HOW TO KNOW A TRUE FRIEND (WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?)

A friend is not one whom you have known all your life, a friend is not one who you share your room with.  A true friend is one who reprimands you when you do wrong but hold no grudges,  a true friend is one who doesn't need anything from you but your presence.   A true friend is one who loves you enough to honestly tell you the truth always in a loving way even though it hurts.  A true friend is one who is loyal and has got your back anytime way beyond distance. True friendship is not measured by time, days or decades but it is measured by how deep and how well two people have known each other. Don't force friendship, let it come naturally or you will get dragged by the ear or be bullied. Stay around people who need you in their life even when you have nothing to offer. Even when you are separated from them, nothing changes. That’s because they are real.  A strong friendship doesn’t need daily conversations and togetherness. We meet people everyday but we c
