Genuine Friendship

A True Friend will never leave your side

Happy Friends

“Friendship

isn’t about who you’ve known the longest —

It’s about

who came and never left your side.”

A true friend will offer

support,

companionship and

emotional comfort.

You may have only known him or her for a few weeks,

but they have ‘cared’ more for you

than ‘a friend’ you have known for years.

A true friend

is known by the

“quality” of their friendship.

A “genuine” friendship

will very often emerge

from a shared experience, empathy and reliability.

We very often find out

who our true friends are

when we go through a challenging crisis.

He or she will stay

and

do whatever they can to support us.

This kind of emotional support

is so important for our mental health,

and to know that we are not alone,

and that there is help available.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
