"Friends are God's way of taking care of us" - Unknown Author.
God designed us to have close relationships with others and with Him. Cherish true friendships. You can be yourself with a true friend. There should be mutual respect and honesty in your relationship, where you can count on your true friend being there for you - a text, an email, or a phone call away.
We all have our homies. A lot gets talked about friendships. Everyone wants a true friend to someone, and many of us believe that we have a friend who can be called a true homies. What kind of relations do friends share? When can we call a friend a true friend, and when can our friends take us as their true friend. After a romantic relationship, friendships are the most important relationships we can have. Though all of us have family and distant family, most of us rely on friends for advice, comfort and inspiration. How do we define a relation that can be called as one of true friendship?
The very first sign of a very good friend, not necessarily a true friend is that we are not worried about courtesies.(Actually I'm still struggling with this) You will call your friend at any hour and talk without any thought of time in your mind. Similarly, whenever you need support, you will call a very good friend and ask him/her to help you out. They expect the same from you. Another important trait of such relations is that we are not much worried about exposing ourselves. We speak about everything in our mind without worrying about what our friends will think. We are sure that they will take our talk in the spirit it was made. We are unguarded and open with friends in our talk. (The truth is I kept loads of things to myself and be there for other people but when it comes to my own, I closed all the doors until it settles by itself.)
When it comes to close friends, I'm trying to be the best for others, I will go all out but when it comes to allowing others to be my best, I tend to shut down everything, worried it might burden anyone. Weird right?
