Cultivating and Maintaining True Friendships

True friends happen to be one of the greatest joy and blessings in life. Friends there may be; but a true friend is really a gem that has to be cultivated, treasured and maintained to make sure that its shine lasts forever. When you were young you had many friends with whom you laughed joked exchanged secrets and all in all had a wonderful time. During this period in life, it was so simple to say I have 100 of friends and we love each other very much. As you grow older however, values change, ideas vary and situation make it difficult to maintain 100 of friends. Not that you forget them, but everyone drifts away to lives of their own and you discover that only a few are left with whom you can really talk and pour your heart out to.

No matter what anyone says, true friendship has to be cultivated and maintained. You just cannot say so and so is my friend for life and just forget about her until you need her again. Never ever take advantage of a friend. Be there for each other, be strong and supportive but never bossy. True friendship is a 2 way game. One can bring a cute smile on his or her friends face by sending some sweet friendship sms. You cannot expect to have your friend come running every time you are in problem or need her greatly but make excuses when you have to go and see her when she wants your help. Even if you live far away from each other, keep in touch by calling her whenever you can. In these days of high technology, communication is not a problem at all, phoning, e-mailing or even an sms to find out how she is could make a large difference to a friend who is feeling sad and blue.

Always keep in mind significant events in her life such as her birthday, graduation, Christmas and later on her marriage and the birth of her first born. Be there to share her joy as well as her sorrow in times of sadness. This is what true friendship is all about. If you can't be present, make sure you send her a card and a small gift so that she knows you are thinking of her.

True friendship also means listening to your friend when she wants to converse. You might be the only one she feels she can converse to. Listen to her without interrupting and lend your shoulder for her to cry on. Be in touch with your classmates, friends and people you meet by sending SMS.

Finally, never, ever take your friend for granted. You may think she's there for you always and there's no need to call or visit her. Friends are also human and they have to know you're there for her the same way she's there for you whenever you need a true friend. If you appreciate true friendship, go that extra mile and be the kind of friend who is more valuable than any gem in the world.
