YOU CAN'T PICK YOUR FAMILY, BUT YOU CAN PICK YOUR FRIENDS

Most people love their family, no matter the dysfunction. But the people they tell all their secrets to and trust with their lives are their friends. Could it be that friends choose to be with us, while the family is obligated? The truth is, sometimes family lets you down. Sometimes a hero comes along and gives you a hand up, when no one else would listen to your cries.

A true friend listens, even when you start repeating yourself. They know you are just working through your thoughts. A true friend has your back and wouldn't let anyone talk bad about you in front of them. A true friend would never go after your present or ex-love, because that would be too hurtful to you. A true friend gives advice, but doesn't judge if you don't take it. A true friend only wants what is best for you and you only wanting the best for them. So be the friend you would love to have and you will draw that energy to yourself.
