True friendship is a bond of the soul. It is not born by chance, it is built with trust, honesty and love that asks for nothing in return.
It's the calm certainty that you have a person who understands you without you having to explain, who supports you without judging you, who is there simply because they care.
A true friend loves every version of yourself, makes you feel the freedom to be yourself without fear or doubt. They are by your side in the easy and difficult times that can arise in life. They are there to rejoice with your joy but also to share your sadness. They will stand by you to help in the difficult moments of your life until a solution is found and until you overcome what you are facing and feel better.
It is very important, however, that there is reciprocity between friends.
Mutual love, trust, understanding, respect, care every day.
Trust is the root of this relationship. When it exists, it gives strength and light to friendship, when it is lost, everything goes dark.
Doubts hurt, because where there should be certainty, fear nests. And if one friend begins to doubt the other, then the friendship ceases to be true. It becomes an acquaintance, without soul, without depth.
In today's era, when everything changes quickly and human relationships are often tested by selfishness, comparison and haste, true friendship is harder to find. It requires a pure heart, patience and the faith that there are still people who love truly, without self-interest, without conditions.
True friends don't need proof. They know that the other's heart is pure, that the intention is pure. They don't look for faults, they don't count who gave more. They simply share moments, silences, joys and sorrows, with a rare beauty, the beauty of true trust.
Because friendship is not just a word
The light of true friendship is a refuge. And when it is true, it stays forever. Like the light that never goes out, no matter how many years pass, no matter how many distances come between...
