The point of being a friend

The point of being a friend is not to say that you’re a friend. It’s to BE THERE.
The point of being a friend is not to prevent any damage. It’s to help DO DAMAGE CONTROL.
The point of being a friend is not to be dismissive when your friends tell you they need something. It’s to actually DO SOMETHING.
The point of being a friend is not to keep things from each other, it’s to SHARE WITH EACH OTHER.
The point of being a friend is, simply, understand who you are and why you are the way you are and love you regardless. THAT is being a friend.
