I am a very spiritual person and am part of the transcendentalist movement. I would need a friend that had the same beliefs that I have, they must hold nature very close to their hearts, and believe in one omnipresent God. They would also need to believe very strongly in the power of choice, that everyone’s opinions are valid and that they should not change to meet the status quo. They must also believe in creative visualization and that they must be somewhat of spiritual people.

I want a friend that is not afraid to be who they are no matter what people might think of them. He would like a friend that is able to think for their own selves and not alter their own opinion after they hear the opinions of others. I also feel very strongly that friendship is a precious and rare thing, I would like my friend to feel the same thing, and I would want them to cherish the friendship that we share with each other. I would also like a friend that would be someone who would not judge me or my thoughts that I share with this friend. I would also want someone that has the same beliefs as me, but also someone who would be able to better myself as a person. I would want a friend that was not afraid to go after what they wanted in life, someone who was not scared off by obstacles. Also I would want someone that was not afraid to challenge society and go against the grain, against the normal. Finally, I would want a friend that was not an imitation of someone or something else, someone that was truly their selves one hundred percent of the time. 

Friendship is a precious thing. True friendship is hard to find, but when it is found it is something to be cherished, and never taken for granted. I think that friendship is something that does not need to provide material benefits or any kind of gain from it. It in its basic form is a simple bond between two people that share similar views on some things. Friendship should be effortless and non judgmental. Every man when by himself has the greatest of intention, but when placed with other men, some how their intentions get altered. I think that true friendship is what everyone wants, but few can actually ever achieve. People first have to learn how to be a friend if they are ever going to want or have a friend. Friendship should first and foremost non judging. When with a friend one should never be afraid to speak their mind, a friend should be that person that you can share anything with and not be judged for it. When with that friend it should be a safe spot where anything can be shared, no matter what it is, an opinion, a secret, anything. Friendship should also be something that people never want to loose. They should keep it so close to their heart that it is like a part of them, a part that they can not imagine living without. It should be something that is not put on the back burner or not taken care of for a while; it should always be a priority. Lastly friendship should be something that makes people better, it should be something that helps both friends become better people, helping people learn about each other as well as themselves.
