Friendship- a relationship that I consider one of the most beautiful ones ever existing. You get a choice to choose friends and each friend in most cases is a Gem to be treasured. At different stages in our lives we meet and make different friends and sometimes these friendships last a lifetime creating a bond never to be broken. A good friendship is food for the soul,, one we need to survive because friendship is love that keeps us secure in its warmth and this is priceless as it really does make you who you are. Friends are the family we choose and in that sense are really precious.
They say changes are the only constant. So do friendships change with time or do some friendships last through thick and thin? Sometimes friends do drift apart and there could be many reasons like other relationships, marriage, children, lifestyle changes,moving to different places, grief and sometimes when we change the way we look at things. Some friendships that do not have a special bond do break or weaken
when all the above cited changes happen in life.
As I see it, there are some people we are linked with in an inexplicable way. An invisible bond that you know is there.With these people one does not need to correspond on a daily basis for the feelings to last. You meet them after years too the feelings are there, intact, no discomfort, no awkwardness. Just pure love. That is what I would say is pure n true friendship. A precious relationship to be treasured. It is something that is
earned so cannot be treated frivolously and taken for granted. It needs nurturing and caring so one has to treasure it.
I have some wonderful friends I treasure , ones who I laugh with, ones I cry with, ones who chase away my blues and with who I have such strong emotional bonding that I know come what may, they are and will be a part of my life. I just cannot sometimes put my finger on what keeps this invisible iron bonds in place but I always count myself lucky to be blessed with such friendships. 2 from school, 2 from college and a few I made friends with online,when I see them I realise how lucky I am to be blessed with so many good people and angels in my life.
The joys of a true friendship is a joy that lasts forever so make friends with care and never let go of the ones you cherish for rare as they come, true friends are the most precious gems one finds in life.
