Let's talk about: friends...

we all have those friends, who when they're dating someone that person makes your friend a better person OR sadly worse. i always strive to surround myself with people who make me a better person. granted me as a person also has an influence on how a person is going to affect me.

a person that not only makes you light up, feel butterflies, and long for that little touch but also one who can carry on a conversation with your friends without you around, when you're in a public place they are perfectly okay with NOT touching the whole time, and merely more engaging than an empty chair. and i think this all lies in respect.

respect for a group that you are with and not secluding yourself. respect for friendships that have lasted longer than a 2 month relationship. and respect for another human being you want to spend your hours with no matter in what way and not just being a fly on the wall observing. someone who jumps into the middle of the situation and understands that friendships are more important to you.

and to have a relationship, friendship is key first.

respecting all love, romantic or unconditional, pure love for all the relationships in life

find that person who respects your love for others.. and makes you a better person for that love...
