How Do You Define Friendship? Virtual & Physical
I've got very few friends from far distance and near combined, some I've never seen them physically before, some we rarely meet and others we meet frequently.

Friendship for me isn't based off how many times we see each other, the most important is the connectivity. We might not be talking to each other for months and get to do it better whenever we get to reach each other on phone or physical meetings, that's how me and most of my guys do.
Unfortunately we get to meet fewer times now because of how life has separated us around the globe, the few times we do meet is probably during festive seasons when everyone comes back home to celebrate with family or on special occasions that unites us together.
Almost all my friends we get to interact online both the ones I've seen and the ones I haven't. So the most usual way I get to talk and share ideas with my friends is online. In my new jurisdiction, I've stayed over a year and haven't been able to make lasting friends. The thing there is that I hardly go out so mingling with people is usually the hardest for me to do, the highest I can do is to relate lightly neighbors time to time.
Friendship for me both virtual and physical is the same, if we can't be profitable to each other then we might not be able to nurture our friendship for long. I want to be there when they need me just as I would love them to be there when I need them also. This doesn't have to be materialistic, it can be sharing of ideas and creating lasting solutions to simple life problems together. I don't define friendship based off how many times we communicate all the time, I think this is not usually for the guys.
The guys will always be up and doing to see how to make ends meet, they rarely have time to seat and be gisting for too many hours, we easily get bored and want to go back and continue work! I've had people that contributed greatly to my life that I haven't seen them before, very few, I think just one and many others that we've shared positive connections with them virtually as well. I'm thankful for the kind of friends I've got, we all understand each other and none among my guys have come to complain he isn't getting enough time or attention from any of us so that we will not end up calling him gay!
Boys will sacrifice for boys, boys will sacrifice for their friends but not necessarily that they've got to meet all the time first. This is just applicable to friends that cherish themselves and the relationship between themselves not some whack tigers in sheep clothing out there. I love to make sacrifices for my friends and I don't see myself limiting that to only the ones I use to see face to face. If you're in the circle, you in it for real, the same love will go round.
I've got few friends and forever grateful that I met them. Thanks for reading through my entry for Hive learners week 191 episode 1, see you on the next one!
