Love, Actually.

As a friend what is the one thing you want for your best friend? You want them to be happy, right? You want their happiness to come before yours, even if that means sacrificing something yourself, as long as your best friend is happy for the most part you are content, correct?
 Hypathetically speaking say your best friend falls for someone, say you don't like that person one hundred percent, or at all for that matter. Not for any specific reason you just arent a fan, but you see the way you he/she makes him/her light up when they talk about them or think about them or even pretend to think about possibly mentioning a memory between them. Either way, whatever the scenerio, you can tell how much they mean to your friend. What happens? You are supportive, you do not however threaten to leave them or tell their parents what is going on before the person has a chance to themselves.
 When you love someone, friend or more than a friend you put their happiness before your own and seeing them happy makes you happy. When someone means something to you, you put their happiness before yours. If you choose to put yourself before them then maybe you need to think about your definition of a friend and your ideas of how your friendship is to them.
 As Harold H Glasow once said "A true friend never gets in your way unless you are going down."
 In friendship, a true friend doesnt get in ones way when they are going for something, something they need to do or something they want with all of their heart, they stand by them and they support them they don't block the way. A friend doesnt block the way unless they are catching as you are falling flat on your face.
 Remember that next time you think of friendship, as you think of your best friend, as you think of you yourself as friend. Do you get in your friends way, do you stop them from doing things (*disclaimer: stopping them from doing something to hurt themselves, no matter how much they want to do it, doesnt count as getting in their way negatively*), do you stop them from going after what they want. If you do any of the above, check yourself because maybe you arent being who you need to be.
 Concerning your friends think about the same questions: Do they stop you from doing things, do they twist things so it benefits them, do they get in your way. If so maybe you are using them as crutch because you think you can't do any better.
           Or maybe you just need to spellcheck your version of True Friendship.
