This is a true friend, it is so sweet.

"Some people come in and out of your life but only true friends leave footprints in your heart." Some people forget that everyone has feelings and that everyone needs someone sometime. Your story makes me think of my best friend C.J., he is always there for me and sometimes that is all you need is to feel that someone is there for you. I'm so thankful for my best friend!

Wow, I was so touch and moved by this story. There are many people out there that are so caught up in themselves that they don't even bother to acknowledge someone else's feelings. I have had many bad days in my life so I understand those feelings.

Oh my goodness that makes me think about the class clown at my school and I never thought of it like that!

This is a very inspiring story. Deeper reflection on it reveals that there is someone who understands us better than ourselves. Not even our parents or best friends would match this person...All the best

The one thing that I found that people need is to be heard. Listening is a good way to realize that someone cares for us. Henceforth we don't have to worry for we have a true friend that will love and care for us and never forsake us.

I was bought to tears with your story. I too was the clown that everyone loved but did not understand. I have been lucky in life with wonderful friends and family.

Something terrible happened to me a few days ago, I lost a dear one in road traffic accident. Ever since I can't cry though I want to. Everybody thinks am strong but I wish someone could make me cry...

Your story is so heart touching and I picture myself in your shoes. I have been having one of those blue days since yesterday and would love to have a shoulder to cry on this very moment.

I feel like you were inside me when writing this poem. At least I have come to realise the importance of having friends. And I think you are close to many people through your work. Continue touching the many hearts in need of a friend. Chao!

I too have been the clown all my life and it is true people forget that we too have feelings. I don't let people see who I am really am, just the funny lady that makes people laugh. The story touched my heart.

I really like your story because I am going through a challenging time too and it's such a weight lifter to have a friend hold my hand through it all.
Posted about 5 years ago by Lucia O from Ogun State, nigeria

Everybody on this earth needs a person they can talk to and express their feelings to, and it truly is a good feeling when someone cares for you. This story has reminded me that the people of whom I take for granted are the people who really care for me. I was blinded by friends who only took advantage of me and I abandoned those who truly loved me. Thank you for opening my eyes.

well, thanks you've inspired me to hang on and be true to myself...and never hide my true feelings...because I too...used to entertain my friends with good humor...and still now i wonder if they understand my feelings...

I am in tears myself. It's a heart touching story.
Posted about 5 years ago by shreya t from india

That's a really good story! At some point in life we all come to a situation where you feel like nobody cares at all but in the end a friend who seeems to care comes our way.
Posted about 5 years ago by Cheche G from Nairobi

The best thing I found was people need to be heard. Just listening to someone helps that person because they're really wanting to feel like someone cares.

Friends are like jewels, someone who is always there for you through thick and thin...and yet many people don't realize the value of it. We all need that jewel of a person in our lives...not many people understand what they are missing on...the meaning of friends and its importance...thanks for sharing such a touching story, we all need reminders once in a while the importance of a caring friend.

I'm also a class clown myself. I used to enjoy it, but then I realized that when I continue to allow them to make fun of me they will lose respect. I stood on my own and I stopped being a funny for a while and I let them realize that I also have feelings.

We are all busy, and have our own troubles, challenges and lives to contend with. But, we definitely could all stand to be a little more empathetic toward one another. Sometimes even a little smile, or comment, a hug, shoulder to cry on, or a listening ear is all it takes.

I will try to pay more attention to that too.
Thanks for the story and the reminder.
