A friend is like a present that you keep finding atover and over again; a treasure that you keep forgetting you have in your possesion.
When you look at little girls friendships and little boys friendsips-they differ quite a bit.
Little girls make a friend out of anything, a doll, a rag; sometimes nothing (it seems) but a gentle stir in the air.
Someone becomes a friend when you feel safe enough to confide in and tell secrets to; someone who you can go to in tears of despair only to come away laughing and renewed; knowing that you will not be judged-but heard.
Someone who will hold up your very own words not in mockery or judgement but as a mirror, held with a steady hand- while you adjust your image.
Little boys are practical creatures.
They like people with whom they can do "things"- build, break, climb,etc.
Scratch the surface of memory and the things and people that make us smile are rooted in our early definitions of "best friend".
I think a successful partnership combines the two.
Best confidante and helper in doing things.
Some of have been blessed to find these qualities in people we have met in cyberspace-and that still blows my mind!
I have decided that men are like a PC while women are more like a MAC.
I like 'em both and do not have to choose.
