A big hello to everyone on this awesome platform, I hope we're all doing great in our various locations?. Here we are on another first edition of our weekly featured contest which is week 101. This first edition is to inquire of us and also know our take on how easy it is to find and also keep friends.

Friendship can literally be different meanings to different people, but according to my knowledge, "Friendship is a very beautiful yet sensitive emotional attachment you have towards a person or a group of people". A friend can either be related to you by blood or not, because, most people also see a friend in their siblings or family members.

I'm quite an introverted person before a I had to put in a lot of work into my self development till I became the ambivert that I am now. I barely step out of my house talk more of making friends. Growing up, I only tend to have one friend in any organization I find myself, be it school, church or any where. I don't mind having people around yet I always love and cherish my space. I couldn't make friends like every other young girl because of my introverted and careful nature. But along the line, despite the fact that I only prefer to have one friend around I still got betrayed by more than 50% of the friends I make, that I used to think I just don't have goo lucks in making good friends.

Should I talk about a time someone I called my best friend paid some guys to forcefully have their way with me (which God miraculously prevented from happening),or another time when I was accused of being interested in a friend's boyfriend all because she wants to rope me out of jealousy?, just to mention a few ...... All these restricted me from keeping friends for a very long time despite being careful.

Ever since then, when ever I meet a new person that would love to be a friend, I first of all befriend the person from a distance while the person secretly goes through scrutinization just to be sure I can be safe around the person even though my walls of trust has been broken down several times. Now, considering the things I've been through when it comes to having friends which has now increased my level of sensitivity, I still don't find it so easy to make instant friends (even the thought alone still scares me).

Recently, I found a set of friends that has been of so much help to me on all sides of life and I'm grateful to God for the gift of them. These two ladies have proven to be trustworthy (ofcourse, I still have a 1% doubt that anything can happen at anytime), supportive, selfless and possess most attributes of true friends and I'm beginning to feel much more comfortable around them even though we've been friends for almost 4 years now.

Like an adage says "A tree can't make a forest", same way we should not underestimate the power of true friendship, hold on to it once you still have it. I appreciate you for stopping by my post and I hope to see you in the comment section 🤗.
