To me loyalty is everything because with loyalty comes soooo much more. Honesty, trust, faith, friendship, consistency, love etc. If I try to be one thing to my friends it’s loyal. I want them to be able to count on me for anything and everything. If I tell someone I will be somewhere, I am there.

So many people are so flaky and so unreliable and I don’t get it. They rather ignore their own friends out of pure laziness. I remember I had a friend get in a fight with a boyfriend one night, she said she called 4 friends and I was the only one who answered. Sure it’s annoying to deal with when I am sleeping, but it’s more important to me to be there for her than to sleep.

Why don’t more people take pride in being a good friend?  I now realize I can’t expect this from everyone, loyalty isn’t something everyone takes pride in giving. I never want to be the person who only gives to people who give to me, but eventually after giving so much and always being let down you kinda get over being so loyal and forgiving of the constant disappointments.

Moral of the story is, try being more of a loyal person. If you make plans, keep them. If someone calls you, call them back, EVEN if it means you are not interested in what they are calling about. Nothing is ruder than just ignoring someone. I reply to people I am not interested in all the time. You don’t have to be interested but be polite and honest. If you have a choice between a friend and a guy, don’t always pick the guy. Make time for the people who make time for you. Be true to your friends, keep your word, and mean what you say

Maybe this is why I love dogs more than people, they are so reliable, full of love, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for most people to live up to. Luckily I have a handful of awesome, loyal friends.
