In times of crisis and struggles, we all want someone to turn to. Relationships are important, and therefore friends are important. The word ‘Friendship’ doesn’t quite fit into a single definition, it’s a relationship that cannot be described using words.

Even though I am not a social butterfly, quality counts more for me than quantity does. While it’s good to cultivate a diverse network of friends and acquaintances, I have nurtured a few true friendships over the years.

When I find myself going through a hard time, my friends help me get through it. When I find myself not feeling good about myself, my friends are the ones who lift me up. When I find myself in between sobs, my friends are the ones who make me laugh. When the world turns its back at me, my friends are right there by my side. True friends are the ones who are there for you when you need them the most, and the importance of friendship in our life is beyond any explanation.

During our childhood, friendships help us grow and develop. We play and learn together with friends. As teenagers, friends become all the more important as we go through numerous emotional, physical and mental changes. As adults, friends help us go through the emotional upheavals or the “mid-life crisis” as we endure an entirely new set of problems. I suppose friends are equally important during old-age too, I see my grand dad’s face beaming with laughter and smiles when he is around his friends!

When we cultivate a close circle of friends, living life becomes just a teeny tiny bit easier. On that note, a very Happy Friendship Day to everyone who reads my posts here on WordPress, young or old. I am truly grateful for this WordPress community!

    I love this post because you’re so right! Our friends, the true friends, help us through so much and I’m ever grateful for them! We rely on each other and even ‘mother’ each other when needed. It’s a great feeling.

    Thanks for following one of my blogs. I haven’t had the same “quality” experiences with “friends” as others have had. I have been the one who has gotten me through every ordeal of my life, along with God’s strength and guidance. I think friends are over rated and so is family. Life really comes down to your relationship with yourself and God as you understand him or her. Because in the end, that is where you are heading if you are a Christian. It is about God, not me or you.

    In addition, check out my post on the 4 ingredients of a relationship. That is how you can tell if you are in any type of healthy relationship, from a basic friend to a lover.

    Definitely quality over quantity! Having said that, I’ve found that having a large quantity of friends to be a good thing, because it can surprise me which ones turn out to be the quality friendships.

    I truly like your post on friendship and you are absolutely correct that friends are important in our lives and they are there for us when we need them. I would like to add that “friends are definitely few and far between.

    I look forward to reading more of your posts. Your writing is simplistic but on point! God bless you abundantly.
