What Do You Want?
Highlights of friendship, are you settling for second-best?
According to Oprah, her friend is “more excited about her accomplishments than she is.” Is this something you would like in your friends?

- honesty where needed
- be able to vent and talk openly
- real
- encouraging

I don’t think someone elses accomplishments would be the FIRST think I look for in a friend but I praise my friends for it – I really want my friends to know what I am proud of the – definetly – but I really want my friends to just be there for me good/bad/happy/sad!!! WHAT you do doesn’t define you but HOW you do it does. (If that makes sense)

Yes, this is true. I want friends who are happy and sad with me, not just fair weather or rescuers. This sums it up for me!!
