One of the most priceless things in the world is friendship and for that reason I have resolved that true friendship is something worth fighting for and holding on at almost any cost.
But the deeper question is, what is friendship?
Friendship is being able to call someone in the middle of the night because you can't sleep, and knowing there will be conversation on the other end of the line (no matter how insignificant it is).
Friendship is knowing that you will be laughed with but never at whenever you fall flat on your face.
Friendship is knowing that compliments are not a hidden set-up for humiliation, and criticism is not borne from jealousy and contempt.
Friendship is the name that comes to mind when you need comfort as (sometimes invisible) tears are running down your cheeks.
Friendship is knowing that no matter how deep you fall there will always be someone to throw you a rope and not remind you about it later.
Friendship creates a warmth that can melt icicles from the coldest heart.
Friendship is something worth fighting for even when pride is on the line. Indeed it is one of the most difficult things to lose and even more difficult to regain. Anyone that is willing to sit by idly and let it go without a fight was never a friend at all.
