Facebook Friends VS Real Friends

Realizing how many friends I really have out of all my “Friends”. A Facebook Friend is not a friend. A Friend is not someone who just comments on your rant or picture of your cat. A friend is not someone who just asks you send loot in Farmville or plays scrabble with you on your mobile phone.


A real friend calls you when you’re sick or when you’re sad, and they know what you’re sick or you’re sad because they called you the day before. A friend is someone you share memories with, not comments. A friend is someone who moves far away, but still scrimps and saves to visit you. Or a friend is someone who refuses to move too far away from you despite their plans or desires. A friend is someone who buys you a Christmas gift and gives it to you on Christmas, not someone who sends you an e-card. A friend is not a digital text but a face and a hug and tears and smiles and real laughter not LOL’s. A friend is someone that wants to stay your friend, even when you lose common interests or common geography or common ground.

A friend is someone you can chat with about movies, because you just saw it the night before on at the theater together, not because you both watched it alone on your Netflix miles apart. A friend is someone who asks how you are before telling you about themselves, not someone who posts their daily minutiae on your “wall”. A friend is someone who gives everything and asks for nothing. Not someone who only calls or emails when they want something from you. A friend is someone who’s happy to sit side by side with you and do nothing for hours just to hear talk.

A real friend is something you’re really lucky to have. A friend is someone you know with your heart, not your keyboard.

I’d rather have one real friend then a thousand digital “friends”. If you have real friends count yourself lucky and don’t lose them to your computer monitor
