My True Friend

My true friend

In life everyone will meet many people that say that they are your friend, but you will make only a few true friends. What is a friend? In the dictionary a friend is defined as one that is not hostile, or one attached to another by affection or esteem, a favored companion. In my opinion a friend is much more than that. A friend is some one that will stand by you, even during the toughest times. To me friendship is about believing in your friends and helping them to achieve all they can or want to do in life. We are there for each other with hugs, advice, kind words, fights, and anger, whatever comes along. When the day ends, we are still friends who have each other no matter what happens.

We all have a desire to have friends. It is what makes us reach out of our shells and take the chance of being hurt. It is not easy figuring out who is a friend and who is not. I believe Mimi, to be a true friend. We meet in high school and have known each other for five years. Mimi and I have been through many good and hard times together. In addition, we have experienced so many adventures together, such as going to another places where we shared so many enjoyable adventures. Are friendship has done nothing but grow and continues to do so. We are currently indulgencing in another adventure by living together in Ilagan Isabela, and studying at Saint Ferdinand College.

I consider Mimi to be a true friend. A true friend is there for you when you need them. To have a true friend is a remarkable thing. To find someone that shares similar interests, who cares about whom you are and what you are doing. A true friend is there for you when you need them. Someone who you are not embarrassed to cry in front of, who you can tell the deepest darkest secrets to and know they will be safe. An old rule of thumb is that a true friend is someone you can call after months or ever years and speak as if not a day had passed. Mimi and I have experienced this, we were parted from each other for about three months only for our vacation Once we came in contact again with each other ,it was as though we never skipped a beat.

True friendships come along so rarely, and I am so thankful to have met her that we must move past anything that threatens them and see the big picture. Without our friendships, we are indeed lost. Whatever happens, we should always keep our true friends close to our heart. Tell them how much they mean to you. Do not let them slip away. If they do, go out and get them back. The bonds we make during these days will serve to keep us going in the months and years ahead.

The yearn for the kind of friendship and companionship call forth the best of each one of us. We feel the person we choose to be our friend and the group that we choose to belong to must answer to the qualities and characteristics that draw us out and give us sense of fulfillment.
