Friendship

“When twilight drops her curtain down and pins it with a star, remember that you have a friend though she may wander far”- L.M.Montgomery

Last year I received a call from my childhood friend whom I had lost contact with. It was so nice to catch up on his life and share my experiences with him. We don’t live close to each other so going for a movie or going for swim isn’t an option .All of us have a friend or friends and we all want our friendship to be strong, but for the bond to be strong, we have to take time and nurture it. For some people it is very easy to make friends, while some take time to open up to someone else. Just like when you peel an onion you see a new layer and with each layer you discover something new about your friend. Friendship is mostly based on trust, loyalty, common characteristics and common situations. Well my friendship with my childhood friend must be very strong since we remembered quite a lot from childhood, laughed over private jokes, if our phone had been tapped I’m sure those jokes would sound ridiculous. We never need to be or feel alone in this world, but it’s up to us to create opportunities that will allow the relationships to be stronger. It is up to all of us to make relationships priorities. In today’s modern world everyone is either on the mobile having a business call or they have no time to catch up with friends, but I’m sure we all can make time in the 24 hours to catch up with an old friend. They might be far away but they will never forget you, no matter what. What will help you be a good friend, is being yourself. Your friend loves you for who you are and if he or she doesn’t, well that’s not friendship, at least not in my dictionary. Being yourself is not enough you have to be honest, loyal, forgiving, helpful, etc. Well if I try to put down all the points of friendship I’m pretty sure the post won’t end, and friendship is something that never ends, it lasts forever and ever and well you know how it goes. So my advice to you make time for your friend, even a minute is enough for the bond to remain strong.
