It used to be anything goes as far as friends go. I didn’t really care about how they were, if they were punctual, if they kept to their word, or even if they were there during hard times, it was all water off a duck’s back as far as I was concerned.
Then I got older and those things that didn’t matter before mattered and the friendship circle grew smaller and those that didn’t fit my concept of what a good friend was fell to the wayside and I was left with a smaller circle of friends, those that I can count on.
My idea of a good friend is someone who is there through the good and bad times AND also during the in between times as well. I expect honesty from friends as well and standing by your word is a must if you want to be my friend. Is that asking too much? I don’t think so.
The answer to this question is that my concept of a good friend has definitely changed through the years and for the better I might add.
Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?
