Make friendship a priority
Try to make more time for friends. Friends are chapters of our lives that we share ourselves with, making our lives more complete and filled with color and meaning.
Note the little things
Standing by your friends during a difficult times is important. But seemingly small acts of caring are what keeps friendships going. A good friend cares a lot, and is sensitive to the needs of the other.
Risk being yourself
There comes a time in all friendships when you must open up and express your deepest feelings. Let your friend know what you think and how you feel and how you are going through a certain situation. Friends have ears to listen to what you will say and they can lend you a shoulder to cry on.
Accept differences
You have got to have enough in common so that you will understand each other and enough difference so that there is something to be shared and exchanged.
Do not keep score of wrongs
When you forgot about settling your issues, do not pin point who has faults. Better try to settle everything by taking time to talk to each other, giving each other the chance to explain his or her side. Be more giving. The more you give, the more you make more friends.
Laugh with your friends
They say that laughter is the best medicine. Laughter can brighten a friend's day and can even bring friends closer. A short joke for the day can lighten up a friend's moment even just for minutes.
Let your friends be generous
It may be better or best to give, but it is also good to receive. In a friendship it is better to let your friends know that you also need them as much as they need you. Just as you feel very happy to help a friend of yours, try to give them a chance to help you. Because a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Remember
that being a friend is not only sharing life in just good times. Being a true friend takes making sacrifices and making compromises. Not only that, you laugh together. Shedding tears together, and being reliable to your friends is very important.
