What kind of friend would you love to have? One whom you can freely talk to without being judged, or confide in confident that your good secrets are safe with him or her? One who is loyal and dependable? One who truly understands you? Or would you prefer a fairweather kind?
To tell you the truth, you aren't being choosy in this. And you aren't alone in your choice of friends. Afterall, who wouldn't want to be around a caring, supportive friend, especially since the choice of friendship is unaguably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life? Indeed, our friends are capable of impacting us strongly either positively or otherwise.
Yes, it's always easy for us to say what kind of friend(s) we want to have without stopping awhile to ponder what kind of friends we ourselves are or would want to be to others. Isn't that selfish of us🤷😆? (just joking).
As a young person, it's important to stop sometimes and reflect what kind of person you are growing up to become; a kind, dependable, understanding and approachable person. Because if you truly want to have such friends with the aforementioned admirable qualities, you've got to be one such yourself.
Granted, we are not born with such good qualities. However, we are endowed with the capacity to cultivate them as we interact with others and learn from our own experiences.
Next time you stop to list the qualities you desire in a true friend, remember to improve on or cultivate such qualities yourself. That would make it easy to find a true, loving, caring and understanding friend.
Ask yourself: 'Am I a TRUE Friend?'
