I love to spend time with my friends because I can totally unwind with them. Around my friends, I can be myself free from judgment. To me, this is a priceless feeling.
My closest friends are an extension of me and vice versa. My friends can understand how I am feeling by simply looking at me, and they always know what to do or say to boost my spirits when I am feeling down.
I love my friends dearly because they are truly devoted to maintaining our friendship. For this reason, I ensure that I constantly nurture our bond.
When my friends need me, I am there in a heartbeat. Even though we have our differences at times, our bond is undeniable. If all parties involved give an honest effort, I know that in 30 years we are still going to care for each other.
Undoubtedly, my spouse is my best friend and most of my time is devoted to my significant other. However, I am well aware that it is healthy to have friendships outside of my marriage.
My friends are truly a blessing. Therefore, I ensure that I am always supportive of their decisions, even if they’re not in keeping with my personal beliefs.
I often make nice gestures, such as sending a bouquet of flowers for their birthdays or picking them up the newly released DVD of their favorite movie.
Today, I give my best friends a call and set up a lunch date. I am confident that we can maintain our friendships even with our daily responsibilities in life.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Are my friendships healthy?
2. In my friendships, am I more of a giver than a taker?
3. Am I willing and able to be there for my close friends when they need me?
