This is article is not written to anyone specifically just something I was pondering on the other day…
So what is a friend really?
I think it is a person who you hang with, you discuss problems with back and forth, someone who you have things in common with.
Here’s what Websters says:

Or is that person just a soundboard?
I think a soundboard is just a person who you can vent to. This person is not really a friend just someone to complain to. This person may or may not have something in common with you.
So what are you???
