A true friend is not measured by how much time you spend together, how often you see them or how many times you call them on a daily basis. A true friend is much more than staying up all night, getting drunk and walking next to each other with the worst hangover of your life.
A true friend is measured by how much someone really sees you for who you really are.
It can be seen in a person’s willingness to stand up for you when life tries to knock you down. In a person’s devotion to you. In a person’s unconditional love for you no matter how flawed and imperfect you may be. In a person’s commitment to always be there for you, in good and in bad. In a person’s loyalty. Compassion. Empathy. Honesty.
The truth is, these people are rare. So, if you happen to come across a few of them in this journey called life, consider yourself very lucky. And hold on to them very tightly. For this world that we live in today is rotten. This world of ours doesn’t care about love.
The older you get, the more you’re going to realize that friendships are truly the most important thing in a person’s life.
The more time passes by, the more you’re going to cherish the people who were always there for you…
The real ones. The true friends.
A true friend is a gift from heaven. The greatest blessing in life.
A true friend is someone who knows your flaws and loves you anyway.

A true friend is someone who believes in you even when the whole world is against you.
A true friend is someone who listens to you talk until you finally forget about what stressed you out and made you sad.
A true friend is someone who is there for you to wipe your tears, hold your hand, inspire you and encourage you to never give up.
A true friend is someone who compliments you behind your back and says bad things in your face.
A true friend is someone who knows the song of your heart.
A true friend is someone who has your back, no matter what.
A true friend is someone who is not afraid to get out of their way to be there for you. To help you, to support you, to show you that they care.
A true friend is someone who does everything to reassure you that you can always trust them and count on them when life gets tough and uncomfortable.
Make no mistake. True friendship is not about who you’ve known the longest and who you’ve spent your whole life with. It’s about who came into your world, fell in love with the real you, promised to stay forever by your side and proved it.
