is friendship truly the only rose without a thorn?
i don't think so.
misunderstandings happen.
especially when assumptions are involved.
people get hurt.
people get offended.
people get angry.
people get defensive.
fallings out fall upon you.
you question yourself.
you question the other person.
you question what it means to be friends.
you lose face.
you lose sight.
you lose friendships.
sometimes, you lose faith.
then, after some time passes, you think about everything you've thought about before.
and you gain perspective.
of what it means to have a friendship with another person.
of what your responsibility is in a friendship.
of what your responsibility is in being the friend of that friend.
of how you can now grow that much more as a person.
because i believe we are put here on earth to learn and to grow, from ourselves and from each other.
and i thank all of my friendships for that.
