All of us have friends from infancy, childhood, school-age, adolescence, young adult, middle adult and late adult. They come and go, some chose to leave, some chose to stay, some just forget to stay in touch but knows how to catch up things. It's just a matter of HOW YOU VALUE AND TREASURE A FRIENDSHIP, in spite of distance.
F - un. Whatever you talk about anything under the sun, non sense or deep conversations, it's fun! You are comfortable in sharing your own thoughts, aspirations and heartaches to him/her, anytime. No dull moments even in silence.
R - espectful. Knows the real meaning of respect. Whatever your friend's decision is, you know how to respect it, especially if he/she is on his/her right age. A friend understands and knows how to humble down when things are becoming tough. You know how to remind him/her if situations are becoming worst in a nice and respectful way. Not just on your own way to boost your own feelings for your own comfort.
I - nfluential. Is there a friend who pushes you to do negative things? A good influence towards a friend will add up a positive character on him/her in making his/her own decisions in life towards success. Influencing a "Good Vibes" on a friendship will surely last.
E - ncourager. Knows how to cheer you up. Sensitive on what type of comfort you need. Pushes you more in times of giving up, not pulling you down to lessen self worth.
N - o matter what. A starting phrase of a real friend. No matter how different you are, you know how to accept each other. No matter what they will say, i will stick on your side because you are my friend. No matter what happens, I will be here. A No Matter What friend is a True Friend. A No I Don't Care friend is a Fake Friend.
D - early loved. Knows how to love and value friendship. It's like going on a place and remembering a friend who is dearly loved. Someone you'll think about if you're not with them. Someone you treat like a sister/brother or sibling. Someone who is remembered and treasured.
S - ensitive. Knows when you are sad or in need of comfort. Knows when to be silent and when to speak. Knows how to pick a right word to tell that will not hurt your feelings especially when you are down. It's like, you are not talking yet, but he/she already knows how you feel. Being initiative on one's need. Sensitive in a sense of taking care of other's feelings not causing someone to be sensitive in a sense of hurt and pain.
H - appy for one's success. Joining you in celebrating your success, not being envious. Success is more meaningful if shared. Showing support to a friend makes his/her goals more achievable.
I - will be there for you. Another favorite phrase of friendship. In times of need, in times of someone to talk to, in times of shoulder to cry on, I will be there. It's not "I" don't care about you, "I" don't care how you feel. "I" don't like you. Friendship is more on others, not always about you.
P - ersistent. Refusing to give up. Continuously saves your friendship. Consistent in showing his/her true attitude towards you and towards the others. It's normal not to communicate daily with your friends, for we all have our own priorities in life. What matters most is, you know from your heart that you persistently remember and value your friends.
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants,
for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends,
for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you."
John 15:12-15
