Friendship means trust, support, good times and bad times; it is part of life, a bond that strangers steadily over time and is cultivated by being there, through advice and actions that make a difference.
In my opinion, it is a very precious bond that only occurs in empathetic people, when the feeling is true, there are no half measures, it is black or white, standing firm in the face of actions and, above all, loyalty when we are absent, that is worth its weight in gold.
In such a toxic society, where everyone wants to give their opinion and damage your image, you have to fully appreciate those who always give you a shoulder to lean on and, above all, those who give you your place at all times.
It all starts with a simple “Hello,” and through daily contact within society itself (community, academic, work, religious, among others), human relationships expand, establishing a direct affection that, depending on each circumstance, strengthens a beautiful friendship. So much so that they come to know what is pleasant or unpleasant for you, and that says a lot.
Sharing important dates (birthdays, graduations, weddings, births, baptisms, among others) strengthens bonds. It seems unbelievable, but a simple hug, when given with extreme feeling, conveys peace and indirectly expresses “I am here for you today and always.”
Every day, we cultivate friendship by nurturing it with every action, marking a momentous before and after. As the years go by, we see the trailer of our friendships not only in our minds but also in photos, and we say aloud how the years go by, how life turns around, ha ha ha.
I have friends from my childhood, and although we have all taken different paths, we have always stayed in touch. We never forget the good times and bad times we shared, the laughter, the expressions, the humor, each with unique personalities and good vibes, allowing our bonds to grow year after year.
A good friendship tells you from the heart that every sunrise is a new opportunity to dream big and achieve your goals, without selfishness and lending a shoulder when you fall in any way (work, relationships, and even self-esteem) and encouraging you to overcome any barrier with determination, without pushing you into the abyss.
And since to be worldly, you need to see a little bit of everything in each journey, there are friendships so strong that they're disgusting, ha ha ha, amid the Venezuelan humor that reigns in our daily lives, but with respect for situations, which must endure.
