Friend

The definition of a true friend is one who will tell you what you need to be told in any given situation. They will not sugar-coat the issue to protect feelings, nor will they put a bandaid on the issue for a temporary fix. No, a true friend will tell you exactly what the problem is, exactly how to permanently fix it, and then if yall have made it this far into the conversation without you blowing up because you were faced with the truth; a true friend will then take you by the hand and tell you that they are there with you until the end, to fight the fight, to get you through the current storm at hand. Even if you choose to not listen to a single word they say and you storm off angry. That true friend will give you your space, time to think things over, and will still be willing to discuss the situation with you, when you are ready.

My friend Ananda never hesitates to call me out on something when she knows that I am wrong.
