True Friends Stay Together

Have you ever wondered how lucky you are to have someone as a friend who’s always by your side through the ups and downs in your life? Or have you ever just randomly thought, if it weren’t for his/her presence in your life, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy your life as it is now? 

 

If you did, congratulations, because you’ve found yourself a true friend! 

 

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a friend is a person who you know well and who you like a lot, but usually not a member of your family. They are the people you’re willing to spend lots of time with, because you’ve formed a bond or connection with them. Though the definition sounds simple, in reality, it’s quite the opposite. 

 

A relationship maintained between two or more friends is called a friendship. Making the first approach to a friendship can be quite daunting at times, but as long as you have the right amount of confidence with the right attitude, you’ll be able to do it! 

 

It is important to cherish friendships. A great way of cherishing friendships is by finding ways to let your friends know that they are cared for. Here are a few tips on how to cherish friendships: 

 

1.     Always be there for support. 

Hardships are inevitable in life. When this happens, the best thing you can do to your friend is to give them your encouragement and support. Let them know that you are there for them, even when things get tough. 

 

2.     Meet up frequently. 

Friendships take time to develop. In order to get to know your friends more personally, spending more time with them is the best way to do it. This way, you can strengthen your friendship bond and get more intimate with your friends. 

 

3.     Be honest. 

The key to having a long-lasting friendship is to have good communication between you and your friends. When it comes to friendships, the roads can get a little rocky at times. Misunderstandings are usually the common cause. Don’t let it break your friendship! Instead, talk things out nicely and settle the problem on good terms. 

 

Always keep in mind that good friendships are gifts because they make life better and make you happier. Cherish your good friendships and let your friends know that you care about them!
