Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more beings. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.
That is what Wikipedia would say.
But what does "friendship" mean? Is it safe? Is it gentle? Is it true?
Maybe. Maybe not.
You see, my friends could be described with what "Wikipedia" says. But they are actually more than that.
More than knowledge; service; good moments; loyalty; advice.
To me, they mean everything.
Sometimes I sit, and think to myself 'what if I didn't have these friends?'. But then again, why wouldn't I?
I am everyday grateful for them and I wish they never went away.
Gelany is really, really special. She is the most wonderful friend I've ever known.
Italo is just Unique. His personality compares to no one else's. I love him for that.
Brian has the charisma to make anybody spend a good time. He is special in his own way.
Rafael is really funny. He could turn anything into a big laugh.
For that, I Love Them All!
