Friends kick butt

 

I have had my worst fights
with my best friends

or perhaps my best fights
if they are still friends

if we have never fought,
its not kicking we are doing
to each other’s butts

if we have never fought
can I trust your truth?

A lot said in so few words. Only a true friend will be honest , only a true friend will be there no matter what. A true friend will not only tell you when you are right but come down harder than anyone else when you are wrong and still leave that friendship in tact Chrystalie

We've been through the scuffles quite a bit, but you're still my friend. :~) ~Jess K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer!" ~ "Your inferiority complex is better than mine!"

mais oui, ma chere

I can be a right SOB, but I can take it as well as dish it out, and I'm usually coming from a caring place, even if it doesn't sound like it! cheers, Jess

Diametrically apposed

But hey, that's the world. If we were the same it would be downright dull huh? *L* Good one Jess. No doubt we'll lock up again There is an old saying, but I can't remember where it came from. "You want to keep your friends close and your enemies closer". The main thing is be true to yourself.

Love this. My best friends

Love this. My best friends are the ones who I argue and bicker and scream at and trust to throw things at me when I'm being monumentally stupid. The writing is pointed and doesn't waste words. Really love this.
