Friendship and Loyalty

I figure that my blog is poorly read these days. No doubt because of my infrequent and haphazard posting patterns. That said, I do say what I feel and I always qualify to my friends who read it that they may not like what they read - but its who I am and that's just what it is.

I was lucky to have loyal friends. They would stand behind me NO matter the situation. If I broke up with a girl, they'd be on my side no matter the situation. Especially in the initial breakup period - they would not put me in a situation where I'd be uncomfortable. For example, especially if the girl wasn't a good friend of theirs, they would not invite her to a get together if they knew I was coming for sure.

That's loyalty to a certain extent. But its loyalty out of understanding which is what I treasure even more. My word of advice to those who consider themselves close friends of someone else - be mindful of their feelings and the choices they have made. If you're truly a great friend, you won't force upon them an uncomfortable situation. My truly loyal friends never did and still never have - and for that reason I respect them highly.
