Friends-so Valuable

They say Women are Strong..women can handle all kinds of emotions than Men...but only a woman knows that it is not so easy to be strong. Women face so many hardships, so much opposition from family and the society, yet they have no choice but to be stronger than men and support men during the tough times of life..for that matter, stand as a support every day. There is no time to feel tired, no time to sit still, no chance to relax and no reason to say, 'its enough, i need a break'. And that is why it is so important to have strong and trustworthy friends around..if not strong, atleast a friend who listens and gives a good advice. Imagine life full of battles and not even one friend or family member to trust and share our feelings, it is worse than taking some rest.

I have personally travelled across tough times in life, during every phase of life...and i can confidently say i have gathered some gems in friendship..some are of the same age, some are older too. To share a laughter, a silly complaint, a nagging thought..whatever, my friends are mine, trustworthy and honest. Coming across friends is common but saving the worthy friendships is valuable to life. At a stage in life, you want a friend or a cousin to hear us complain of our own parents or The husband...'just listen, dont talk' is that moment. You call your friend and she misses your call...she is not even bothered about it..then she isn't your valuable friend...but treasure that missing feeling without fail when she says, 'sorry, i missed your call..i was desperate to know how you are!' .. After your Mom, only a true friend can feel that for you. Do you also have a friend so valuable?
