Friendship is Freedom

*The following is an excerpt from a personal journal written Sept 19, 2001*

Oscar Wilde once said: "A true friend stabs you in the front". This is a very true statement, after all, if the people we know, and love, and (hopefully) respect won't tell us to our faces when we do or say monumentally stupid things, then when do we know? Probably never.

Everyone says "Friends come and go". I say "Friends come and set you free".

After all, there's a great degree of freedom in friendship; here are the ones with whom you can communicate, who will tell you when you screw it up, and will not abandon you. Ever.

Liberating, isn't it?
