Why is it so important to have great friends?
I am a social being. I have always been. From the day I can remember myself I was much more of an introvert rather than an extrovert. And I have always loathed to be something more, to be able to idolise myself like I have been doing for the most part, since I cannot fathom the possibility of being socially acceptable until my 20th birthday. However, all these have now changed and they belong to the past and up until recently, I’ve come up to meet the most amazing and influential people in my life. And I am so grateful for it that they all deserve an article of their own. Each and every one of them. For all of what you’ve given me, for all that you have been to me, thank you my friends. Honestly.
And without wanting to waste any more of your time, let’s converse about why it is so crucial to have meaningful people in your life, to surround your inner circle and to motivate you each day to move one step forward towards your success.
1) Friends is your second family .They are your strongest ally, they support you through thick and thin. You can choose each other, unlike family and if you ever face any difficulty with your actual family, I bet that they are the first you are referring to every single time you think you have a doubt and you’re feeling that your life comes to a dead-end. It’s true, it’s honest, it’s brave. You are worthy and you deserve the best. Your friends too. Be with the best because you deserve nothing less.
2) They bring your best self out. Let me explain myself here. It’s easy to be friend to someone, but it is not that easy to give them every single ounce of your inner self and your deepest secrets in order to bring out the best form and the best characteristics a person can achieve. It is a vice versa procedure and it’s so damn satisfying. I cannot believe the amount of happiness or pleasure I get from this. Which in fact, brings us to my next point:
3) Friends help your soul. It might not sound pretty or self explanatory but it is so much better to be living this than describing it. It is so soothing to feel like this, to be able to express yourself, to have someone to hear you and to be there to dampen every wet feeling you may have. It is literally the best experience a man can undergo. More of that please!
4) They don’t judge you. Friends need and should be judgmental whenever the situation demands it. If you make an honest mistake, they should remark it and make the best effort to set you straight again. Nevertheless, it is not the best thing in the world to have them point you your mistakes, but even if they do, it is the right thing for them and for you and for them if they want to earn an honest place in your heart. On the other hand, you know your faults, you recognise your weaknesses and you don’t need to overanalyse them. A true friend doesn’t need to make you feel bad about your mistake. He/ she truly adheres to your inner self and makes him/her best to understand why you are actually doing what you are doing or why you are feeling why you feel. And that’s one of the best virtues a true friend can have.
To all of you, to all of my true friends,
thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Love you!
ps. You know who you are.
