When you think of the word 'friends' or 'friendship', what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I guess some vivid memories that excite you to the deepest down, a person or a bunch of people so close and attached to you that losing them gives a sore feeling.
I wonder what origin came up with the term 'friend', a pure relationship of understanding, forgiveness unforgetful memories, even if you lose contact. Old English 'frēond' means 'one attached to another by feelings of personal regard and preference', from Proto-Germanic 'frijōjands', meaning 'lover, friend'.
Sometimes I wonder what true friendship is. As I tend to shift houses every two years because of my father’s job. So, I get to meet new people every two years, which means new friends every two years. To be very honest, it's very hectic to settle in a new place and adjust to new people, and most importantly find FRIENDS or people of the same interest, basically good friends. Although I get to meet new people that’s a perk to shifting places, some people are just hard to let go of, and when I say that you meet many along the way of life but only some stay with you forever, I mean it as its basically more of a personal experience. So, when I give it a thought, is it just hanging out with your friends, spending time together, is that all? Well, actually no, this six-letter word has too much meaning to it.
A friend is someone who stands up for you. When others try to hurt you emotionally or physically, they do everything they can to make sure you stay safe. They don't care who is trying to harm you; they will defend you anytime, anywhere. If they can help you, they'll do it without reservation or reward. A true friend consistently has your back and answers you with empathy, perspective, and honesty. You can be your true self around them and rely on them to the fullest. Rich or poor, a true friend always accepts you, neglecting all the differences. They want what’s really best for you, true friendship doesn’t abandon you.
Friendship is one of the greatest bonds anyone can ever wish for. Lucky are those who have friends they can trust. I finally found the people I could term as 'friends', finally found the people who immensely cared for me, who were there for me when I really needed someone, but in the end, I had to leave them. They’re the friends who I had to leave, but can’t forget and I am still in contact with. I’m so grateful to have met them. True friends are basically blessings and hard to find. Once you find them, cherish them, they are pure keepers.
