To Titivate Friendship

Friends are hard to find. But when you discover them, they should be treated like jewelry. They need constant polishing so that their presence would shine. You have to securely keep them as their value is like treasure. Checking on them from time to time is highly encouraged to see if they are properly taken cared of. Just like jewelry, they are in need of regular cleaning, soaking or pampering! Like jewelry, a friend may want a shoulder to cry on, a tight hug, a listener, sometimes a punching bag, an audience or just a mere company. It is even more bewildering to think why friends still hang together after a terrible disagreement or exhausting argument. Friendship is never measured by the number of happy moments together. Rather, it is calculated on the ability to survive trials and soar from the attempts to crash friendship. Hence, friends survive each others’ hang-ups and idiosyncrasies. In true friendship, acceptance of faults, shortcomings or individual indifference is never difficult. Friends can stay all day or night doing nothing without getting bored with each other. It’s funny as friends develop almost the same kind of sense of humor. They share some sort of meeting of the minds, no wonder it is possible for friends to burst to laughter for reasons only they can understand. They can also develop techniques or skills to communicate through eye contacts and body gestures. Acceptance or approval can also be made tacitly with fewer propensities for mistakes or misinterpretation. It’s quite exhilarating to enumerate the foolish things most people would do for the sake of friendship.

I know friendship may be thorny at times but being prickled by true friendship makes the relationship more enhanced and significant. I remember my friend saying she would trade me for a LV designer bag but I exactly know she meant the opposite. Unlike jewelry, true friendship is priceless. No amount can quantify the joy and happiness that can be instilled by friendship in relationships.

Oh I wish I can say more and make friendship more appealing to everyone. The more I endeavor to dress it up, the more I am short of description. Friendship is not all elation but it is certainly fulfilling. Cheers to all my friends who share my sentiments about friendship. For those who disagree, worry not, because I would still love you anyway. No matter how I titivate friendship, there is one ultimate truth I cannot ignore ….. A stray friend will usually find his way back to his true friends.
