Friendship is a special bond, as if one kindred soul meets another, with common characteristics, ways of thinking or experiences that generates a unique bond that is difficult to explain.
For me the word friendship is a very important word, which I don't say often. Today people have social networks and apparently have many friends, but for me that is not friendship, but rather something restricted to a few people. A special bond is not always created.
Friendship has no age, but maturity of souls, it is the souls that meet or feel affinity with each other, the physique and what they call age does not matter. I am too selective to say that word and I believe that the title of friend should not be given to just anyone or said lightly. It's special, something that if you find the right person, it can last a lifetime, like when you find the love of your life, the love that you know is that person, that person and no other.
I only have two friends. The first one Claudia, she is my friend and my sister, I adore her since the day she approached me because she saw me so lonely, I was very lonely, shy, I isolated myself. But she appeared after suffering many betrayals of friendships in life. It's been 30 years since that day... 30 years. She is my right hand, she is my proxy, she is the person I feel when she is sad, or when something has happened to her, even if we don't talk, a connection that transcends distance and time. She is the blood sister I didn't have, but much more than that, sister friend. I would put my life in her hands.
The second is Loli, a friend I made here, after the pandemic, she is 20 years older than me physically, but not on the inside. We share experiences of things that are not seen, talks of all kinds, coffee in between, complicity, many walks, art galleries, the past, the present and the future, everything is a topic of conversation. Trust is the key in both cases.
Few friends, but iron, few friends and a lot of trust, few friends and loyalty, few friends and a special, unique and eternal connection.
The reason for this... I think I am like this, but I was also highly betrayed in the past, by those who called themselves my friends. I was in high school. A betrayal that I mourned so much for so long, because I realised that I had only been used, used and discarded just like that.
It is often said that true friends are those who are there in the bad times. Well, in the bad times there has always been someone close to me, but in the good times you can really see that friendship, at least that's what life has taught me.
Whoever is happy about a success and celebrates with you, that person rejoices in your happiness, that person is a friend, as well as being there for you in the bad times. But many times in the face of a success those people move away, they speak ill of you from behind and that hurts a lot, it hurts deeply, because those who you thought were friends were not friends but only people who took advantage of you while they could and only gave you a pat on the back when things went wrong... saying.... Too bad, I'm sorry.
My supposed friends in high school used me, I was the one who studied the most, the one who knew, the one who helped them with homework, did the hardest jobs. But when the teachers chose me as the flag escort to represent all the students, they said I didn't deserve it. Something that should have been success and joy was the biggest pain.
I cried so much, but so much, but I walked away from them and was left alone during my last year of high school. All alone. They talked bad about me behind my back and I overheard them, there were so many lies that I felt as if they had stabbed me with daggers. But I learned that I was a fool and I became distrustful of everyone. I understood that envy is present in good times and it hurts a lot.
Until Claudia arrived, who made me know what true friendship was and taught me to trust again. Thank you for that, I know you will read this. To my two great friends: I love you with all my soul.
I am glad to have known that deep sense of friendship that transcends the limits of distance and time. That's why I chose these themes among the weekend themes that 
And thank you all for reading my post today, I wish you a great weekend. See you soon.
