Hi soulman. I would put it this way; life is hard.. people's judgements and expectations, work gets grueling, traffic, the price of everything... it's a rat race and can really wear us down. True friends, good friends show us mercy, consideration, a genuine concern and respect we can't find anywhere else. I like to be the kind of friend who is like a breath of fresh air when I walk in the room... a break from all the demands and pretense. My friends are who I relax with and can be myself, and vice versa.
