Friends... they are treasures to me. They make me smile. They make me feel comfortable. They make me feel cherished. They are the ones whom I share my happiness with.
Friendship is a gift... a precious gift from God. I can proudly say that I had found true friends. Friends that I can trust. Friends that I can run to whenever I have problems. Friends that will love me whenever I feel alone. Friends that will wipe off my tears when the pain, i can't control. Friends that will listen to my crazy little talks. Friends that will say mean things in front of me and make me realize that I did wrong things but will never say these behind my back. Friends that will help me choose right decisions. Friends that will support me. Friends that will tell me, "I'll be your smile for now" whenever I feel sad. Friends that will always wish for my happiness. And mostly, friends that will accept me for who I am.
Just imagine a life without friends.To whom will you run to when you have burdens? To whom will you share your secrets?
I had experienced a lot of trials involving my friendship with other people. One experience is that I had accidentally shouted at my friend because she was insisting a thing that my other friend can't do. She was often telling that promises are meant to be broken and that my other friend can't do what he had promised to do. At first I was just letting her tell what she had to tell but after a while she was repeating and repeating what she had told him and I got a bit irritated so I had accidentally shouted at her. She stopped and walked away. I felt so guilty that I had shouted at her; I went after her, I was apologizing but she kept on saying, " Oo na! Sorry! Bobo kasi ako! Tanga ako!" I didn't mean to hurt her feelings nor do I want her to feel dumb. I tried to ask for forgiveness but she won't listen, then that's it... I cried. After a while she approached me and apologized too. Still friendship won. :)
With this experience, I realized that true friendship involves understanding. It involves humility, love and acceptance. True friendship can't be easily broken. Yes, trials may come... challenges may arise... and it is up to us to decide whether to fight for the friendship or to let these circumstances break that friendship. God gave us these challenges to prove the meaning of true friendship; He gave us these challenges to realize His gift of friends. So cherish your friends because once you lose them, they'll be hard to find. It's like finding a diamond on the rest of the floor glass.
