the art of friendship

it's the tattoo i have on my right ankle

it's turning the doorknob around for you when they know you are going to stay at their house and your kid will try and escape if she hadn't done that

it's telling you he's just not into you.  and that's okay because it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you

it's telling you that your art isn't what they know it can be

it's telling you your ass does look fat in that dress

it's telling you your ass doesn't look fat in that dress

it's holding your hair back while you puke and then finding you a rubber band when they get tired of standing there too long

it's letting you vent about the most trivial bullshit on earth just because you need to

it's never judging you

it's telling you that you are better than you think

it's taking your keys when you've had to much to drink

it's being able to tell someone you aren't happy in your relationship

it's starting the day off with mimosas

it's tea parties and fancy hats

it's peeing in the yard

it's shotgunning beers

it's dancing until you are positive your legs will fall off

it's so you think you can dance

it's sharing with someone that you secretly love that cheesy new britney spears or beyonce song

it's letting you cry until you don't need to cry anymore

it's a big backyard with a hammock

it's hanging rope lights on a deck

it's furniture and art shopping

it's wanting to strangle each other when you've hung out for too long

it's not actually strangling each other when you've hung out for too long

it's knowing that if the world ended at that very second, you would be just fine spending your last moments with that person

it's realizing that the world will be a little darker when they leave it

it's telling you that you look pretty when you cry

it's accepting you for exactly who you are

it's babysitting for free

it's giving more than you expect to get back.

heed my words, people!  friends are the family you make for yourself so treat them like they are indispensable...because they are.  they make life easier and make your life shine brighter just being in it.  the basis of friendship is love.  so really, the two go hand in hand.  you can't be someone's friend if you don't love them.  it's the root of all we do...at least it should be anyway.
