Signs of healthy friendship "Friends are people that also matter to us, either they are just one or two, or a dozen people what matters is that they are true to you". This day, my friend visited me here in our house, she was the one who is my long-time friend since the year 2006 when we have the same school. Until now, she's very thoughtful to me she brought me here with a "tilapia dried fish", which her husband bought in the market a few meters away from here. Sometimes she has also a different attitude which we all have I guess, something that can make others cringe. But, I am happy to meet her, because she was just so kind, and don't speak the person. I can say, that our friendship was healthy because we never fought so far, hi hi hope we will not. And also, we already had a misunderstanding before during the time that we are still single, but we have settled it already and it is also a reason why we became close to each other. **How do we know if our friendship is healthy?** **Boundaries** Do you have boundaries in your friendship which is clear so that both parties will never hurt each other's feelings? Even if friends are close, there should still be a boundary, to what point in your life, that you can share with them? And it also depends upon the both of you who, I mean you know each other's trigger or soft spots, if you will recognize it, the more the friendship became strong. For example, I don't ask my friend about things that seem very private and force her to express her feelings, it's better to let her open up first before giving an opinion. **Freedom** As friends, we still have a different choice, either in food, movie, music, clothing, and many more. It doesn't mean that if we are friends we need to be the same in all things. Just like my friend, she's very organized and she will do things step by step, as in orderly, as well as, in my part, I am always just on the go, whatever it is on the table, I have no complaints. I never let her be like me too, I just let her do her choice, and make things that make her happy. **Room for growth** Our friends have chances for growth as time passes, and my friend has already been there. She just graduated with her course which is Education and is soon to take a review for her exam. She'd kept on growing, and I appreciate her hard-working, even if she's already a mom, she doesn't stop dreaming. I just appreciate her for being so humble even if we're not on the same level in life, but she's still treating me at the same pace. In short, there's no room for jealousy whenever your friend will succeed in their chosen career in life, instead, we should always be there to cheer them. **Trust and Honesty** This is gonna be my last point but not the least of them all, I have appreciated my friend for being trustworthy. She can keep secrets we had secrets and we both agreed to it, in just a blink of our eyes. In all kinds of attachments or relationships, trust and honesty are very important. Who would want to be a friend with someone who is not reliable? An honest friend is sincere and willing to treasure a friend for a long time. **My end Notes** A friend is like a treasure, and I can say, that they are also like heaven sent because they are like a helping hand, a person that we can depend on and rely on. Someone who is a shoulder to cry on, and willing to extend his arms when we need it. Are your friendship now healthy? Well, only you can answer it by yourself , but a healthy friendship also doesn't mean that there is no problem anymore, the more it faced challenges, the more it keeps growing through times. Before I end,I will extend my heartfelt thanks to my new sponsor @carolinacardoza , and to @ARTicLEE @youiequdniram,thanks a lot guys. Hug a friend!
