FRIENDS

There are different kinds of people who affect our lives in so many different ways. We have our family, which is a reflection of who we are, and there are colleagues, acquaintances and partners who make our lives quite a bit interesting. But there is a certain person or a group of people who can influence us in the most number of ways, and we call them “Friends”.



People say you can tell what kind of a person he/she is through his/her friends. Some can influence us in a good way but there were some who will take us in a wrong direction. Some can even be your best friend for life while some could become your worst enemy. There were instances where we even spend more time with them than our own family and there were moments we wished that they were our own family.

Some friendships even turn into romance while some just fade away through time. Good friends will be there while the friendship still last but real friends will be with you forever. They can even be your brother or sister for life and they’ll laugh with you and cry with you and be there for you when everyone seems to have left you behind. They will even get mad at you if you don’t let them be involved or at least tell them what your problems are.

I recently acquired a new friend and at the same time found a long lost one. Different in so many ways yet they manage to form a bond which no one would understand. Well there’s one thing that brings them together, a cup of coffee at any given time of any given day. Most friendships are formed in a very unusual way. They could have different backgrounds, different upbringings, and some with even different cultures and religion. But there are things that bind them together and share that passion and make it a lasting relationship which can survive the test of time.

This recently acquired new friend of mine is someone whom I’m beginning to admire. She doesn’t care what your background is; she doesn’t even care about your past. She just accepts who you are and what you tell her who you are. For her, it’s up to the person if he/she is sincere to her or not. As long as she knew that she accepted that person for what he/she was and it’s up to that person to show her what he/she really is. Very few people now are like that. Some would like to be close to you because you are popular, some because you are rich and some thinks because you are cool. It’s always what is projected outside by that person and not the inner qualities which matters most.

Life isn’t worth living if you don’t have friends. Whether they are good or bad, you still consider them as friends. Together you develop a sense of responsibility, the importance of loyalty, to trust and be trusted, and camaraderie. So let your friends know how much they mean to you. Remember, real friends won’t mistreat their real friends. So if you’re so-called friends doesn’t treat you well, tell them “Hell No! you’re not my friend.”
