To Be or Not To Be: What makes a friend worth keeping?
This post is mainly for women. Men can respond if they like. Sistas, what makes a friend worth keeping? Is it her listening ear? Her chatterbox motor mouth? Her smile, her style? What do you like most about your best "girlfriends"? For me, its her overall character. My closest friends are ambitious, kind hearted, helpful, passionate, goal oriented, fun to be around, have positive energy, and the resilience to bounce back from life's blows and occasional storms. Whether single, involved, or married we all respect eachother's individuality and show support in tough times. Quite frankly, none of us need negative weight holding us down. You know, the naysayers that never believe anything is possible....The dramaqueen, that always has a story to tell usually with a negative, draining effect...I've cut off ties with these kind. LOL. To Be or Not to Be? That is the question.
I personally like to be friends with positive people regardless to what their background or education is. I can't take too much negativity as it is such a drag for me. I like people who like to laugh and have some good clean fun.
