Friends

There are many types of ships such as wooden ships, plastic ships and metal ships but the best ships that can ever be made are Friendships. When we have problems, who do we confide or pour out our hearts to? Of course to our friends. Well if you are ask me what friends mean to me, I would definitely say that they mean the world to me.

We can have many friends but the majority of them would be just “Hi” , “Bye” friends. This is because it is not easy to find true friends that we click with instantly. There can be a variety of factors drawing people to click and not click with each other but the beautiful thing is when we do click with someone it is next to impossible to forget them no matter how distanced we are. People say that in each stage of our lifes we make new friends and old friends are forgotten as time goes by. I strongly disagree with this because it is our responsibility to keep in touch with friends and not let time take our friends away. But now thanks to the advancement of technology in the field of communication, I think we shall have no more excuses to not to keep in touch with friends.

How do we know that that someone is a true friend? Well true friends would be at our side during our good and bad times trying to make us feel better all the time. They will never demotivate us but constantly try to increase our self-esteem. We can trust them as our secrets we tell them will go with them to their graves. Besides that, they will not only never back stab us but also accept us for who we are. In addition, true friends will become somewhat a part of our family and they will freely make our homes as their homes.

Sometimes we may have some misunderstandings and quarrels with our friends. These are the times when we have to sit and think where we went wrong, and did we understand their feelings properly. Though it may not have been our fault it is never wrong to go and say sorry to our friends. We may not know what our friends are going through if we do not ask them because some friends will not tell their problems with the thought that they do not want to make us feel sad or worried about them.

In conclusion, the most ideal type of friendship would be friendship of reciprocity and having one is the greatest gift we are giving ourselves.
