A True Friend is a Life Long Relationship
You have come to understand you have only one friend, and you are okay with the realization.
Why? Because over your lifetime, you have had several friends. Each friend seems to be entering and exiting your life at the appropriate time.
Each of these friends plants something valuable in your life:
- That you are not alone.
- What trust really means.
- How to apologize.
- How to have fun.
You appreciate each of these relationships because they left you a better person. Sometimes they left you sad, but even the sadness was a valuable lesson.
C.S. Lewis notes, “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
You found the friend that even if you sit in silence, it is not uncomfortable.
