Friends are one of the most important relationships anyone can have. They are the people you pick to have around you. You could meet them in sports teams, at social events, or maybe you are just friends with them because you have to see them five times a week in class. No matter the case, friends are great people to have in your life.
But what exactly is a friend?
According to Dictionary.com, friend is defined as the following:
But is that really what that means? There is so much more to a friend.
A friend is someone who:
- You love and loves you back
- Has mutual trust, honesty, and loyalty
- Does things with you even if they don’t like doing that
- Makes time go by really fast when hanging out
- Communicates with you and listens to your problems
- You hang out with so much, you feel like you are both becoming the same person
Friendship vs Popularity
To be clear, there is a distinction between having good friends and having many friends. Sometimes a lot of people are trying to be popular and increase their number of Instagram followers and number of likes on their posts. But trust me, as you get older, the number of friends that you have will not matter in five years.
Reach out
