Thoughts on friendship

Friendship is about being real with the one you call friend; it’s about being who you truly are(being vulnerable) without the fear of being rejected or hated and with the assurance that you are always accepted and welcome with the one you call friend. Friendship is knowing that no matter how crude, ill-mannered or bad you are and act, you are still and will always be accepted ; yes you’ll be corrected but you’ll never be condemned or destructively criticized by your friend.

With others, you can wear a mask and put on a fake smile but you can never do so with your friend- even when you try it, you’ll be caught because your friend knows you and can see right through you.

Your friend is closer than a brother because- he’s linked to you by something thicker and deeper than blood- the heart!

Your friend is someone that knows you and is just like you; who thinks like you and can complete sentences just like you would; I think your friend doesn’t really add to you but brings out what is in you (this is why the kind of friend you choose is important).

Your friend is someone who’s going to the same place as you; travelling on the same road as you and embarking on the same journey as you are! This is how come you meet the person and flow so much with the person and not with someone else.

Your friend, I think, is an image or picture of you.

I don’t loathe or fear correction from my friend: in fact, I seek them because I know it is truth, it is constructive; it is out of love and for my own good.

Everyone needs a friend; who are you being a friend to?
