ⒶⒷⒸ of Friendship



A friend does most of these:

Accepts you as you are 
Believes in "you" 
Calls you just to say "HI" 
Doesn't give up on you!

Envisions the whole of you 
Forgives your mistakes 
Gives unconditionally 
Helps you 
Invites you over 
Just "be" with you 
Keeps you close at heart 
Loves you for who you are 
Makes a difference in your life 
Never Judges 
Offer support 
Picks you up 
Quiets your fears 
Raises your spirits 
Says nice things about you 
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it 
Understands you 
Values you 
Walks beside you 
X-plains thing you don't understand 
Yells when you won't listen and 
Zaps you back to reality

Friendship ♥

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.l'amicizia è sempre una dolce responsabilità,mai una opportunità.




A friend is a gift you give yourself.Un amico è un regalo che dai a te stesso.

Your wealth is where your friends are.La tua ricchezza è dove sono i tuoi amici.

The worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship.La peggiore solitudine è essere privo di sincera amicizia.

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. L'amicizia è una singola anima che dimora in due corpi.

True friendship consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value.

La vera amicizia consiste non nella moltitudine di amici,ma nella loro utilità e valore.
