Do you have room for one friend?

Do you have room for one friend?

It's a necessary question in todays time. Everyone is so full of their own world they've created. It must be so comfortable. However, there's always that one person whom you neglect. One person that gets the short end of the stick. Do you even know who that person is? Do you know his or her name? Are you aware that person even exists? This person is well-mannered, has respect for everything and is genuinely kind. Is this person not worthy of your time? Do you spare five minutes? It's too easy to say you don't have time. But if you never take time how can you ever have time? Maybe this person invited you to a nice sunday lunch or perhaps a quiet afternoon at the park. Perhaps he or she wanted to see a movie with you. This type of friend opened the doors of their place to you but is still neglected and disrespected. Yet you have the audacity to call this person, "friend." Maybe you should read the definition of that word. It takes a friend to be a friend. Not only is friend but a word, what matters the most about this particular word is the connection the word implies. Just like love. When you say you love someone, the word itself means nothing. But the connection and meaning behind the word is the true power of that said emotion. Some people say there are different levels and types of friends. That just might be true. I still envision that when someone says friend, they mean that this is someone they care for, respect and trust. If you have a friend of the opposite sex this could potentially lead down to the path of companionship, i.e. boyfriend/girlfriend. Now, this is not always the case but it is possible. So, the person you have excluded is probably one if the best people you should have in your life. Who wouldn't want a positive force in their life? Perhaps some people just have to grow up. Maybe they're just not ready yet. The sad part is some of you already have made up minds and will continue filling your world with poison to the point where your beacon of light will be nothing more than a flicker of a flame. You don't have to ask what sparked this. You only need to know that still now, even today, there is at least one person who is looking for room. You may even call this person a friend. Hopefully you decide to examine your life and the choices you've made. It's time to let in the positive energy and let go of the negative influence. Just ask yourself one question; do you have room for one friend?
