Friends

As some of you may or may not know, times of late have not been going that well for me.
Certain circumstances pertaning to family tragedy have made me feel extremely emotional and depressed...and for those of you who know me well, i am never usually like this.
This got me thinking, you know, about how much i appreciate my friends.
I think i can honestly say, that if i didn't have my friends, i would be dead.
I would have no-one to share my secrets with...no-one to gossip...and no-one who could help me through unbearable amounts of pain.
It also got me thinking about the type of friends i have...my friends are divided into two succinct groups:

1. Old Friends
These are my friends i have known since primary school. Although there arn't that many of them, we stick together through most things. This all girl group can be sometimes extremely bitchy...but i choose to ignore that side and focus more on positive things. This group also includes my best friend. I've known her since i was three; 16years...that's a hell of a long time. We pretty much tell each other everything, and if something happens, she's the first one i call. We're like peas in a pod...even though we don't look the same, we have similar minds, and the same sense of humour. Without her i'd be lost. My old friends are sometimes random...which i love, because i never know what to expect, and each experience is completely left field of the previous. I go through stages though, of sometimes wondering if my old friends are actually valuable...because sometimes they do things that make me angry, and i just feel so annoyed that they could do something like that. But, if our friendship has lasted since we were little, then i guess it's worth fighting for.

2. Uni Friends
I have only been at uni since February, but i feel that i have known my uni friends my whole life. They are seriously awesome people. We have the best times when we are all together. I can also count on these people not to judge me, because that's just not them. I have found, that at uni, everyone is so accepting. It doesn't matter what background you come from, what colour your skin is, or how much money you have...everyone is generally liked. I love that feeling. I spend a lot of time with my uni friends...more so than with my old friends. It is these uni friends that i have come to rely on a lot in recent times. They are allways willing to listen, no matter how much i talk, cry, or scream...they always have advice to give and are always willing to help me with any situation arrises. I am truely grateful for them...and i can only hope that as i grow older and learn the ways of the world..that my uni friends will be there beside me, walking the same road.

So, as you can see...my friends are my world
That's never going to change
And when they need me, i'll always be there...and they shall return the favour
that's how i work
