Friendship is one of the priceless gift in the world and they come for free.

It takes just a smile sometimes to make a friend. Other times it takes an act of kindness or having something in common. The good thing about this is, you never see it coming, it happens in unexpected places and it last for a lifetime.

I've made friends from different parts of the earth, and I can tell you that good friends are the spice to life. They hold you down when you're falling apart, cheer you up when having a bad day, motivate you to reach your goals and make you feel loved. Do I even talk about the endless laughter, the tears , promises and hugs? The ones that believes in your dreams and root for you to reach your goals.

Sometimes I wonder what life will be like without good friends. It would have been very depressing, cause I can't imagine how much we have to hide our emotions when we are tearing apart with no one to express how we feel and no one to lean on. This is why isolating ourselves when we are hurting does more harm than good.

Good friende provide us with support: both emotional and mental, adding balance to our lives. What other gift can be better than this in human form? As social beings we all crave love and desire to be loved in return. Which is why friendship affords us a chance to show empathy and care to someone. It also create an avenue to be a good listener and express loyalty through our words and deeds.

Unfortunately, some people find it so hard to make friends because of their nature. Some are very shy to start a conversation so they avoid mingling with people even in a social setting.

Since we are now in a digital world, many hide behind their keypad to make friends from all over the world just by sharing their daily activities, pictures and even through chats.

Genuine friends require spending quality time together. Getting to know each other, seeing each other at their worst and still choosing the person over and over again.

There's this peace in knowing you've got your person no matter how tough it gets on the way.

To have a friend you must be a friend. Give out the same energy you would love to receive. Show kindness, personal interest and genuine love. Friends are like guardians, helping you walk on the right path, watching out for you and providing valuable tips to help you weather the storm.

I hope we all take a moment to appreciate good friends we've got because without them, life would have been a difficult journey. Show gratitude to those who have stuck with you through thick and thin and has been a comforter when the going went South.

Preserve all the beautiful memories you've shared with them and hold on to them, because you both will never be this young again. However, your friendship will continue to wax stronger if you both put in the same effort to make it work.

Cheers to the gift of friendship. It makes life worth living!
