Friends and Faults

Friends are supposed to accept and love you despite your faults. But can a friend truly still love you if she doesn't know your imperfections? If she doesn't know your flaws then that means she hasn't hung out with you enough or doesn't know you well enough. A true friend should know you inside out, both the good and the bad. A friend doesn't judge based on those faults but embraces them.

Nobody is perfect, which means everyone has bad sides. Usually, you don't know what someone lacks until you get to know them a little. How can someone accept you when she doesn't even fully know you? If she only accept the good aspects, then isn't she just using you? A friend is someone who knows all of what you have and lack and still loves you. Some things might bug her or she might not care at all. But what's so important about that? In the end, all that she really knows is that she loves hanging out with you, whether other people like you or not.

If someone asks me, "What is your friend like?" I should be able to respond with all her good and bad aspects, "Although she is like this, you have no idea how much fun it is to just be around her because she is this, that, some more of this and a little more of that." When someone that hates her tells me, "Did you know that bitch is this and that?" I should be able to say, "Hell yeah, I know what you know. Too bad you don't know what I know. Now apologize for saying shit about her when you don't even really know anything, you bitch."

It's okay when I hear people say to me, "I don't know anything bad about you." But I would be really upset, sad and lost if I heard my friends say the same thing. True friends know but don't judge because knowing and judging are two entirely different matters.

Love is when two people know everything about each other and are still friends.
