What is friendship in general? It's about being there. Making your presence felt to your friend. Extending not only your hand but also your heart. It's about being sensitive and feeling for your friend; understanding what he/she is going through. It's not judging whether he/she makes the right decision or not. It's the support you give that's important, standing by their side regardless of the choice they make. It's "being there during the good times and the bad" (Girlfriend Nov. 2002), and not only during the blissful moments. At troubled times, it is "listening to your friend and offering some advices" (Girlfriend Nov. 2002). At times of their triumph and success, it is being happy for them sincerely! At times of sadness, it is having shoulders soggy from their tears, not reprimanding her because you told her to do this or that. It is basically letting your friends feel that you"re just behind them no matter what they've gotten themselves into.
