The real deal in friendship

Friendship, something that we all crave for, or is it just me?Friendship,a relationship that comes with its own kind of affection and satisfaction. Have you ever asked yourself how many people call you their friends? Have you written a list of those you consider your friend? Well, its not a recommendation or anything, just, I believe you should know where you stand.
           Friendship brings along a package of lots of goodies, like understanding, no matter how awkward I am, no matter the situation I am in. Friendship comes with sacrifices, you give your friend some of your time without expecting anything back, you come through for them in the best of your ability when they're in trouble.
         It took me quite some time, to know who my real friends are, it took me long enough to realize what kind of a friend I am. I had to improve myself, my attitude towards life, my expectation of people who are in my circle. I had to learn that its not all the time I'll be with my friends, everyone has their own life to deal with. Back then, I really wanted to spend almost all my time around my friends, it became toxic.
          When I didn't see any of my friends close to me, I got depressed, thinking they want nothing to do with me, and heck it could have been just two days. I kept wondering why would someone want to separate themselves from me, am I not lovable?
         But a time comes, when one grows up, I started living my life and doing what i needed to do, developing much more love for my hobby and practicing what I loved when I'm alone. Now I'm so busy with my life,trying to catch up with everything and realizing that there's so much to do, that time for friends becomes minimal, although I create time for each of them, and I'd like to believe they do the same too.
         There's nothing as good as meeting someone after a while and they are doing way better than the last time you met. I am happy when I see my friends progress. I want to have lifetime lasting kind of friendships, no matter who I am, where I come from, what I believe in, it is possible for me to get along with anyone, it is possible to understand that everyone has their dreams and its possible to be part of it and if I'm not, then I should just back off, and be there when they need me. That's the real deal in friendship, never tire to be there for someone because trust me, the universe does actually grant you what you give.
