Friendship A Pillar!

Friendship

My experience with friends has been like a curve. I have had backstabbers; I have had the ones that stay for a while and the ones who can trust blindly with your life. I personally believe that a friend in need is a friend indeed. You don’t have to be friends with someone just to talk to them. I have heard people saying they are lonely just because they have no one to talk to. What is the point of having a friend just to talk to? Friendship is for me a feeling that brings a smile on your face when you are around someone. Don't get me wrong, some might define love like that. My definition for love is all the while different from this.  Coming back to friendship, It is when you can trust someone with anything you need to let out. Yes, I have a friend like that. I trust him with all my life. We have been friends for a decade now. I am basically a social person. I talk to many people, but I don’t believe in calling them friends. I believe in calling them acquaintances. It isn’t a bad word. It helps in reducing the confusion of defining what a person is to you. A friend is the biggest key to happiness during teenage. We go through depression, we need a friend. We go through success, we need a friend. We need to hang out, we need a friend. I know some readers would say, sometimes girlfriends/boyfriends are enough to do all this, I would call them boring. I went through a lot of depression during my teenage. My family has not supportive of me. But that was when I looked up to my friends for help. Wait, I shouldn’t say help. I needed my friends to let me know I have someone. And they sure did. It took me a while to make my parents proud of me, but yeah, with the guidance of a friend I sure did. Whenever I see someone cribbing about not having too many friends, the only advice I have to tell them is, you have one friend. Trust him and don’t let him go. One is good, two is great, but three is always a crowd. Don't have an ambition of making friends. Or, don't say you are good at making friends, make sure those friends that you make hold on to you when you need them the most.
