Friends

When a smile automatically comes to your face when you hear the word friends, it’s a sign that you are living a great life. Friends are a mixture of all your emotions and love. They are like family to many.

They are there for you in your joy, sorrow, highs and lows and sometimes becomes the most important people in your life. They are like a shadow in the sun, an aid to your wounds, a hope in your life and a love in your doom.

William Shakespeare, regarded as the most eminent English writer defined friends as the one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. The definition is as beautiful as his write ups.

A friend is not a person who only loves you but also understand you and help you to scale new heights in your life. He may be a dreamer sometimes or can be realistic. A great one knows when to be a motivate us and when to caution us.

Choosing and making friends are as important, as your status in the society and your financial conditions. The problem comes when you realise that you have become close to a person who is not good for you. At that time, it becomes a dilemma whether to leave him or not. You tend to overthink what will he think about me, am I doing right or not.

But, one thing you should remember is that, a friend is someone who brings out the best in you. If the opposite is happening then that means, there is a need to change it. You can do one thing if he really means a lot to you. You can tell him that you are not happy with a certain kind of behavior and he should change it. Remember, you are doing it not just for your own benefit but also for him as well It will help him to become a better person as well.

However, if you still not satisfied, then you can either limit the conversation or end it. You must have heard surround yourself with positive people. It’s true! The environment we live in is a great factor in influencing our personality and one of the key elements is your friend circle. So, it becomes very important to have a great friend circle filled with ambition, great personality and thinking.

It is also important to have people with trust back and forth. Because believe me, breaking up with friends feels a lot worse than a breakup. So, why not choose the ones who you think will be by your side always.

As people have different perspectives, some say that having a large friend circle is better others say that quality matters and a smaller circle is the best. Everyone has their opinion. You cannot change that, you can only express yours.

Personally, I have a small friend circle (circle of trust as I say it). I prefer to have few trustworthy people around me. But even in this small group, I can see variety of thoughts. Some are crazy, others are mature, some believes in creativity, others are realistic, sometimes, they support me in realizing my dreams and sometimes, they correct me when I am doing anything wrong. But, the one thing that is common is that they are always there for me and are irreplaceable. Having a smaller group is beneficial, as you are closer to your circle, The closer your bond, the better.

As I have a small group, I think it is better but that doesn’t mean that having a large friend circle is wrong. It has its own benefits. You can get to know many people, understand them and develop new perspectives but sometimes it becomes difficult to maintain the level of charm with everyone at the same time.

Friendship is a feeling which cannot be expressed in words. But, its importance is indispensable. As it is a combination of all the feelings, it just changes in every situation. It becomes care when you are with your family, it becomes fun when you are with your mates and it becomes love when you are with your partner. I just want to say that I am proud to have the friends I have and will always be. This blog is dedicated to them.
