Classification and Division

Compassion, trust, and love are few of the general attributes I believe a person should have to be a friend. I like to believe that the people in my life will forever have a place in it; however that has not always been the case. In the two short years I have been in high school, I can say I have a vast amount of acquaintances, yet only a few people are worth calling my friends. As life changes so do the people you may have in it. Everyone is unique in their own way and therefore may have different types of relationships with any number of people. First, we are all separated by appearances and then by personality. The people I have allowed to be involved in my life are all different; yet somehow they seem to have a lot of similarities.

I wish I could maintain all the friends I currently have, but I realize and understand that the possibility is slight. We live and we learn. We grow in and out of friendships in accordance to our life’s expectancies and changes. Friends briefly touch your heart and some will stay longer than others. Personality and its uniqueness is everything, because no one wants several of the same friendships, all doing the same thing. With the friendships I have obtained, as long as they respect your beliefs, share the same interest in being your friend, and place all their trust in you; there’s a good friendship just waiting to happen.
