Friends. In HIGH or Low places.

Everyone's opinions of friends and friendships vary. What is a great friend to some could be considered a crappy friend to other.. and vice versa.

I think a general rule of thumb should apply.

Fair-weathered friends. People you consider friends.. but usually come around only when it is convenient for them.

Good friends. People you talk to and could possibly count on and go to for advice or in a time of need.

True friends. They are there through the high's an low's and when you aren't looking, surprise you by being an amazing friend in your darkest hour.

I know what kind of friend I am, do you know what kind of friend you are?

I think what would hurt me as an individual... as a friend.. is one of my friends thinking that I was not there for them when they needed it. Looking back at my friends that disappear when I could use them the most.. just shows me what kind of friend they really are.. and has taught me to not hold them in the same beaming light I have shined on them in the past.
