Hello friends of Liketu, I'm mariflautacubana, and as my name suggests, I'm a Cuban flutist and singer. This is my first vlog in the community, and I want to say hello to all its members and let them know that from now on, you'll see me more often here. I've been checking it out and really enjoyed the content here❤️.
Today I want to talk to you about something very precious to human beings: friendship.
- What is friendship? - It's the bond we could have with one or more people, cultivated through the way we treat them and the mutual interest we show them over time.¹ Yes, friendship is something we could have with our family members, partners, and even our pets.
- What would life be like without friends with whom you can enjoy, create, talk about any personal topic, or confess your problems, and who, without thinking, support and help you? - It wouldn't be bad to live alone or at peace with yourself and not have friends, because as I always say, we were born alone and we will die alone. But friendship is based on those people who pull you out of that loneliness even if you don't want to leave, who are there waiting for you to fall so they can pick you up, or better yet, making sure you don't fall.
Here I show you what I'm talking about: friends who have been by my side through thick and thin, who have helped me, and with whom I've enjoyed a large part of my life. This last point doesn't mean that friendship is only born over time, not at all. If you've met someone and they've shown you they have good values and that you can trust them, then I think you can consider it a friendship.
When I was younger and studying, I believed it was necessary to know a lot of people, have as many friends as possible, and be popular. This is something many will relate to, as it's very normal. It's a stage where you're still unclear about your goals, you want to experiment, and you tend to be a little insecure. But little by little, as the years go by, we realize who stays and who goes, who we can and can't, and that's what life is all about.
These photos are of people who have shown me they can walk by my side, that I can trust them as much as they trust me, and that despite the bad times and life's obstacles, they always make me happy.
Always remember this: "If you don't have friends, it doesn't matter, but if you do, take care of them."
Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this vlog about friendship, drawn from the depths of my soul, and I look forward to many more like it. Cheers!!😘
