Being a real friend is a tremendous responsibility. You have to be loyal, honest, sincere, reliable, dependable, friendly, pleasant, open, responsive, welcoming and gracious.♥️

You also have to be forgiving at times, be prepared to offer help, support and sympathy.????

At the same time, you don’t have to be taken advantage of nor have the wool pulled over your eyes. And you may have to be brutally candid at times and be prepared to risk the friendship by being so.❤️‍????

Yet equally there are times you need to hold your tongue and keep your opinion to yourself. They are your friends, not clones of you – they do things differently.????

You have to be counsellor, confessor, priest, helper, companion, confidant and comrade. You have to offer the friendship enthusiasm, dedication, determination, creativity, interest, passion and drive????

You will be there to give them good advice. You will be there just to listen at times. You will be there when you don’t want to be. You will be there when all their other friends have fallen by the wayside. You will be there no matter what.????

Someone once said that a real friend is someone can be having a conversation with as they get on a plane, you don’t see them for ten years and when they arrive back they carry on the conversation as they get off the plane like a moment hadn’t passed. That’s exactly how it is between good friends ????️????
