Friend/s, where art thou?

Some friends are really just acquittances. Are they really friends? My expectations of a "friend":

  • Say hello even if there is nothing else to say
  • Lets you know that you are not forgotten
  • Provide an ear to listen
  • Does not presume they know
  • Even if they know, they will still hear you out
  • Not judgmental
  • Sympathetic to you whichever way
  • Gives no advice unless asked for
  • Advise only if absolutely necessary
  • Boost your morale before you feel down
  • Boost your morale when you are down
  • Finds the good bit in your picture even if the picture really sucks
  • Thanks you for the smallest of things, even if there really was nothing to thank for
  • Appreciates you for who you are, not who you should be
  • Reminds you constantly that you are a friend indeed

There's more but that is all i feel like rambling for now.
Just feeling pathetic.
