FRIENDSHIP… that's the keyword. One of the most beautiful things in life is to have true friends. And now you are wondering what is the connection between friendship and the irony of life? Well, let me explain…
I have a lot of besties, and you are thinking right now: "And so what?". The irony is that some of them used to hate me when we were younger and the feeling was mutual. Now, we are always laughing when we are thinking about it. Also, this year I’ve made some awesome friends, which became my best friends in a short period and I am happy to have them in my life.
So, what’s the point of this article? I want to debate a topic that may seem a little strange, but I think we’ve all faced it at least once in our life.
I realized that not only the duration of the friendship matters. In very long friendships, at some point, there will be days, weeks, or even years when you won't talk to each other. This may not be caused by a fight, it is just a period when you don’t want to talk for no reason. That’s when the friends you made recently want to show you that they are worth trusting. I love all of my friends and of course, I appreciate the ones that are still here for me after a lot of time, but sometimes the new ones seemed much more keen to help me.
Also, I have to mention that every single one of my besties, the girls and the boys have a special place in my heart and I want them to feel special. Despite not mentioning their name(it's not the most appropriate thing to invade their privacy), I want them to know they mean so much to me. I am aware I am not telling all of them very often how important they are to me.
Too intimate you may think. I wrote some sentences about my friends because I prefer to explain my own experience instead of hitting you with scientific, weird facts that maybe I won't fully understand. If you enjoy my writing style, I want you to know it makes me smile to think you took your time to read this article.
Back to the subject, I think it’s important to have new friendships, but we need to remain on good terms with older friends too. More, if you see your friends struggling in life, be there for them. Imagine if you were in his/her situation, you would want a hand of help. So just be there. Don’t use those awkward questions, just say “If you need anything, I’m here” and I can guarantee that your friend will open to you more than if you are asking if is everything alright. A question like "Are you ok?" can be too plain and the person thinks you asked from pity. So they reply with “I’m fine” and that's not the case for many. No, they are not overreacting. If you are real friends, you will help each other. All of my friends showed me this and I’m sure yours will do, just be confident and tell them.
So, in conclusion, the duration of a friendship doesn’t matter, if the two of you are compatible.
