The sun will come out tomorrow

One of the things I've noticed throughout my life is that friends come and go, for whatever reason really. I've had a few bestfriends, unfortunately none that I can say have been forever. The closest I had was a girl named Nicole, we were bestfriends for about 12 years. Then it all went downhill, my parents made the executive decision. I was heartbroken and cried for a long time. But I survived, I'd probably be a completely different person if she and I had stayed friends.

At that point in time there was another girl around who ended up being a pretty good friend. I don't think I've ever given her enough credit - and she and I have definitely gone through rough patches. In the end I hope she knows I do care about her. She and I have a well known song that we remind each other of when times aren't so good. It's refreshing because even if we haven't been talking for a while she'll IM me and just say "The sun will come out tomorrow." I'm pretty sure that's a true friend. Someone who will try to cheer you up - even if they hate your guts at that point in time :-P.

There's one thing that really bothers me about people who are "friends." The reason I add quotations is because well, they really aren't your true friends. I'm talking about the type of people who will be there on the sunny days, but disappear when the rain comes. I've had my fair share of them, they only want to be around for the laughs and the good times. In the end all I can really do is shrug it off and let it go, but it's just so frustrating.

I try to be the type of friend who is there on the sunny and rainy days but I'm sure there are times where I've failed. No one is perfect. I guess from now on I'll turn over a new leaf and try to be there no matter what the case.

I guess my advice to people who have friends who aren't there when you need them the most is to just ditch them. You deserve better than that. You can't have a friend who's only going to be there when you're already happy. Then there's no one to bring you back up out of the hole. So screw 'em!
