It's very hard to find real, true friends in this world today. A friend is somebody that you can trust to share your thoughts and feelings with; and who will always have your back no matter what. When I was younger I thought that once you found a friend you would be friends with that person forever, but that was in no way the truth.
Growing up in Jamaican I had a lot of friends. When I was young things seemed to be very different to me. I thought that everybody was friendly and lived in peace and harmony. I played with all the other kids in school and we were like a whole big family. Everybody was friendly and shared with each other; there were no fights or arguments.
As I got older my views on friendship changed. Not everybody you talk to can be considered to be a friend, some of them are only acquaintances. I also learned that there are some people that will pretend to be your friend and will be the same person talking about you as soon as your back is turned. Choosing a friend can be one of the hardest tasks; I actually think of it now as a risk. It's a risk telling them your secrets, thoughts and feelings in hopes that they will keep it to themselves.
Time goes by, and so do people and friends. People move from their original city or country leaving dear friends behind. When someone moves it's just like starting your life all over again, therefore you try to find new friends. It's a bit hard to keep friends when they live thousands of miles away. The distance makes you automatically drift apart. I say this from experience, because when I moved to Stamford from Jamaica it was one of the hardest things I had to do in my life. I started to wonder, "What am I going to do?" I had nobody to talk to now and tell about my problems. There is always the telephone but it's expensive to buy phone cards everyday to call long distance. The whole environment was something new to me, but I decided to make the best of it.
