The Friend that Last

Ever get tired of making new friends, I mean since the friendships before didn't last or aren't there. For me I've moved a lot, I've changed a lot, but where I go I tell others about the amazing people I have known and the experiences we shared. Who I have become I give thanks to the individuals, my friends and family, as they helped me along the way to get to this point.

Growing up, I knew I was different because of this I used to be totally shy, but I'm college a great group of men changed me dramatically. I became extraordinarily outgoing, going up to random people and just talking, or the other way around. I was someone many trusted, and this trust still holds with treasures I still cherish. Even with such trust and appreciation they came and went, I started losing passion for making any more friends as all I've known in my life is the come and go, in friendships, location, work, success, and who I am.

Since a few years ago I've been trying to find a way to change this, change myself to friend that lasts; by trying to understand what makes a friend, are there limitations, why do they last, and what is it about me that makes me someone worth not only having a friendship with, but a lasting friendship. I have found many understandings, from talking with people, observing, and still it doesn't change what my life has become and continues to be.

I have lost touch with many of my closest friends, and for this I've been intentionally limiting or refraining from making anymore. As I do not wish to be someone others cannot count on, or find a long lasting friend with. So until I can offer what it seems is needed:

Stability
Consistency
Loyalty
Responsibility
Trust
Value
Desire

I will be as human as a man can be, just a man passing by.
