Despite what some people think there is a difference between friends. Not that whole 'a friend would do.... but a best friend....' no not that, there is simply the difference between types of friends. Yes, the best friends thing, brings up the point that you are closer to certain people than others, thus declaring them 'the best' but when it comes to friends there is a way to determine some things, and no I am not a professional this is simply from my point of view, and please if you don't agree do comment i'd live to hear your opnions. Anyhow, friends can be the people you are around daily, you hang out with during school or outside of school, you laugh with and talk to about all of the gossipy (is that a word?) thoughts...they will be there for you -sometimes- and when you need a smile you can call them up and get the smile you need; but a Friend, (and yes, the capital letter does make a difference) a Friend who you don't see as often as you would like, but someone you think about often, someone who you have made stellar memories together, and it doesn't matter how long you have been apart, you can pick up right where you left off. friends can be there when you need a little help or a smile but Friends are there through think and thin, and are more then just a grin or a chuckle they are a massive smile, like the ear to ear kinda deal. Thank you Friends for being for you but don't forget the friends you have around you too :-)

I guess I think of it as having an inner circle of friends, friends who are casual but who at any moment could probably move to that inner circle. It is circumstances that may keep the next step away. THen there are pals or friendly acquaintances for me and i have to be careful. They may or may not be trustworthy with the stuff inside, but they are the kinds of people who show up if you are in the hospital or someone has died or you've lost your job. Mostly I stick to the inner two circles, which keeps me busy enough being grateful. INteresting post, Amanda
