Best friends don't judge.
No. They never do.
They are honest. Blatantly so. And blunt. Even harsh, at times, too.
When others leave, they stay. When others close their ears, they listen. When others defend and reject, they spread their hands and welcome you back.
Best friends support you like strong legs to a table. Best friends hold you firm like a tree to its branches. They catch you when you fall, they don't throw you down. They share your joy, not take it away. They help you release your pain, they won't let it stay.
They may be partial, they may be clueless, they may not even understand what the bloody hell you are going through. Not that you, or anybody else for that matter, should expect them to. That would be asking too much.
But despite all your shortcomings, and bitterness, and countless bouts of absolute negativity, they're still there for you. They linger, against all odds. They still care. And they keep nothing to themselves. Not even the most painful, the most heartless of truths.
They may be wrong. They may be right.
But they should never judge you for who you are, or what you are not, and what you have and have not done in your life.
Best friends don't judge.
Heck. I know I don't.
So, tell me now.
What exactly are you...?

i agree with your statement that our friend should never judge us for who we are, or what we are not, and what we have and have not done in our life.....
i've experienced the same thing....
umm, i hate to say this...
Many people around me are not my friend because they judge my choice...
And you know…..
The best part from this case is I don’t care…..
If they judge me, they're no longer my (best) friend. They're just acquaintance(s).
Other people may judge all they want, but best friends,shouldn't. Because they know you better than other people.
Oh and by the way, I don't think it's your loss,J.
It's theirs.
Chin up !
:)
This is beautiful. :')
