FRIENDSHIP

Recently I started having a true feeling of what a good friend is so I began compiling my thoughts. But believe me there is no best way to write this without experience. Most of the thoughts are as a result of personal experiences. And I hope I have a few minutes of your time to read this. But before I proceed can I ask you to pause and ask yourself this question, do I really deserve a friend? And what is FRIENDSHIP?

I want to start by saying that a friendship with God is the best friendship to have. Friends are like rainbows, they brighten up your life once you’ve been through a storm. Though every friendship have their ups and downs, but only true friendships know how to make it through. When you are up, your friends know who you are. When you’re down, you know who your friends are. And behind every heart, there is a best friend guarding it in case it breaks. Being a good friend doesn’t mean lying to avoid hurt feelings. My best friends have gone from laughter to memories. My best friends have gone from friends to family. Friends make the bad times good and the good times unforgettable. Friends cry with you when you are crying. But your best friends already have a shovel to bury the loser that made you cry.

Earnestly, a friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are. And I have always compare friendship to a book, it takes a few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write. Friends are like blood, you do not get to see them all always, but they come out when you’re wounded. A true friend sees the first tear, catches the second, and stops the third. Friends tell you to be strong, true friends face it together with you. You can never truly get rid of your best friend, because they are in all your best memories.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when they would rather be someplace else. You have to be thankful for ugly moments because that’s when the beautiful people called real friends show up. When true friends fight, it’s not about who wins, loses. It’s about who forgives, forgets and still wants to be friends. A friend can tell you things you don’t want to tell yourself. Being a friend is being faithful without expecting anything in return. A friend sees your real smile and your real hurt. I feel sometimes having a friendship is a better option than having a relationship. The expectations are different tho.

No matter how strong or independent you are, you always need friends. They bring happiness to you. Real friends are not those who make you feel happy, but those who make you feel comfortable. Anyone can stand by you when you are right, but a true friend will stick by you, even when you are wrong. Friends don’t let friends bully. Make a stand and be someone’s friend. Shalom!!!
