Right from the beginning of time,friends especially Childhood friends has always been dear to our hearts. What about school friend? School friends are our buddies, we roll with them, stroll with them and most of them even know us better than we think. Neighborhood friends are there to cheer you up when you are around the house, most times our friendship with them goes a little above saying hi to each other because we do not want them to know too much about us.
University or college friends too, they tend to be like the best we have ever had because the few years we spent together in college are really memorable. This is because at this stage we are fully aware of the type of friends we really want to hang around us. Work friends are also nice people too but they are usually temporal friends because most time when the work is no longer there, the friends also are no longer there and that is why I said they are temporal friends. Best friends are usually those people who are there for us all the time, they know our lows and our highs. They encourage you to do the "supposedly impossible" just to make us better.
Our best friends knows almost all our secrets if not all. Also, we have the Boyfriends and Girlfriends which fits into all these category, they are usually referred to as "my personal person" here in Nigeria because it's not everyone we refer to as our boyfriend or girlfriend. We all hold our girlfriends and boyfriends in high esteem because the type of relationship we have with them are usually long term relationship.....

For this reasons We work our entire lives building friendships at every stage of our lives. From birth with our family to preschool, where we all learn that it takes a friend to make a friend and also through adulthood of which the list of potential friends are endless. we mingle at bars, churches or mosque where we crave closeness with other human beings too.
We just need to know that someone out there cares about us. each of our friendships brings something new to our lives,something that inspires us to see the world in a totally different way, giving us a new bases to lay the foundation of friendship.
Friendships come in all sorts of forms which we can boldly categorize in the format of serious ones, like our work friends which we discuss office related issues with. Our college friends who seems to be serious or unserious with academic activities. Our friends from the same religion with whomever we discuss spiritual related topics with.

I remember as a child then, my Big brother and his friends would always talk about football and politics whenever they come together and drink. Sometimes I ask myself "do they ever get tired of talking about football and politics?" just for you to know, they are still friend today and still do the same routine whenever they have the opportunity to hangout again.
In most cases I have seen friendships turn into something more and it is usually beautiful. If we check in today's world, married couples who were friends before getting married tend to have better marriages today. As a result of that each friendship offers something totally unique and irreplaceable in our lives which ultimately makes us who we are today .So when you do find a true friend, hang on tight and don't let go.
We are all treasures to our friends the same way they are treasures to us.
I am a friend
You are a friend
We are all friends
Love you all @osasdivine
