The Value of Friendship

I've never really known the real value of people until now. I have never felt like friendship was really that important because I had my dad, I had my boyfriend and that seemed to be just about enough. Whenever I was single I would be a loner, I would have just about enough friends to go out with occasionally.
Now I really can value a real friend because I have finally gotten to know genuine people that you or I in this case feel like sharing every waking moment with. It's indeed quite a new and recent feeling I have been having and many people already know this and life by this but I want to emphasize the importance of real genuine friends.

Knowing a true friend is the tough part. A friend has to have the ability to listen to you and stick to you through your bad times. It has to be the other way around too though; you should have to want to confide to that friend. You should feel comfortable in confiding and comfortable in being with the friend as well. You should be able to cry in front of them if things get tough and you should be able to know that they will definitely go out of their way for you if necessary.  A friendship is a relationship too that both parts have to work on regularly.

A friend is one's best counsellor and advisor. A good friend is one's best companion and laugh-mate. A friend is one's best therapist and in the end, a friend can be one's lifesaver.

To my dear friends: I love you, I cherish you and I thank you for all the great moments spend and all the tears cried out. <3
