duty to activity stand for what we believe.  An inch can go a mile.  It is about taking that first step, a first step many dread to take, a first step many pray for.

About a year ago today I was in a predicament: to either stand by my best friend since I was litte, or do the easier option; turn my back and abandon my friend.  Picked the first option.  I am proud.
