Seeking a True Pal

                                                     

I enjoy reading books, traveling across the nation, and writing essays and poems.

Religion is something I am very passionate about. I attended Harvard University to become a Unitarian minister. I definitely believe that there is a divine God and that all things on our earth are connected to him; however, I am also a strong believer in Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism is the balance of nature, spirituality and humanity. The Holy Trinity does not exist. There is a very power God, but I can’t speak to him. There is a soul within me, but it is my own, not the Holy Spirit. Jesus was a great man who lived on earth at one point in time, but he was nothing more than that. I don’t consider him to be my savior. I am not in need of a savior.

I am in search of a true, genuine friendship. I need a friend that is both sincere and honest. A person who is sincere has the ability to be their complete selves at any time and any place. I need a friend who doesn’t feel like they need to impress me; rather, they feel freedom to be real. I shouldn’t feel the need to impress them either. There are so many fake relationships that are consumed with hypocrisy. If a person acts one way in front of just me but another way with a group of people, I don’t want them. I am seeking a friend who is real all the time. They need to have confidence to let down all barriers. I want to be able to think out loud without feeling judged or ridiculed. A true friendship is revolved around love. I’m not searching for romantic love. I desire a brotherly love, an unconditional love that is there through the ups and the downs. I need a friend who loves me for who I am and not for what I have. True friendships are hard to come by, but I strongly believe they are real.

Throughout our lives, we connect with a wide variety of people. Some are only temporarily apart of us, while others last a lifetime. No matter the circumstance, a true friend by your side through thick and thin. If they leave you when times get tough, they are nothing but an association. You should never hate people, but if they aren’t there to support you, then you shouldn’t confide in them. True friendships are rare. They hold together like a strong cloth while being pulled or twisted. Friendships represent equality. No one person is better than another. We were all made for different reasons which should not be compared. There is no competition in friendship. I don’t want to alter my beliefs and personality to merely fit in with a group. I also wish that no one would ever feel like they need to do that for me. A real relationship requires acceptance. I want to feel accepted for who I am, not judged. There is a freedom in friendship. I want to be able to speak my mind and completely open up my heart without feeling discouraged. Personal thought is extremely important and should not be ignored by anyone. Friendship involves truly listening. A real friend listens to your problems and isn’t selfishly always trying to talk about themselves. When friendships are real, they are not glass threads of frostwork, but the solidest thing we know. They should not be taken lightly. A true friendship is powerful. However, they are hard to find. If anyone feels that they hold these friendly characteristics, please contact me. I’d love to meet up and get to know you. I am always open to new people and I believe that one can never have too many friends.
