How Much Real Friendships Last?

When you hear the word “real,” what pops up into your head? A thing, a rumour, an event, a moment in your life that you wanna relive…or simply just a person, your relationship with them?

People were created in a way they can communicate and bond through different ways. Maybe they’re in love? Or are they just friends? Can they even be two strangers meeting on the bus on their way home and sneak views at each other? Of course, but the real question is… who really knows?

Everyone has their secrets and thoughts that they might or might not share with anyone. Everyone has different stories and that’s beautiful about humanity… you can be able to share what you feel with the ones around you.

Sometimes you just feel like you “click” with a certain person and it’s like you’ve known each other since forever and that’s how friendships are born.

Friendships have ups and downs but a real one has to experience both for the two to know that they can still count on each other, they can still act weird together and communicate only through looks. They know when the other’s the happiest or when they are hurt and in need of cheering up.

Friends can be closer to you, but also far far away. But what happens when the ones that are away understand you better than the ones there?

Internet friends are such beautiful persons, and the moment you finally meet feels like the world stops in place and it’s just you and the person behind the screen that you’ve waited for so long to hug so tight! It’s one of the most unique feeling you could ever experience, and you know it only when it hits you.

The person who said you can’t have friends on the other side of the country or the world was for sure not aware of what a power internet has, especially in our time!

Real friendships last forever. You grow up together, you grow old together, you learn from each other and from your mistakes. However, sometimes life can just make you grow apart... and well... while it's hard to say that it doesn't hurt to lose your bestie, it's alright and you can get through it. Friendship breakups suck but hey, if it's meant to be, you'll eventually cross paths again one day.

Sometimes it’s better to simply let them go when you feel like it's just not working anymore, but don’t do it before you try to fix it! Communication is key!

So with that being said, you can now ask yourself if you’re happy with the friends you have, if you click with them and support each other just like in the beginning or if it’s better to let go.

Go tell your friends how much you love them and how thankful you are for them or even give them a big fat hug because it matters. You matter!

FRIENDS, this post is dedicated to you. Cheers to friendships and the memories we create and keep in our hearts forever!
