True friends are hard to come by, but will remain in your heart no matter where life takes you. They may not be the people you see everyday, or even every week, but they will be there for you whenever you need them. True friends love you for who you are, and don't abandon you when things get too tough.
Are They a True Friend?
True friends love and accept you for who you are. They don't try to change you, yet they have a uniquely subtle way of encouraging you to be better; and expect the same from you. Anyone who allows someone to continue harmful or destructive behavior is not being much of a friend, even when the other person doesn't see it as being harmful.
When the truth hurts or is hard to see, a true friend will still be honest with you and will tell you what you need to hear, even if it's not what you want to hear. They also know that you will do the same with them. True friends love you enough to fight for you and fight with you, and do whatever they can to help you through the trials life may bring. No matter how hard or messy life gets, and regardless of the miles or time that separates you, they will be there.
True friends become not only a part of your life, but a part of your family. Memories are made and a place is made in your heart for that friend. No matter if you stay close or slowly drift apart, that place in your heart and the memories you made, will always remain. You may even find yourself now reminiscing about someone that you haven't heard from in 15 or 20 years and think, 'They were a true friend'.
A true friendship isn't about how long you have been friends; it's about how good of friends you were. I have had many people come into my life for only a short time, and be what I believe were true friends. Most friendships will not last a lifetime, but just because a friendship doesn't last a lifetime, doesn't mean it wasn't true.
