Friendship is essential for the successful wellbeing of every person. It is

based on the simple rules of trust and honesty. A true friend is a person you
can always count on when you face challenges and serious problems. He or
she always offers a shoulder to cry on in case something wrong happens. Your
soulmate always listens to your problems, gives you good piece of advice, and
never talks behind your back.

A true friend is never envious of your accomplishments and

achievements. This person respects you and keeps all your secrets. You can
always tell your trusted friend your flaws and be sure that your revelations are
safe. A true friendship is a reward for all the good we do in our life.

A true friendship makes us feel secured and comfortable knowing that

we are loved and treasured. A good friend is always loyal to you and never lets
you down. Being trustworthy is a very important factor in any friendship. A true
friend is there for you in the times of need, he makes you smile when you
forgot how to, and lift you up when you cannot not lift up yourself.
