Friendship

“Friendship openly persuades our minds
To do the right thing
And secretly convinces our hearts
To become the right person.”

What if I called or text someone I lost contact with, what would I experience? From my personal experience, I can say only good will come out of it. I rekindled friendships and discovered how much our journeys were alike. Everyone we’ve met on our journey is a part  of our life. Rekindling connections every now and then is a good thing.
What kind of friend should you be? Have you ever thought about it? Have you thought about the what the word friend means to you? For many in our digital age a friend is an acquaintance on a social media platform. For some, a friend is someone they know by name and with whom they are somewhat familiar. Others understand the reciprocal nature of friendship. They understand friendship bonds two people together. These friends care deeply for each other and sacrifice to help each other.
“Look to what you have around you and be grateful, instead of searching for more. All you take with you when you leave this world is love, friendship, and good deeds.”
“It’s better to stand by someone’s side than by yourself” ~Â Jack London
Traveling broadens our view. When we travel we find other people, from different cultures and belief systems are not too different from us. The more we travel, the more we discover how deeply we are connected. When we know another person, it is more difficult to dislike or hate the other person. This is true in our local communities as well as on a global scale. If we can withhold judgments and choose to learn, we have an opportunity to connect, learn, and create a friendship.Â
Friends help friends. One can measure the depth of friendship by how willing a friend is to help in time of need. It’s a two way street. A trusted friend is priceless, don’t let go.
“A true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart.”
I’m sure of this, if I want a friend, I need to first be a friend.Â
“There are many different ways to cope with stress. We know from a lot of different studies that having close personal relationships—people with whom you can talk, with whom you can share your feelings—can be helpful,” says Kiecolt-Glaser. “So spending time with family and friends in order to maintain those relationships is perhaps one of the most crucial things you can do as a stress reducer.”
