FRIENDS... How many of us REALLY have them?

I honestly have to say that the past 10 years have without a doubt been the roughest in my life.  Through break-ups, deaths in my family, deceptions, and other life changing disappointments, I've come to definitely know the meaning of "It's like a jungle sometimes..."

And chances are that by now I should be a Mr. Angry Man, if not for the fact that I've also been blessed to have Friends along the way.  I'm talking about the real ones.  The ones that accept you for your imperfections, and still remain the same.  And through support and inspirations, they have made the road along the way a trip worth taking.  So, I can't complain one bit. As a matter of fact, I don't complain.  What probably would have otherwise become a negative attitude of bitterness, has instead blossomed into expression of appreciation.  It has morphed into further inspiration.  And resulted in a mentality of pay it forwardness.

So in that, I'm a rich man!  A millionaire!  I bling!  A powerful human being!  On my wallet it reads, "BAD MUTHAFUKKA!"

THAT'S how powerful true friendship is.

With great power comes great responsibility. Now watch what powerful things I continue to do with what has been given to me!
