Friends or Acquaintances

Imagine yourself in the centre of the universe, the next circle around you will be lover;your closest, most intimate relationship. After which the next circle will be your family and friends. These will be the people that you love the most, choose to spend most time with, love you the most, allowing you to kick of your shoes and be yourself. How many of such people will we met in our life?

I have met some friends who will clare about friends forever are things like that by their side of mouth always, but how many will really treat you as their friend forever? Forever is the whole of life, how long will these friends be by your side?

I had met some nice and good friends in my secondary school time. Recently chat with a good friend of mine whom i last meet around a year ago online. Part of the conversation goes:

Elain: Wanna meet up?
Friend: Too long never meet le.
Elain: That's why i asked.
Friend: Too long never meet le, feel strange,no common topics.
Elain: Okie.
Someone once said that a real friend is someone you can be having a conversation with as they get on the plane, you don't see them for ten years and when they arrive back they carry on the conversation as they get off the plane like a moment hadn't passed. That's exactly how it is between good friends. So get what i mean, how many of such real friends will we met in life?

What a real friend does:

  1. Being there, not just the good times...
  2. Being there, when they need you in the early hours...
  3. Being there, when they need you in the dark days...
  4. Being there, in time of trouble and stress...
  5. Let them cry on your shoulder...
  6. Lend them a hanky...
  7. Pat them on back to encourage them...
  8. Make endless cups of tea...
  9. Give them good advice...
  10. Will be there to hold their hand...
  11. Will be there just to listen...
  12. Will be there when you don't want to be...
  13. Will be there when all the other friends have fallen by wayside...
  14. Will be there no matter what...

If you are going to be a friend, be a good friend.....
