Good Friends

I remember one time I got sick, and this friend paid me a visit.
She stayed by my side, talked about her own ailments and how she overcame them. One thing particularly stood out of my mind. She said that 'when you are down on your back, you have nowhere to look but up'.

This made me appreciate her friendship more and more. Here she was, she could have talked about petty things. Or, criticized people behind their backs but she opted to talk of something positive. Something helpful and would cheer me up.

I realized that in life, we always appreciate those people. They are the ones whose friendship we treasure the most. They offer us stability and sincerity. We seek them out, the way we seek for gold. They are rare and precious. Unlike others, they don't give out negative vibes or inject our minds with poison or hang-ups. They encourage you to be better. They are angels personified.

And because of them, our lives will never be the same again.
