I Am Loyal to My Friends

Loyalty is a dying quality these days. Have people forgotten, or ever known, how to be loyal? There comes a time to cut someone loose if they derail us with negative energy, lies, selfishness, or we are being used, or have diverged down such different paths we no longer connect. Beyond that, what makes it so hard? In large part, people just seem to disappear; is it so hard to remain by a friend's side?

Sometimes people are so focused on what they want from someone else they forget the altruistic nature of friendship. Not everything is about what *I* can gain from someone. It's also about what we can give. Loyalty is dying. It isn't always easy. Sometimes there are even obstacles to overcome to remain loyal. It is worth it if you find a rare connection.

My true friends are treasured and will last a long time. If only more were loyal out there.
