Friendships are some of the most beautiful bonds we experience in life. Not everyone has the opportunity of making good friends, it took me time before I understood the true value of friendship and who a true friend is.

Personally, I do refer to my close friends as brothers because these are guys who are ready to move HEAVEN and earth for me to make things soft around me. I remember when i was framed of killing Someone that drowned at a beach, the guy was also a friend but not a brotherly close friend, he drowned after going deep inside the after the wave, I remember some said some people said I gave him doze or drugs that day, it wasn't a funny experience then that it almost traumatized me back then it was this friends that stood by me I! as even at home and I did not go there that day. This is what I call true friendship that I can never forget in my life.
A true friend is mostly referred to as brotherly in the society I grew up in. Not everyone is referred to that; those slangs we use to identify who is truly around us and how they can be trusted among other friends. A true friend also introduced me to Hive. He made me see value in crypto and also put me through. Funny, I know some people here on Hive that we did talk before now, but they did not show me this opportunity. This is the value of true friendship. Life is great when we choose the right person and we are on the right track of who we are, and trust me, we can't escape life alone, we need solid ground friends to move us to the right track on the way to follow.

I have been a good and bad friend to people also, same way guys have also been a good and person to me, we are not always the hero in everyone stories, sometimes we are the villain and we funny enough we dont really know we are the villain until we are told who we are, but there is one thing that differentiates me from others is that I have a good heart, no matter how far ir how bad some has someone me I will keep on pushing to become a better person that yesterday, and I always forgive and focus more on the profit for both parties.
Some friends have not stayed years with me, but I still value them because of the great things these guys are moving me to do or pushing me to do.
We should learn to value our friendship with people because we never can tell who might be of help to us in the future or in our journey of life. Connect, Network, make friends, build good relationships, this can be a step up in life and also most importantly, be watchful of the kind of friends we keep, some are dangerous and greedy that they only move for themself and not for the benefits of anyone.
This is my entry to Hivelearners weekly prompt, week 184 episode 3.
That part about being framed is deep.
Of a truth, true friends really do help us grow and shape us in ways we may never forget.
Thanks for sharing.
💯❤️💯
True that..I have a lot of folks who we call each other brothers too..
Sorry about the experience at the beach, it even though it's a by gone, it scared me a little.. some friends are family honestly, they stick even when family turn their backs.
You are right, we should always learn to value our friendship, we don't know where we would meet those around us in life tomorrow..
