Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Sometimes we love people with everything that we have...and we just don't understand why the people we love don't love us as much as we love them. Love someone else, and they'll love you too, right? But just because you love someone with all that you have, and all that you are doesn't mean that they will do the same in turn to you. You can make the perfect gift for any occasion, be there and support them in any endeavor, and basically be the best friend you could ever be to them, and you're left feeling alone and casted aside. This is a good quote, "Isn't it ironic that we ignore the people that adore us, adore the people that ignore us, love the people who hurt us, and hurt the people who love us.", because it's so true. We never know what we truly have until the people that have loved us for so long for no reason finally give up. Because it sucks being the one to always think of others, being there for them no matter what, giving the perfect present, and just being the 'dependable' friend that they can always count on. For once, it'd be nice to have someone to think of you as often as you think of them. To have someone to write you a letter telling you how much you mean to them, just because. Being able to have someone in your life to be YOUR dependable friend instead of always being everyone else's dependable friend. 

But sometimes, we have to do some self-reflection and some critical thinking about the people around us. Maybe, sometimes you're not always that dependable friend. You're human, and you fail at certain things too. So you can't always be so self-righteous and assume you've done no wrong when a friendship begins to fall apart. And when you feel like your friend doesn't care anymore, and that they're just using you...remember that they may be loving you with all of their heart. Maybe they're the dependable friend for others, just like you are the dependable friend for them. People can't be the dependable friend to everybody as you know, and sometimes they're the dependable friend to the person that ignores them and hurts them the most because they're trying to earn their love and they don't focus so much on their friendship with you because they know they already have your love. So don't judge your friend that is hurting you, because more often than not you're doing the same thing to someone else. 

Friends are some of the greatest blessings in life, and if you can find one good friend you've been blessed beyond imagination. Good friends are hard to find, so once you find that friend don't screw it up because "friendships are different from all other relationships. Unlike acquaintanceship, friendship is based on love. Unlike lovers and married couples, it is free of jealousy. Unlike children and parents, it know neither criticism nor resentment. Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on contract. So is marriage. Parents are bound by law. But friendships are freely entered into, freely given, and freely exercised."- Stephen Ambrose. So don't worry about not being their entire life...you're their favorite part :)
