TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Friendship True Friendship is important in life. Wondering why I felt the need to add the 'true' before friendship?How do I know whether my friend is a true friend or not? Read on!! 

{NOTE: I am not criticizing anyone.}

1) A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED!

A  true friend always stays by your side . He/She not only shares your happiness but also your sadness. When happiness is shared among good friends, it increases; when sadness is shared, it decreases. Most people normally stay with you when you have everything, but the people who'll not leave you even when you have nothing, that person, is a true friend! In fact, they'll not only provide a supporting shoulder to you but they'll do everything they are capable of to help. Such friends might not need to know you for a long time, but when they say "I will always stay by you till the end of time." and prove it, they are your real friends!

2) THEY WILL MAKE TIME TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU.

True friends won't spend time with you in their free time only. They'll make time to spend it with you. Such friends think that you are a priority, not just an option. Your true friends won't make excuses to get away from you. They won't bear you, they'll enjoy with you. Sometimes, spending quality time with your friends is the only therapy you need.....

3) THEY WILL HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS.

Real friends will provide a helping hand for you to accomplish your ambitions, not distract you from them. They'll aid you where you need help and will help you to become the best version of yourself. When you are distracted or go astray from your ambitions, they'll get you back on track. Such friends will motivate you to strive for excellence in life and aren't jealous of you when you become better at things than them;in fact, they'll feel prouder.

4) THEY WILL ALWAYS BE HONEST WITH YOU

True friends will always tell you the truth, even if you don't like it, may it be a mistake they did, or something which you did. They will give you honest advice about things and will not compliment you for everything, but only for those which you deserve. Sometimes, it isn't compliments we need, but the truth. When you aren't what you need to be, or when you don't do things good enough as you need it to, they will convey it to you in the right way and truthfully. And when they lied to you before or did something they weren't supposed to, they'll feel responsible to tell you the truth. If they confess their mistake to you honestly, forgive them. 

Friendship is one of the most important relationships in life, you can't live without it. They'll not let you do crazy things alone, they'll do them with you.We all need that someone who gets you like no one else, right when you need it the most. We all need a soul to rely on, a shoulder to cry on, a friend through the highs and the lows.(This is from the lyrics of a song, guess it the comments.😉) 

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by doubling our joy and dividing our grief.            - Marcus Tullius Cicero.
