Friends are forever

This refers to the opinion “Friends are forever” by Nahal Naib (YW, December 21, 2019). This article is beautifully describing one’s relationship with friends. The writer used a very polite way to convey her thoughts.

Life gives us opportunities to meet many people, but we may find only a few who care more, with whom we do a lot of crazy things.

Whenever we recall such memories, a smile appears on our face. These are relationships in which distance doesn’t matter. Whatever the rest of world is thinking about you, a true friend always sees positivity within you.

So always care for those who care for you and love you unconditionally. Just make some fantastic memories with friends, because when you recall them, it will make you happy. No matter how far your friends are, true friendships never fade.

This is regarding the article “Friends are forever” by Nahal Naib. This article elaborated the true meaning of friendship and how friends make every moment memorable. A true friend accepts you with your flaws, understands you better than you understand yourself and loves you unconditionally.

This world is a judgemental place. When your friends are around you, they may tease you but will never judge you. Those who are blessed with such friends are lucky and should take care of such friendships. Friends are easy to make, but changing that friendship into an unbreakable bond takes time.
