You Are... A Friend

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”  ~C.S. Lewis

Who are your friends? Are they the people you’re comfortable being yourself around? Do they stand up for you? Do they listen to your problems, even when they appear petty or unimportant? Do they challenge you to be a better person every day? Hopefully, you’ve answered these questions as you’ve read them. But, now, I challenge you to ask yourself the same questions. Having a friend should reciprocate to being a friend.

My brilliant mom once told me, “A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and will sing it back to you when you’ve forgotten the words.” This is so… deep. Friends are people who remind us who we really are, even when we don’t remember. They build us up, and encourage us to be the best version of ourselves. They will tell us the hard truth, even when they want nothing more than to tell a pretty lie. Ask yourself; are you that type of friend?

“Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.”  ~Author Unknown

You are a friend.
