WHAT IS TRUE FRIEND
Image Source
A friend is one of the important ingredients in our life. They spice up your boring day and brighten up the dark moments. If you found a real one, appreciate and cherish them because they are hard to find. Our world today is full of individuals that will try to take advantage of you and they are usually a friend in disguise. These people will pretend to be nice in front of you but start talking things behind your back. They only show kindness as long as they need something from you and never hesitate to dump you in the end.
I guess the most hurtful betrayal is when it doesn’t come from your enemies.
During our childhood, we often thought that everybody can be our friend just like our playmates and classmates. This statement is somehow true because we must believe that each of us has the potential to offer a friendship. As we grow older, we realized that everyone can say hi but not all of them will stay.
Have you lost contact with someone dear to you? Have you ever experienced to ride a train and saw your close friend (before) but both of you acted like a complete stranger? Maybe, it is what we called change. Some people are only meant to give excitements in our lives for a short period of time, and then eventually they'll leave.
On the other hand, there are still individuals who will be true to us. Though most of the friendships started with liking each other, there are also friendships started with disliking the person. I'm a living proof of it because my best friend today is the person that I don't like before. Does she know about it? Yes, and instead of getting mad, she was just laughing the whole time. I think friendship means that you are willing to accept the past even if it's against you and tolerate each other's differences.
Friendship is not about how it started, what matters the most are the stories that you've shared and built together along the way.
What about in Steemit? Is it possible to find a trustful friend on this platform? There's no doubt that finding a real friend in the online world is rare but finding one is still feasible. I am saying this because I found some of them. Their thoughtfulness is what I appreciate because they never failed to keep in touch despite their busy schedules. Whenever I have problems, they are there to give me comfort and help in every way that they can. I am grateful to God for allowing me to meet these amazing people.
A true friend is not always measured by how long have you known each other, it is the ability to stick around when everything screws up.
To be a real friend is showing your presence even if you are physically absent. No miles are too far and no boundaries can stop you, you will remain his friend no matter what. You are there to be his support system but you also know when enough is enough specially if he’s going in a wrong path. He can be clumsy and susceptible to make bad decisions but you are still there and never leave his side. Both of you are influencing each other with good deeds and bringing out the best version of yourselves.
A true friendship is being happy every time he is flying high instead of getting envy of his success.
They will encourage you towards personal growth and willing to listen with an open mind. Instead of judging your choices in life, they will try to understand the situation. These people will keep on loving you no matter how unreasonable you are sometimes. They are like toothpaste who never failed to come in every tight squeeze.
Philosophy in life worth pondering:
- One life to live, Real Life is hardcore
- DOING THE RIGHT THINGS OR DOING THE THINGS RIGHT
- DOES TRUTH NEEDS EVIDENCE
- THE FEAR OF LOSING WHAT YOU NEVER HAD
- WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO OWN YOUR EMOTIONS? @ecotrain QOTW
- TO LOVE AND BE HURT OR NEVER LOVE AT ALL
- CAN YOU BE TRULY HAPPY WITHOUT MONEY
- CAN PEOPLE REALLY CHANGE
- HOW SHOULD YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
- HOW OPEN ARE YOU ABOUT YOUR EMOTIONS TO OTHER PEOPLE? @ecoTrain QOTW
- TO BE LIKED OR TO BE RESPECTED
- WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO CHANGE IN THE WORLD
- DO YOU APPRECIATE OTHERS TO BE OPEN ABOUT THEIR EMOTIONS? @ecoTrain
- WHAT MAKES YOU, YOU
- WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE SOCIETY
- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXISTING AND LIVING
- WHAT IS TRUE STRENGTH
- WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE HAPPY? @ecoTrain QOTW
Very well said @escuetapamela. Real friendship is rare because for the most part people get to know each other for benefits. Even the seemingly legitimate benefits don't build real friendship.
Real friends are those who appreciate you for no reason. Around them you are content and don't need to be someone else, you are accepted just the way you are. :)
It seems that you've found a real friend! - coz you are speaking it on point. :)
Everything that you've said is so beautiful, thank you for sharing your sentiments about friendship.
I'm learning a lot from you. :)
I guess I have real friends, yet no one needs a real friend to define what real friendship is.
I respect your opinion about it.
I guess differences in opinions are what makes our life colorful (and of course understandings are needed).
As long as we believe in love, true friendship will never gone. :)
God bless you!

Thank you so much sir for being so helpful!
May the God bless you always! :)
Ironically your friend becomes your enemy -_-
Friendship is a real treasure
There is an understanding of its meaning and there are those who did not understand
Sad but true!
Some friendships didn't last, and to make it worst, some ended up as enemies.
I hope that everyone will spread love rather than hatred!
Cheers for you my friend! :)
Great post, @escuetapamela, as always!
For me, a true friend is the one who always with me when I need him/her. The friend who will be happy when I share my happiness. And the friend who will feel sad and empathy when I am in trouble. Again, I will never forget this proverb, "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed".
Related to the friend in Steemit, I do not hesitate that if somebody found a true friend here in this platform. The more both of them do interaction and communication, the more they know each other. Day by day, they will feel comfortable to talk about routines, to share feelings and thoughts, and etc. At last, they will think that they'll need each other in this life.
Thank you dear!
You are so right. We will see who's true to us in every hard situation.
Many can be nice and smile at you but only a few will stick with you in bad days.
I may not know you personally but I think are a very good friend to your friends.
More blessings to you dear! :)
Thanks for saying that, @escuetapamela.
I think, I always agree on what you expressed in your writings. You described everything happening in life from every perspectives. And those are all true. I learn many things about life in yours. So, can't wait for your next writing.
Hopefully one day I have a chance to go to Philipine, I have already had friend there who will be a tour guide. Heheheehheeh...
