Who needs friends anyway?



Remember as kids how girls used to write letters to each other with the ending ❤️❤️❤️ to my BFF and my BGF, my choma4life, and so on. I wonder how many of those friendships are still around. Only a handful I guess. Not to say that they were fake and never meant to be, on the contrary, I believe they were genuine in their season.

You and I are not made to navigate this earth alone. You need a compass to a bra or a choma saam met wie jy kan chill, en stories vertel, jy check. Emotional Damage! to the person who thinks they can Rambo through life alone. Hello! You are not an island. You need me, and I need you. You need a friend. If you have one, two, or three, great! If not, go buy a compass.

Studies have shown that people who have friends live longer and happier lives. Even kapana tastes lekke with a few homies, jy vibe. I personally don't think one can have more than 1 best friend or more than 3 close friends. "Og mxm, but I have 1000 friends on Facebook," says Natangwe. Yeah Natangwe, they are your friends my guy, they are yours, keep them 😀. Us we just want a few. LOL.

You need a close friend when your ship hits the rocks, a friend who will hold you up when you are scared, confused, and ready to throw in the towel. A friend who will call you out on the nonsense you are busy with because they love and care for you.

We all know the golden rule "Do unto others what you want them to do unto you" Matthew 7:12. Some of us need to look in the mirror and ask the million-dollar question. " Am I a good friend?" "What change can I make to add value to my friendship?"

But Denzel, I had a friend, and she stabbed me in the back and ran. Etse! You are a fighter neh. You got stabbed in the back and you are still alive. My goodness, we should make a movie about you. What I'm trying to say is, keep being true, keep being kind, no revenge, no bad-mouthing them for what they did to you. You are better than that.

Be true, be genuine and you will find a friend who will stick closer than family.

Salut

I'm out!

Oh wow! We all need friends indeed and I have very few, but one stands out. She's even more like a sister to me. She picks things up where all the others won't even be aware of what's going on. I hope to be such a friend.

My soul truly got blessed by this one… I was struggling to wake up and pray. At 3am. I wasn’t tired or feeling sleepy, just was not willing but then visited your blog and boom I was on my knees because I was encouraged to Just Do It

Please don't leave me here!
