30 Something

I'm reading a new book, Letters to a young brother, by Hill Harper. In his book he says, " if I can define what I need in a friend, I can allow someone to be that for me and more importantly, I can be that for myself. " He goes on later to say that a lot of times in our lives we have people who we call "friend" but don't fit our definition of friend. He also says that we can't pick our families, but we can pick our friends and we should pick friends who we wished were family--people who we can call at 3 in the morning if we were in a pinch.

I agree with him totally. I realized awhile ago that I didn't have many friends. So this is my attempt to define the type of friend that I need.

I need someone....

who can listen to me complain
who can bail me out of jail at 3 in the morning
who can tell me honestly when i've sweat too much and need to go freshen up
who won't look at me differently if i told my dirtiest secret
who will help me see me
who has money that i can borrow
who can tell my to get my fat ass to the gym
who i can travel with
who i can feel comfortable with borrowing shoes


to be continued...
