Try To Maintain Friendship In Your Life
Me- Hello Friend! How are you? We haven't talked with each other for so long.
Friend- Wait who are you, bro? ( Oops Moment )
A 'Friend' is a person we choose in our life. Such a family, which we do not get from birth, but which collides with us at some stage of life and becomes a precious part of our life. A friend is the one who makes us smile in our laughter and in difficult times. But, in the rush of time, many times friendship starts fading. We start to feel that the same unbreakable friendship is no longer the same thing.
Today is Friendship Day in India. I think the international friendship day was on 30th July, lol. Different countries have different days to celebrate haha. But let me tell you I haven't wished anyone today. Not that I have no friends but just I wished them through telepathy. Can you hear me wishing you? Focus, see I wished you already.
This relationship is very important in our lives. But with time it fades away and there are some common possible reasons that create a gap in friendship.
No talk or contact with each other slowly distances people. Because in today's busy life people get to meet a lot of people in their daily lives and so we forget to contact each other a day and slowly for few days and eventually new people overtake our mind and their places.
After marriage, I have seen both genders distance with friendship on account of extra responsibility.
When we split ways in our life while choosing career options we lose so many friends as everyone took different paths in their life.
Value Of Friendship
The reasons are pretty good to lose friendships but aren't enough. And the value a friendship holds is higher than you think. We need friends in every part of our life from childhood to old age. Because in critical moments a friend saves you from trouble be it may a new or old friend. He/she gives you the jolly company and lift you from depressing moods, etc. If you have friends, you will never feel alone. You never know which friend can pull you off from a problematic situation. I know in today's world it's hard to find true friends. .
But that's life you have to learn to differentiate between good and bad people and whom you wanna be friends with.
Is Friendship Hard To Maintain?
I don't think so. With the introduction of social media contacting friends is super easy now. You just have to send a message which will take just a minute of your time. And if you don't want to chat regularly just sent them videos, photos, or links related to their interests occasionally. That will maintain a friendly and approachable friendship even though you don't talk much. And I personally feel regular talking isn't necessary to maintain a friendship. As if I do friendship, I do it for a lifetime until and unless a friend betrays me. I never blacklist them, haha.
Length Of Friendship
It can't be measured because sometimes we meet such people in life who do more than a family while just being a friend. I have met them but with time we aren't friends anymore. It doesn't hurt as nobody did anything wrong just after choosing different study courses we distanced and forgot to talk with each other. But I still see them as valuable friends whom I can count on in serious situations and I believe they also think the same about me.

Final Thoughts
The thread of friendship should be maintained lifetime. Because these are the people who can help or support or give an enjoyable company to you apart from your family. With time my friend circle decreased like the dollar value in my Crypto holdings, lol. And I realize not every friend is worth your time and these people can't be with you for a lifetime. They play a certain part in your life. Some may last with you till death but some may leave you in a few days or months of interaction. It's what life is.
But don't depend or believe in anyone except yourself. Take suggestions from your friends but the decision should be yours only. And make sure you don't betray my friendship, haha.
