You know that comfort when you giggle with someone on jokes that make sense to only the two of you. The times when you cry your heart out because you feel they are the person who would listen to you without judging. We call them friends.
People say friends are the family we choose. Maybe?
But I believe that these precious humans come into our lives for a reason. To make unforgettable memories stuffed with repeated rounds of laughter and comforting each other throughout their journeys. We have a different bond with every individual that enters into our lives, we love and hate them differently, but they become part of us.
While friendship is the core of our lives, so is love.
Are these different?
Friendship certainly has the fragrance of love in it. True love is incomplete without the tint of friendship. We say love is magic. It transforms us. If love is true, it makes us the very best version of ourselves, the one we are proud of.
We are friends with those we believe we can trust no matter what. How secure could it be if you could love a person thinking along the same lines? You could look into their eyes, and just in that glance, you would know that nothing wrong can happen to you if they are beside you. Life is built upon virtues that tread the path of these relationships.
Trust, loyalty, respect and happiness might be some of these. There is neither more incredible friendship nor purer love if you have these. While love is the force of our existence, we cannot deny that love has formed. You cannot always be a happy go lucky romantic lover who doesn’t care about anything.
Love is not insane. No matter how much love you have to build a successful and healthy relationship, you always need the touch of friendship by your side. You cannot go insane when you have your best friend poking you continuously for all the mishaps you have created and cheering you on to fulfil all your dreams.
The friend whose love adores your imperfections, the one who proudly accepts your flaws, would be the most compatible person because they know you intimately. Life can be hard sometimes, but to balance that pain, if your best friend loves you for who you are, they would have your back come what may.
Friendship makes the complexities of love easier. Amidst misunderstandings of relationships, there will always be reasons to laugh aloud together. There will always be trust and honesty among the insecurities that would keep the love-friendship thread intact.
Of course, there will be different opinions, but there will be ways to solve these without breaking someone’s heart. Situations will be challenging, but the friend who loves you the most will be there hugging you tight till everything gets back to peace.Yes, love is a friendship that delights every cell of your body.
You live every ounce of that moment. This love cries with you but tries its level best to make you smile and bring back the glitter of joy on your face. Friendship and love both go hand in hand, and when these are together, these make the best stories!
