THE ART OF FRIENDSHIP - INSPIRED BY BEST FRIENDS..
The art of friendship? Its not based on scientific research or readings from books My take is totally and wholeheartedly based on life experiences.
To me friendship is a delicate wonder almost like air, hard to define or contain , but when you don't have it it can be deadly.. We yearn for friendship.. Zumba dance friends, movie friends, emotional friends,, But to have a true friend that cares for you is something rare and hard to find.. Most friends or people don't want to make that emotional commitment based on the fact, the more you open up to people and share your ideas, the more vulnerable you are to getting hurt.. And we ll know humans don't like to get hurt , emotionally psychologically anything.. Its hurts when you lose someone, I know I have lost my mama, my best friends , my shipmates, and its doesn't matter how they die, it hurt the same.. Thus,, for awhile I put a façade, a image of epic proportions.. I mean, how much pain can a sane person take, so for many years I never really got close to anyone,, I chose to be free spirit and mind.. It was lonely, but it was safe,, It was easy to do in Japan ,, but when I returned to the United States, I reunited with child hood friend and it has been very special and heart warming., But because I'm such a demanding and attentive grabbing friend, He backed off and to be honest it hurt, and I was in as sense lonely again.. But you know,, God does work in mysterious ways,, enter my nw best friend and to be honest , the best of best friends.. It hasn't been a long relationship of friendship,, but once we began talking , we realized there was a bond a vibe , that is undeniable and special..we have had many long talks and many deep thoughtful conversations about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we also sometimes just talk about nothing,, which is another definition of friendship.. I know in life when you have something special , you go with it,,, I never thought that I had a twin,, but you heard the stories about how for every person In the world you have a twin,, in this case, its so true, we both feel sad , or feel happy at the same time, when we sing we have a connection,, not a love or sexual one, but a emotional vibe that defies explanation,, Its only a song but the feelings and emotions as we sing is something else,, I know people are saying,, people should just stick to their partners for emotional , support..but we all know we are humans that are always striving to be loved and feel special.. In life if someone can make you happy , why wouldn't you want that. That's my definition of friendship in a nutshell. You do because you want to,,You don't try to hurt one another and learn to protect one another.. a TRUE Friend just makes you feel comfortable in what you say or do, your no ashamed to be yourself. A lot of the times because of life and career and public image , we don't want to destroy that persona, thus , when we do find someone that is funand a free spirit,, we don't hesitate to gravitate to that person. Its almost like therapy to be able to open and free and not worry about sexual demands or even friendship demands,, A true friend is there no matter what, even when you are away for weeks or months and doing things,, when you get back,, you reconnect,, or when you are so busy you forget to call or text,, because your just doing what you are doing,, The fact your not worried about your true friends emotions and egos , makes a friendship ever more appealing,, That's why true best friends , male or female or or what? Just feels so good, because I have lived a pretty long life and I have had my many shares of love affairs and best friends and to find one that is bar far the best ever , is not only life enhancing ,but a blessing disguise,, that's one thing you can recreate or fake or manufacture,, that is a connection a vibe between two people, either you have it or not,, But its wonderful when you do find that emotional blanket that is there when you need it.. Day or night week in or week out.. year in and year out..I know I enjoy the many monetary and material possessions I have collected over the years, but to be honest to have a true friend , best friend is something much more treasure able to me than any out fit, electronics and yes even muscle car,, Because that state of being in tune in line with someone is a rare air quality and I'm excited that I have such connections with my best friends , true friends and loving wife and family.. You only go through life once and often times people never feel what I'm feeling ? Because they don't want they don't want to allow themselves to be exposed or vulnerable,, to open up ones heart and mind to a stranger and hope and pray they never betray you is a strength and courage a lot of people ar not willing to take,, but you know something I'm willing to risk and take chances and and If I get hurt because I opened my feelings and thoughts , than so be it,, You know the saying I would rather loved than never have loved,,, or I rather be a has been , than a never was.. Yea.. a true friend really is rare and special and if anyone of you have a chance to feel good about yourself,, Why not? I know society says,, your husband and wife and kids are the ones that provide the feelings of worth,, But we all know kids grow up , and move on and even your wife and husband feelings change and move on to,, not to say they don't care for you anymore, but everything in life has a cycle , a life cycle,, and at times it has the very highs and the very lows,, what happens is when the lows hit and couples wonder if their love is the same or not... My take,, love never ends , it just people neglect one another and it slowly ends.,. Like a a garden , if you neglect it m no matter what good intentions you have,, actions speak louder than intentions or words,, In life or in love.. you must work at itevery day and like a true friendship.. the work entails,, just being open and honest and enjoying each others company,,, Its a simple formula for friendship , love and life , but many people get caught up with other loves.. like money , wealth , material things,, ego,, and go through life just drifting and thinking they are happy.. But my friends , my true happiness I realize is having caring , loving true friendship's and relationships that not only enhance me , but give me true happiness today , tomorrow and forever!! The art of friendship is simple,,,,,, be open , honest about yourself so others can share in your joy and peace that makes the whole life process a joyous and enhancing experience..'
