Greetings everyone, I'm glad to participate in this hive student weekly prompt
Friendship, to me, isn't just about having people to hang out with, it's about finding those who bring out the best in you. I don't really chase friendships; I let them grow naturally. But with time, I've learned to recognise the kind of energy I want around me because I don't really believe having many friends around you, what I believe most is to have genuine friends that can stay by your side when the tough time comes.
There's some friendships that have turned into family they're not see themselves as friends, they see themselves as their family in the way they interact with each other. Because friendship must beyond what we achieve from each other we must be able to stand for ourselves when things tough that's the essence of friendship, well some friends just they roll with you because what can gain from you, is not that they like you but it because what you can offer for them that's why they like you.
My main criteria for friendship are honesty, loyalty, and mutual respect. This is what I mostly believe in when I want to choose a friend. Before I can be a friend to someone, this is all the criteria I just have to check, because I believe that “A friend in need is indeed."
How I know that I've made the right friendship is when I feel peace, not pressure. When we can be ourselves with pretending, and when our bond feels like home,when both can help ourselves without telling others, that's when I know that I have chosen the right choice of a friendship.
I remember some years back, I have a friend then, these and my friend will also close to the extent that we more than friends we have become family, because we use to do things together, maybe he find any update before he tells anyone about the update, he will first inform me about that and likewise me as well, what I love most about our friendship is we use to push ourselves to success, because we don't like anyone among us to lack behind.
Sometimes before I choose my reading partner I use to study them because I used to reason if the person I want to choose as my study partner has reading energy and if the person has the energy so I can be friends with such a person.
Thanks for reading
