Friendships

Friendships are a funny thing.  I just got done watching “Something Borrowed” with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin.  It got me thinking about friendships and what makes a good friend and what makes a bad friend.  When you have been friends with someone for such a long time, does that mean that eveything they do, good or bad, you should forgive them for?  At what point, do you stop and decide that they’re just not a good friend anymore?
Friendships are always a two way street.  They’re like a relationship.  They dont just happen and you have to work at them a lot.  It cant always be one sided and both people have to want to be in it.  If one person does all the work, is that a friendship?  Life happens and I get that.  People start to go their seperate ways, life changes, and there’s never enough time in the day to do everything that you want to do.  On the list of the important things, is friendships the one thing that can be down at the bottom?  When life gets tough, your best friend is supposed to be the one person you know you can go to with anything.  The one person that wont judge you.  What happens to you when things start happening in their life?  Do you just fade into the background?  At what point do you just give up?
