"EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF."

If that quote is something people live by these days, I'm seriously concerned by the level of loyal in this society. It makes me question everyone, how do you look at the people you call your friends and trust them to be there for you. I'm not sure about you but when I begin to open my arms to people in my life, I make sure they're going to be willing to sacrifice as about as much as I put out for them.

When you put your life and time on the line for the so called "friends" you expect for them to protect you. I have one particular friend whom, I would put my life infront of a truck to save. Foolish you may think, but I believe that she and I did not just become friends by choice but because our paths crossed by fate. Again, judge me for being having my head up in the sky for believing in such abstract concepts but you spend days questioning what this world has become and then you realise here is one of the reasons why this planet has become such a horrible place to live. It also shows that you can be in a sea of people and be drowning in stupidity and still be feeling completely alone.

My peculiar friend J.

Five things you should know about J:

• He's always bored, and I'm talking about like annoyingly bored. 
• He's somewhat pessimistic about life.
• He's lost and stoned almost all the time.
• He gets hungry easily
• And is not really patient. 

However, J is well known for his big heart and caring personality. J is the kind of guy who will pick up your phone call in the early hours of the morning to listen to you ramble about life and heart breaks. He's a big softie under that tough exterior and he really knows what car he wants. (Haha, please don't kill me)

J and I have a strange friendship. He finds me particularly intelligent and knows not to argue with me because I'm "different." Although I'm not quite sure what he means by that but he always told me before I met RC guy, that there would always be someone for me because no one would let a person like me go unless they were incredibly stupid. He was right. 

J was recently in a relationship with a girl that he said he was in a break with and I particularly don't believe in 'breaks' in a relationship so I never approved. Although in our very short term friendship that is developing, I could not judge.  J seems to hide his heart breaks a lot, it's never really a good thing. I know a friend would intervene but I don't believe in forcing people to reveal themselves. If they are comfortable, they will eventually tell you.

RC guy and I really care about J, although sometimes that sensitive heart of his becomes fraile, we always try to cheer him up and be there for him. J becomes so lost in his world, sometimes he blanks out when we are with him but I know deep down that he's probably in our world somewhere discovering something or somebody new.

It was funny the way J and I met. Now, it's not some story that's worth even telling to be honest. It's way too modern day style to even be called meeting. J added me on Facebook. Goodness. Surprisingly, we became quite close over the time. I particularly enjoy spending time with him, he kind of just brings a stranger sense of humour in my life and although sometimes he reminds me of this other friend, I can still manage to find tolerance to put up with him.

If J ever finds the time to become more patient and have a sweeter outlook on life, I really think he could go further and meet the odds. Maybe someday, I could write something more about him and how he's grown into a young man who's found someone to be particularly fond of and I'll be at his wedding, wiping away a tear and thinking "Wow, J's lady is a very very lucky girl." Not that no one is already lucky enough to encounter this boy. Who knows right?
