Friendship is a beautiful and special kind of relationship, it’s about having a connection and a bond with someone who understands you so deeply and knows you so well. It’s something we often take for granted too. Sometimes we need to be reminded of why friendship is so incredibly special.



Good friends are vitally important to your mental health and to the quality of your life. To live and to love are inseparable from each other. Friendship is an opportunity to love, to learn about yourself, to mature as a human being, and to open up to the full experience of life. To seek true friendship, you must have the courage to risk all that you are. You must have the courage to walk through your fear of emotional intimacy and let another person know who you really are on the inside. On a very practical level, you must be willing to invest the necessary time and effort to develop, nourish, and maintain the bonds of a strong relationship.
 
Friends take time. You have to call them and make the effort to be with them. You have to be willing to let them get to know you and it has to go deeper than just the superficial stuff. You have to respect them enough to allow for disagreement in your relationship, and allow your friend the freedom to be different from you without censure. A friend has to be important enough for you to make a significant space for them in your life and in your heart.
 
When is the last time you had a genuine conversation with a close friend? Regardless of the content of your discussion, you felt better afterward, right?  And more importantly, it did indeed contribute to your overall level of happiness as well.
