The True Essence of Friendship

THE TRUE ESSENCE OF FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is an unique bond of love, compassion and understanding between two people that is unlike any other…...

It is the one of the only relationships in our life that we get by choice and not by compulsion.

And like every other relation, it will also have it's share of ups and downs but it is up to you how well you navigate your way through them.

So this friendships day, here are a few tips to make your ties unbreakable………

1.Trust

You should always trust your pal as much as you trust yourself . 

Over the time trust will keep growing with your friendships, it is upto you how early you reach that point where you consider your friends decision as good as yours and never give it a second thought. 

And always remember if someone has trusted you with something , make sure to keep that trust eternal and not break it for some silly misunderstandings!

2.Patience

Patience is the key to each and every relationship that you may have in your life.

In friendship, patience is all about sticking around your friend when they tell you to get lost, standing up for them in their most embarrassing moments and being patient with them no matter how reasonless or childish their arguments may seem, and most importantly being there with them throughout their journey of highs and low’s!

 They may scream at you,yell at you, or throw a fit but you have to be patient with them and be there for them the next day they come, with their eyes wet, pleading for forgiveness.

That is when you will know that you have indeed been a really good friend!

3.Forgiveness

The attitude to forgive and forget, put the past behind you and move ahead is really powerful and it will help you sail through life smoothly.

Every friendship is incomplete without fights. 

However,  how well you manage to come out of them and cope with them, is what actually determines the strength of your friendship.

There will be times when you are really angry and frustrated, and never want to see the other person again , but it is at such times that you should remember all the good times that you have spent with them, all the fun you have had….and whether all those good times and memories are worth putting an end to.

Everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance (especially your best friend)!

4.Sense of Security-

It is genuine for a person to develop a sense of protectiveness and security towards a loved one because you never want to see them get hurt.

But you should make sure that by protecting them you are not totally making them dependent on you, and that they are capable of fighting their own battles.

Taking a stand for them, supporting them - 

good friend, 

but you fighting all their battles in place of them  - 

not such a great friend….

Next time make sure they are as capable of handling a situation , standing up to someone as much as you are.

And that will indeed be a milestone in your friendship !

5.Priority

Your priorities are meant to change with your time and age, but no matter how old you get or how much your list changes,

 remember to never change your friends  position on it.

Even as you navigate your way through your school age there will be multiple distractions and attractions but never replace your friend with one of them. You might date somebody today and break up with them tomorrow, but who is going to listen to how your date went, who is going to give u a shoulder to cry on when you break up…..?

Your friend is the only one relation in your life which will remain a constant , make sure you never make them feel like a variable.

These were just a few points that we always tend to oversee as our friendship nurtures and grows 

It is never too late to give yourself a check on these …….

Friendship is a really pure and innocent relation try your best to keep it intact and cherish and celebrate every day of it!

If you do not have a friend , never consider yourself lonely because there is a someone for everyone….

You never know where you may find your friend, in your parent, sibling or in your crush…….. just keep looking and I am pretty sure that you will spot them!

A happy friendships day to all!
