Lately I've been reflecting on the nature of friendship.
Recently I have been party to some of my friend's more intimate experiences, most of which involving love. In some cases, it is love departed, but as of late the trend has been towards the ignition of new love, and the fanning of nascent flames. And I'm happy for them. I want to see them blossom and prosper in all their ventures.
My philosophy is this: we can't all be perfect, but we keep good friends... I think of it like building a good party. Fill the weakness of your character with the strength of others. The key is compliment and balance. That is how I always thought of my friends, the good ones at least. Everyone has their time and place in our lives, their "role" so-to-say. We all need each other to get by, fight the demons and make it out alive. Life and friendship aren't simple and can't be reduced to these maxims. But there are time we must grind, and those times require our friends.
