Friends

by Farron, (http://farron.shoe.org/)
Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association.
Although there are many forms of friendship, some of which may vary from place to place, certain characteristics include affection, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other's company, trust and the ability to be one's self, express one's feelings and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend.
While there is no practical limit on what types of people can form a friendship, friends tend to share common backgrounds, occupations or interests and have similar demographics.

I like the be angry, but forsake them not part. Was just in a situation where I was very angry that a friend was letting herself be used over and over again. Said some things in anger that were really ugly. I later apologized, but I know that she is still hurt and unable to talk to me about things now because she is afraid that I will get angry again. I pray that I will learn to be a better friend...
