Recommended: Social media and its effects on self - esteem

First and foremost: Thank you very much for the vote of confidence, and such a long and detailed response! Totally appreciated! WOW!!! You are truly a perceptive person! If your response was a grenade that was thrown a hundred yards away, I'd be sure to lose a limb or something... Right on!!! Friendly is a great way to start things! If you're anything like me, which you are, you place very high valence on the particular term, friend. I believe that it's the one thing that's greater than family because, you've carefully chosen those few special individuals to share in your life's journeys and experiences. I'm assuming that like me, you have many acquaintances as people seem to flock to you, but you are very cautious of those with whom you regard as a friend. In sum, friends can be considered as family, but not all family can be considered as friends. Just know that I am eternally playful and tend to be a prankster, so perhaps you prepare yourself for it! I'm down with verbal jabs, but may be a little rusty as most people are just too sensitive these days! …show more content…

Onto your revision to my ad! I must warn you however that my heart is quite heavy this day, so I will have a very morbid tone... You hit the nail on the head! I'm known to be quite a vain and urbane guy to those closest to me, and take great pride in my overall appearance, but at the same time, very humble and grounded. However, being an ugly duckling coming up, I still tend to suffer from it, and detest the access attention I get when I go out such as the loud chants and praises. I can't tell you how many times I've walked into a Walmart only to have the people stop and hover around me to ask verbose questions just to prolong conversations, or some old hag proposing to shack up while I'm in the checkout

  • Eulogy for Grandfather

    2048 Words  | 5 Pages

    One of my earliest memories of Grandpa begins with us driving to the Monmouth Park Racetrack. We sure did love to go to the track and root for Julie Krone or one of our other favorite jockeys. He loved challenges, and he especially loved the challenge of picking the ponies. He would read the race programs in the Asbury Park Press and usually pre-pick most of the day's favorite horses before ever leaving the house. Still, on arrival, we always bought the program and maybe a race sheet or two before entering the track grandstand. After picking up a couple of seats right around the finish line or maybe a little past it, back to figuring he'd go. As he went, grandpa would always point out the horses that had won recently or looked like they were due. "I have a feeling about this one" he'd say.

    I would define friendship as complete trust and love between two people. Many people believe that this kind of behavior is reciprocated between two individuals without any expectations.

    I hid my face as I sat desperately alone in the back of the crowded church and stared through blurry eyes at the stained glass windows. Tears of fear and anguish soaked my red cheeks. Attempting to listen to the hollow words spoken with heartfelt emotion, I glanced at his picture, and my eyes became fixed on his beloved dog. Sudden flashes of sacred memories overcame me. Memories of soccer, his unforgettable smile, and our frequent exchange of playful insults, set my mind spinning. I longed only to hear his delighted voice once more. I sat for what seemed like hours in that lonely yet overcrowded church; my tears still flowed, and I still remembered.

  • The Definition of Friendship

    672 Words  | 2 Pages

    My personal definition of "friendship" is a feeling or emotion expressed in such a way that another feels wanted and important, a relationship between a person or persons where everyone has some companion to talk to when their in need of one. I would define friends as people whom you can have several types of relations with and feel several emotions for that person. Someone that one might go to in time of need.

    A friend is someone difficult to find. A friend is someone you can always count on when times are tough. The dictionary's definition of a good friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. A good friend is there when you are struggling. For example, when a boy breaks your heart a good friend walks you through it and offers a shoulder to cry on. According to Bree Neff, a good friend is someone who is trustworthy, doesn't talk behind your back, listens to your problems, gives good advice and tries to lend humor along with his or her support.
