A True Friend

🎶True friends love you when you're down,
Happy when you're up,
Right by your side when trials come.
Speak up if you're wrong,
Commend you when you're right...🎵

Isn't it beautiful? That is a song that interprets what is a true friend means.
For you what is a true friend? Is it the one who can make you happy and a good companion? Or is it the one that influenced you badly?
Sometimes, people want to have a friend 'coz they know that they can get benefits from it. But, can you get a true friend if your ONLY purpose is to get the benefit out of that person?

There's a woman who has a lot of friends on her social media account (Facebook). She got almost 1000 friends. But sadly, NO ONE ever replied to her when she asks for help before she commits suicide. How awful, isn't it? Why do you think it happens? Do you think she finds her true friend out of that 1000 FB friends?

A true friend is not just a companion. He can help you when problems arise. He can sticks to you closer than a brother. And you can say that he was born, to help you with your circumstances.
So how can you choose a true friend?
Choose the one who has the same belief, perspective, viewpoint, and philosophy as you. It might be hard at first, but when you found that one, it's worth it. He can support you physically, spiritually, and sometimes financially.
Some people can't find their true friends. Do you know why? They search for the wrong place. For example, some tend to accept a friend whoever, wherever, and whatever it is. Indeed, you can easily find a new friend online or on any social media account. But, many people are pretentious online. And for sure, we don't want to have a friend who is just pretending and not sincere in his words. So, instead of searching for your true friend online, why not try to find it in your place? Remember that being a true friend doesn't mean that you need to have the same age or even culture.

I'm happy that I have true friends right now. And I know that they are faithful and can be my true friend continuously, maybe forever.
One of them is named Shiela.
We've known each other personally. I consider her one of my so-called "true friends". We didn't grow on the same family, lifestyle, beliefs, or even place. But I'm happy that I met this person. I know that I can depend on her when a problem occurs. I know that she's always there to say something if I was wrong. See? If I found one, I'm sure you can find one too. 😊

A very close friend is one of the best friends because that's where we can confide in and also share stories really well because of course we already trust each other and I also have friends like that.
Having a true friend is an instant story buddy. No need to search for someone to tell your tales. 😅
Having a true and good friend is priceless. We do feel who are those close and real friends. Sometimes it is better to have one good friend than be surrounded by many of those who are false friends. :)
That's right @mipiano. Quality over quantity. What you will do with a lot of friends if they can't even listen to your stories? Better to have 1 that's sincere and true.
Exactly :)
Also, we have to take care of our friends and work on it, it's a relationship that has to be nourished with respect, understanding, care and love! We can have more of these friends, but for sure, we feel those that are the closest ones ;)
Yeah. Efforts for both of you are needed to sustain a strong friendship.
This is absolutely true :)
Oiiii, that's Sc hehe. She's so busy na I don't see her much na rc and nc hehe. And you are lucky you two found each other. Ang saya kaya if you have this close friend na kasama mo tru ups and down ❤️
Oii ruffaaaa... Hahaha, and I'm happy I found you here rin. 😅 Oo si sc nga yan. Busy na yung babaeng yun. May online job na kasi, and full time sya dun. Kaya yun ata focus nya for now.
Hehehe, buti nag join kana din ditoooo. Masaya din naman sito no hehe. Marami pa tayong ka Pilipino dito pakalat kalat lang sila somewhere haha.
Ay sana all talaga kay Sc, sa Insta ko nalang sya nakikita ee. Maganda nga un maganda na career nya hshs
Oo. Nangailangan e, di na kasi ko makawork online kaya kinareer ko tong hive haha. Hirap pag full time mom. 😅 Kakatuwa nga makita mga kakilala na rin sa read.cash tas noise dito. Mga familiar na din yung iba e
This close friend is almost the same as a relative, who is always there when needed, then we should also be grateful if we have close friends.
Yeah. That's true. You better treasure that friend if you have one.
I always do that because friends are there when I'm having a hard time.
a true friend is one who accepts us in trouble or joy, I hope you always get along until you are old
I'm praying for that too. I'm not a friend who always keeps in touch. That's my problem with maintaining a friend. 🙈

All you have said above sis are true. But now a days, its very hard to find someone you can consider a true friend. Honestly, I am a friendly person but I am not easily get attach to someone anymore. I think, I am just being cautious now especially that I was betrayed before.
You have your reason not to trust anybody. And you're right, it's hard to find true and sincere friends nowadays. But I'm sure someone is searching too, maybe you'll find that person soon.
Hopefully. But for now, I am just enjoying being with myself and few people around.

To have a true friendship is a great blessing.
I have a friend that I miss very much, I don't have him around anymore because he emigrated, communicating with him has been complicated for several reasons, I hope he is doing very well.
Yeah. They are truly a blessing. I hope you and your friend meet each other again soon. I'm sure there are a lot of things to catch up. 😅
it's good to have a good friend.
@mayt you are right,we shouldn't search true friends online because we don't know most things about them but our childhood friends and other friends we have can understand us.
I got your post through @dreamport
Yes. Better to have friends that you truly know. The one that you've known longer or even those who are new but shows sincerity. Better to treasure them. 😉
True friend are rare. And when we have one we should make sure we appreciate them with all our hearts. That’s the definition to a true friend.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. That’s what I count friendship to be. It’s a pity to hear about the woman on Facebook.
Yeah. It's common nowadays. People are committing suicide without even friends on their side. So better search now and treasure them dearly.
Fact.. 👍👍👍
It's best when we have a true friend who will be there for us. They say it is better to have one good friend than 99 bad friends who only pretend to be there for you.
You both are beautiful 😍😍
I found your post through Dreemport 🤗
That's right. Just what others said, quality vs quantity. Ohh, thank you for the compliment and for commenting as well. 😊🤗
