💛 Friendship, About Having Someone Who Stays

Friendship is one of the most beautiful and fragile things we have.

It can lift us, annoy us, challenge us, and still mean everything.
The people who stay, even when things get hard, are the ones who make life both safer and softer.

I found a text I wrote a long time ago, and it reminded me how important true friendship is, the kind that can handle a little bit of everything.

Friendship

You can argue, discuss, and joke with a friend,
but you will always become friends with this person again.
A friend shares sorrow, hope, and joy.
They help you when you're in trouble.
They become like a part of you,
more than you even realize.

Friends help you ease the feeling of fear,
and remind you that you matter.
They make you feel, most of all, that you are not alone.
If this friend is someone you can trust,
and someone worth caring for...
Then this friend is an incredible friend.

Maybe a best friend.

🌿 Thoughts on True Friendship

True friendship isn't about being together all the time.
It's about knowing that someone is there, even when things aren't perfect.
It's about having someone who can handle your silence, your honesty, and still choose to stay.

Some friends are only with us for a short time, while others become a part of our story forever.
And maybe that's exactly how it's meant to be.
Some come to teach us something.
Others stay to remind us who we are.

Friendship isn't always easy,
but it's always worth it.
Because in all that's imperfect, there's something deeply real,
and that's what true friendship is made of. 💛
