It just feels so good to have someone who understands, someone you can call when you need it, someone you can tell your secrets, or simply someone you can celebrate and laugh with…
Main life lessons, we learn simply in Kindergarten:
- Have fun
- Take a nap
- If you are going out, bring your friend
Friendships are one of the most beautiful things in life. It just feels so good to have someone who understands, someone you can call when you need it, someone you can tell your secrets, or simply someone you can celebrate and laugh with.
What does friendship mean?
Some friendships are made very early in life, many of them we do not keep later in life. It is totally okay, because we are changing, growing and becoming more different, so separation is completely right. But those we keep in grown-up days, those we call lifetime friendships. They are more family than just friends.
Some friendships are made in high school, or later in college. Hmm, let’s discuss these ones.
Friendships in college are groups of people who might be taking the same classes, we click with them, we might study together or go having fun. Very often the groups of friendships we make in Freshman year are completely different from the friendship groups we participated in during the last year of college.
I deeply believe people are constantly growing and changing, and as you are getting your life together, you are discovering who you really are.
Before you start searching for friends or lovers, I would kindly ask you to read the following suggestions and think about them:
The first step is looking out for yourself.
Do not be steady about staying in the same friendships, forcing that relationship. If you belong to the same group for a long time, give yourself permission to leave that group when you find out you are too different from the rest, or if that group energy is making you uncomfortable or is forcing you to be someone you are not.
So before anything, make sure to know who you are, and then commit. While in the process of looking for yourself, feel free to enjoy friendships with people from different backgrounds, different ages, different financial situations, different schools… That is how you grow as a human being.
Romance
Some friendships may develop into romantic relationships. There is a trick about this. Before you turn your friendship to the next level of intimacy, give yourself a minute (or a few) to think about benefits and consequences.
Think about is it just one-night stand thing, is it true love, or you just think your friend is extremely attractive. Make the difference between your true intentions and you will have an answer.
Would the next level ruin what you have or would it be natural progress into an emotional romantic relationship? Some people claim that the best relationships are coming from friendships. What do you think?
The most important thing is to be the best friend to yourself first. Love yourself more than anyone ever before and after. Only that way you could be a great friend or lover.
What friendship means to you?
While you are thinking about it, share this article with your friends, or simply with others to inspire them to love more and to be friendly towards others… and who knows, someone may become your next best friend and in a few years be your best man 🙂
