Friend

"Even when a friend does something you do not like, he continues to be your friend. " - Genghis Khan

There are so many different quotes and stories of it's importance. People have said a lot on it's foundations and the elements it consists. Many can attest to the value of it and how it can be very life changing. Countless have already sacrificed for the sake of the bond. Tears have been shed to save it. There are a lot of people still trying and a lot more have succeeded.
I have always valued the people to whom I make this bond and union. All trust and all love. We find peace in it. We find warmth even in the coldest days. No one can ever truly say that it sucks. Even the hardest times when you feel that it's all not worth it, you just keeps on running back to it. We ask for it's protection and it's wisdom. Most of the times we just wanted to be in it's presence and know that everything is going to be okay. In it's presence, we ask for comfort and guidance. We hope that we will be in the right path but if not we can always come back home.

But it's not perfect. We have been hurt. I have been hurt. What do you do when it fails you? Do you turn your back as well? Do you run back and mend the pieces? When is it too much? When do you say it's enough? Will you ever be the same?

We will never be the same. We will be stronger. I will be stronger.
