Friends are some of the biggest blessings in our lives. Just like family, they're always there and love you no matter what. No friendship is the same and there is no one definition to describe friendship, but here is what friendship means to me.
1. Friendship is limitless.
There are no terms and no dos or donts. These are the people that will be there through every phase of your life. Friendship has no start or end; it's about love, life, sadness, forgiveness, and everything in between.
2. Friendship is shameless.
With friends, you are open to be yourself, and they will always be there simply because they are your friends. You don't need to hold back or feel embarrassed about something. Friendship is openly telling your best friend the grossest thing you've done with no shame in the world.
3. Friendship is about supporting each other.
You might not always agree with each other, and you might even be polar opposites, but friends are always there to tell you that they're there for you. Even if it's figuring out what text to send or as far as picking a career path, friends have your back and tell you their honest opinion.
4. Friendship is brutal honesty.
They are the people that will tell you how it is without the sugarcoating. When you need to hear something they will be the ones to tell you without hesitation. And most importantly, they do it out of good intent and for your own benefit. Friends help keep you grounded.
5. Friendship is forgiveness.
True friendship is a rarity, and once you've found it, it's powerful enough to overcome anything.
6. Friendship is overcoming those awkward gaps.
There is no such thing as a perfect friendship or a true definition to abide by. Things will change, but ultimately a friend will always a be a friend. True friendship is permanent, these are the people meant to stay in your life forever.
7. Friendship is about love.
You fall in love in countless different ways, and there's no love like the love you have for your friends. At one point in time they were complete strangers and you somehow met and became a big part of each others lives. Friendship is about doing anything for your friends.
8. Friendship is about you.
Friendship is about opening yourself to others and letting someone else into your life. It's about sharing some of your best memories with other people. It's about openly being you without a care in the world.
