In the following article about friendship, by Adora Ganir, the author talks about the ways in which her understanding of friendship has evolved over the years. After going through many various friendship experiences, she now has a more complete understanding of what friendship actually means.
It is true that friendships, and what they mean to us can change over the years. Sometimes when we are young, we are surrounded by so many acquaintances that we don’t really notice that not all of these people are actually our friends. Not all the people who surround us have our true interests at heart.
The sad truth is that as we go through life, we can’t always take all of our friends with us. Sometimes people will disappoint us. Sometimes we are the one who has disappointed someone else, and so we are left behind.
In a sense, every friendship is irreplaceable, because every person is unique. Every person brings out something within us that no one else can do. Still, as we get to know people better, we must pick and choose. Not everyone is suited for being our good friend. We need to find out which people make us feel most safe and comfortable. We need to discover which people bring out the best qualities in ourselves.
The process of making friends, of deepening some friendships, and of leaving some friendships behind is also a process of self discovery. As we get to know others better, we also get to know ourselves better. Each person we meet and get to know will also help us become more fully human.

Thoughts About Friendship
By Adora Ganir
Have you ever wondered where your friends are? Have you ever wondered what happened to your friendship? I used to have delusions about friendship. When I was younger, I thought all my friends back then could still be my friends until the day I die. I would say I was blessed with so many friends. I was able to build friendships from all the offices and organizations that I've been. Now that I'm in my 30's, I can count my true friends in my fingers.
Would you judge me that I am not a friend keeper, or would you agree with me that as we grow older, we're no longer concerned with the number of friends that we have, but with the quality of friendship that we build. It matters not who came first, but who stayed until the end.
Upon reflecting the friends that I have and once had and the friendships that we built through the years, I've realized quite a number of things. Let me list down ten of those realizations. I realized:
1. That betrayal of trust is the number one reason that breaks the friendship.
2. That sometimes friendship falls apart for no major reason at all. You just simply outgrow each other.
3. That distance is not a hindrance to a friendship if you really love and treasure each other.
4. That you can have more than one best friend.
5. That when you're down in the dumps, a word, a smile, and a hand from your friend can bring you back to life.
6. That common values and interests between friends make the bond stronger.
7. That a true friend will always be happy and proud of your accomplishments and will always share with your joys as well as your sorrows.
8. That a true friend will never be tired of saying a prayer or two for you.
9. That even in friendship, it takes two to tango. Both must exert the effort to keep in touch and update with each other's lives.
10. That when you made mistakes and make a fool of yourself, a friend will not walk out on you. A true friend will be with you and will support you while you're in the process of picking up your broken pieces.
I have realized a lot more, but the best realization that I will forever be thankful for is that in this time and age that we seldom find true friends, God blessed me with genuine ones.
