Question: If you're friends with someone but don't always get along with them because something may have happened, do you try to be a better friend or give up on that friendship?
Answer: You should always be a good friend, but if the other person has given up, not much you can do about it.
Now, I would like to give a shoutout to my good friends.
Jesus- You are always there for me, day or night, and I literally wouldn't be alive without You. You mean so much to me and I love You so much.
Eric- Dude, you're awesome. You can always make me laugh even when I feel like crying. You're always supportive of me and I'm very thankful for that. Without you, the world would be a very boring and generally sad place.
Amanda- You're pretty much amazing. No, you are amazing. I'm so thankful to be your friend. Without you, I'd have nothing to do most of the time. I love you!
Erica- You're awesome, too. Even thought it freaks me out when you say something out loud that I'm thinking, you're still pretty awesome. Without you, Saturday would be the worst day of the week. Love ya!
''I'm only me, who I wanna be, when I'm with you.''

Excuse Me As I Step Onto This Soapbox
When we see someone in a fault, why do we start judging them?
''But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why doest thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.''- Romans 14:10
We're no better. We had to be saved from sin, too. Because of our sin, we have no right to judge others for their sins.
''Brethren, if a man be over-taken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.''-Galatians 6:1.
The purpose of the church is to bring people to Christ and edify them in the Lord, not tear them down. If you are or weren't saved, would you really want the life of someone who constantly judges people? We're a light to the world, but we keep putting the bush of judgmental ism over our lights.
''I therefore, the prisoner of the LORD, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.''- Ephesians 4:1-3
And I'm not saying all this to get on to the judgmental, I'm saying this because this a problem in Christianity today. We're not following Christ's example when we judge people. God alone is worthy to judge.
