Three Qualities of True Friends

               True friends are companions for life. They are different from friends whom you just hang around just because they are the only ones around you or the friends whom you pretend to hang around with just for the sake of it. True friends are friends who share their weirdness with each other and understand each other regardless of what happens. They know how to forgive each other even after fighting with each other because they realize their own mistakes. Even after not talking to each other or meeting with each other for days, it’s not awkward the next time they meet each other. It’s because they learned to become familiar with each other, and even though they are away, they still care for each other.

               Trust is one thing that keeps each other intact even when they are far away. Because they trust each other, they are able to tell each other secrets and share their thoughts. They rely on each other for support. Because they trust each other, they don’t lie to each other. They know that they would not tell others about one’s own secrets. Because of this, they are able to build trust and this deepens the relationship between the two.

               Trust builds on the relationship but love is the one that connects them. Love is an emotion common to all people but it is very influential in a way that it impacts the person greatly. It can move the person and persuade them to change their mind or do certain things. When one of them gets in trouble, the other tries hard to help them get out of the hardships they are facing. When one of them gets into a fight with another, either verbally or physically, the other one will always be there for help.  They are the ones who will always take your side (unless they are the ones fighting and they disagree with each other) and go against the others who disagree with their friends. When one of them is happy, the other one will also be happy because their friend is happy. When one is sad, the other one will also be sad because their friend is sad. They share their emotions because they are like one in a sense that they are bonded closely with love. Even though they are apart, they will never forget each other because love remains in their hearth even if they may forget some memories as they grow old.

               True friends are loyal to each other. They do not cheat on each other or deceive each other. They are faithful to one another regardless of time. True friends never depart. Their bodies may be away but their hearts are always together thinking about one another. One might forget about them as they live on with their life, but when they meet each other again, it will be like they departed yesterday or even few hours ago. They don’t tell other friends that they hate their friends because they don’t. Even if they did hate them for a while, the feeling of love will soon overrule hatred. Because they went through happiness and sadness together, they are able to form a strong bond that will keep them loyal to each other forever.
