A lot of relationships don’t stand the test of time. It’s a harsh reality check, but that doesn’t make it less real. But your true friends will always be there for you and knowing that you can count on someone and that someone can count on you is an amazing feeling that we all should experience throughout the years.

You Can Be Yourself

One of the most important and beautiful things about friendship is knowing that you can be yourself. You have spent so much time with your friends that you can read each other’s thoughts. No need for justifying your actions or explaining what you meant to say or do. You can be yourself, you are comfortable in their presence and you don’t judge each other. Isn’t life beautiful?

No Awkward Silence

You don’t have to fill the awkward silence with meaningless conversation because things are never awkward between you and your friends. There is nothing forced or fake about your friendship and being true in a world full of masks is a rare and amazing thing to do.

Happiness Seems Easy

You can have fun and be happy with your friends by doing all sorts of things and by doing nothing, too. Happiness seems easy when you are surrounded by people with similar interests.

You Laugh Hard

You spend so much time laughing and feeling good. Your sense of humor is understood by your friends and appreciated. You know that laughter is the key to happiness and to a healthy life. So you make the best of your time when meeting friends.

You Learn not to Take Things Seriously

When you get carried away or when you start taking things too seriously, your friends will help you unwind, keep you grounded but also mock you a bit to make you see where you are doing things wrong.

You Become a Better Person

A true friend will be honest with you even if truth is a hard pill to swallow. A true friend knows that the best thing for you is to hear things how they really are, even if this means you getting upset on them. Friends want what’s best for you so they will help you become a better person by pointing out your flaws and mistakes and giving you a solid piece of advice. You will always be subjective regarding your own life, actions and decisions so seeing things from someone else’s point of view can be healthy. It can help you reconsider things, find solutions to your problems and improve your flaws.

You Know You Have Someone You Can Rely On

You know that if something bad happens, you can count on them any time of the day.
