I love this, thanks for writing about friendships. For me, friendship is about giving and sharing your happiness with others and being a support when it is needed. There are friends you recognize after a short conversation, you are so similar and share a lot in common. There are friends, whom you could not recognize, but after building something together, you both open up and share and recognize each other. A friend asks you how you are doing, to share the burden and the joy in life. A friend will always support you on your way, a friend transcends opinions and life directions. A friend sees you for who you are. A friend lifts you up. Not everyone chooses to act as a friend.
