Got Me Thinking...

Last week, my English teacher was talking about the topic of abstract terms. How each of us have a different meaning of these words like love, courage, fear, etc. When we stumbled upon the definition of friendship, he told us his own definition of friendship. One statement that stood out from the rest was "someone you admire." That got me thinking. I started thinking of my friends on the top of my head and every one of them had a trait that I admired...except for one.

For many years, I always wondered why I was friends with this person. When I asked her a personal question she would often shrug or say "I don't know." I actually don't really know much about her. What subjects she is good at, what she wants to be, or what her parents do for a living. I guess she has a hard time telling people about her personal life, but seriously. Every time is not a clear answer. I don't admire you not because you're a bad person but you're not a good friend. Friends share their personal thoughts, stories but you clearly don't.
