What Is Friendship?
It is an in-depth relationship combining trust, support, communication, loyalty, understanding, empathy, and intimacy.
These are certainly aspects of life that all of us crave.
Being able to trust and relax with your friend is a big part of friendship.
Remember
when you were young and went with a friend to her grandma's for the
week-end. It was fun but when you got home, home was wonderful. Your
feeling was "I'm home. I can relax now."
That's what a friendship should be.
You
go out into the world and do your best. You have your ups and downs,
your problems and triumphs, your fun and tribulations. You charm and
you perform.
Then you come "home" to a friend. You can relax,
put up your feet; you are relieved. If you still have to be charming
and/or performing, it's not a relief.
Friendship is a comfy situation like home. You get home, kick off your shoes, relax and sigh, "Ahh, home."
