"...But to me the darkness was red-gold and crocus-coloured, With your brightness, And the words you whispered to me, Sprang up and flamed—orange torches against the rain. Torches against the wall of cool, silver rain!" ---Summer Rain, Amy Lowell

A friend won't care!
Lately, I've been watching Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl in parts.
It's the most boring movie I've ever watched. *sigh*
Anyways, I've been thinking about something pretty interesting. You depend on other people throughout your entire life, right? But sometimes, they don't always meet your expectations. What irritates me most is that it seems the closer you get to someone, the less likely they are to meet said expectations. There's this idea that-"Oh, they're a friend, I don't have to get it done by the deadline for them." Yes, that's true, friends should be forgiving and versatile, but how far should you put them off?
Another instance of this is in trust. You can tell a person a lot about you, but it seems the closer you get to them and the more they hear, the less they treasure the facts they hold. Some of those facts are just rocks and dirt. But even though some are like gold and rubies, a friend will sometimes 'drop' a secret that is one of those treasures.
FRIENDS ARE NOT CONCRETE! They're not invincible. Even if you drop a brick, parts of it are going to chip off. If you drop a brick from a tall building a few times, it's going to be a much smaller brick after you drop it. If you drop it from a skyscraper...well, it's probably not going to be in one piece on the sidewalk below.
FRIENDS AREN'T TOYS!!! You can't play rough with a china doll. Even if they appear as hard as stone, underneath they do have a heart.
Friends aren't CLOTHES!!!-You don't 'try on' friends. And I'm not just talking about friends-friends. I'm talking about boyfriends and girlfriends, too. If the Lord has blessed you with someone that you love and hope to marry someday, then you stick with them. You don't keep switching between the pink shirt and the green one. Nobody likes being treated like that.
The greatest comfort I have amidst this, though, is to know that Jesus will NEVER treat someone this way; not even by accident! He will not discard you as 'just another friend' but rather, you will always be precious in His eyes.
Done with my rant! (No, this was not aimed at any of MY friends, but rather at the friends of a certain girl I know).

This is one of the many reasons picking the right friends is so important.
Indeed. I wish that were better understood by ppl nowadays-you choose your friends for a reason.
