It says a lot about the character of a person who has no friends! It really makes me ask “what are you doing with your life?” I’m not saying that someone with friends is a bad person. But I do feel that without strong friendships a person is missing out the quality of life. You can be smart, successful, rich, and everything else but with no one to share it with, in my opinion it’s all for none.
What is your life worth if you gain all these individual accomplishments and have no one there to appreciate you for it? What is it worth to not have someone you can share your deep thoughts with? What is it worth to never have someone there to lend a hand when you are in need? What is it worth for no one to care about anything you do?
I hear people say all the time how they don’t get along with people. Or they don’t have time for friendships. I’m as busy as the next man, and at times I admit to not being as available to my friends as I should. BUT I stand comforted by the fact that I have REAL friends in my life. Friends that trust me with their lives, and that I can trust with anything.
Some people don’t even have friends within their own family.
I know someone who had a birthday party at a club, and not one person showed to celebrate with them. I can’t even begin to imagine how that must feel.
I can’t live that life. My friends are very important to me and a big part of my life.
To all my real friends that are reading this I thank God for you. I thank you for your hearts. I thank you for your ears. I thank you for putting up with me. I thank you for you love and support. Mostly I thank you for allowing me to be ME and still remaining my friend *cheese*
I strongly encourage all of you to mend those broken relationships. Constantly create new relationships. Preserve your current relationships.
The relationships that you create today do not only affect you. I have gained favor in my life based on my father’s relationships. I was never picked on in school based on my older brother’s relationships. And because of my relationships, when my son’s son falls down, there will be a hand there to help him up.
Get up and put on ya Good Drawls!! Life is short. Get everything out of it that you possibly can…
I love you all…

I think some people may just prefer to be alone. Some because of situations they have been involved in and some for no particular reason at all. I know tons of people. I have a few I consider friends but most are acquaintances. I have 1 or 2 people I would consider close friends. However, I still enjoy being alone and most times opt to do things alone instead of getting together with someone. Sometimes its easier to just do things by yourself and keep people at a distance. But I do agree that close friendships should be cherished. Forgiveness, loyalty and giving the other person room to be themselves is very important. Nice blog...
