A friend in a need is a friend indeed. A friend will be one who will stay by your side all the times. A true friendship should be cherished and whose friendship should be safeguard. Losing a true friend is like losing a treasure. And you may recover the wealth you lose but not the true friendship. A true friend cannot be cloned. So we must value our friendship. It will pass the test of time. Once true, always true. Such is a real friend. You love your friend whatever may happen, and you love not for any reason or to get anything from your friend. Such friendship is a real friendship and it gives true joy and contentment. With a friend you can share so much of your life. You can share your joys and successes and you can also share your troubles and failures. Your real friend loves you for what you are without being judgemental and without having any expectations earlier. A true friend is one who loves and appreciates you as you are. There are neither and any demands made of you or any compulsions on you from your true friend. When friendship is all about love, it is a special place in your heart that you reserve for your friend, just as your friend keeps a special place for you in her heart. You will go out of your way to make your friend happy when trying times befall her. Friends gives us emotional support , they help us during difficult times and make us feel special. Blessed are those who have true friends in life.

It isn't that I hate people or that I'm an awful person- at least I hope not🙄, I just have a difficult time making deep and long-lasting friendships. I wish I had that person in my life, but I don't know how.

I've even called some of those people my best friends in the past, but it was nothing more than a surface relationship, short lived and generally superficial. I can have fun with them and go out with them , but it's a classic friendship revolves around having fun. There is no deep trust or meaningful connection . There are not deepest, darkest secret exchanged or any going to the end of the world for each other . We have fun together for a while but the friendship eventually fizzles out and we lose touch. I'm happy to have made the memories with them.

Because of some issues, I lost someone who, at one time, I considered a good friend. Our friendship grew over 7 yrs and it was the closest I'd come to having a true or best friend. I knew everything about her but there was a lot that I didn't share about myself. I wanted to but how the time flew and we got separated. But we came in contact with each other after 2 yrs . And I really wanted to share those things which I was unable to tell anyone but it was little late . I felt that we were not so close that we use to (I think so) and I don't know about her feelings. But I didn't allow her to be there for me. I didn't let her know things about me that I wanted to help with. So I remained quiet.

But now I try to reach out more to the people in my life and keep in touch, I try to let them in more and instead of allowing the relationship to fade away, I'm trying to hold onto it and let it grow.
