A true friend is someone we can count on, as well as being so much more. Someone with whom we can relax and just hang out, have fun and share our innermost thoughts-- lofty and noble goals, or our hopes, joys, and fears. Someone who allows you a safe space to share your deepest thought and needs -- without worry of being judged, criticized or made to feel silly for feeling the way you do. Friends cheer each other on, laugh and cry together,and listen to each other...
