how do I know I am with a friend?

I feel safe, don't have to worry I will be blindsided, and I can joke around freely," free associate" without being diagnosed, opt for solitude without being judged, not be told how to live, blatently or subtly, not be under estimated my friend and I take the time to find out what we share

I don't need to feel better than a friend we are equal, in the spirit, where it counts

To be good friend you have to be both serious and lighthearted and "bonkers". when you find a like person they can laugh with you, make you laugh, pray with you, and cry with you. Sometimes even all in one day
