That word is used as loosely as the word "racist". Not that they are the same..just use wise.
This is my friend. This was my friend. We are friends. Yadda yadda.
What does that term mean to YOU? What do you expect from a "friend"? How are you are good "friend" and what would you do to for a "friend".
I have many acquaintences. Some, for years. But as far as "friends" are concerned...I am more picky on using that word and have extended it to only a very scant few. Less than the fingers on one hand. Some, it took over 10 years to be one...to them or them to me.
So when a "friend" of mine...one of the few, I might add, says to me "I gotta go now. I have to meet MY FRIEND at the mall". Someone she met a week ago. Friend. Like....eyeroll.
Which made me start this thread. What is FRIEND to you?
