“When you have a friend who checks in on you and wants nothing but the best for you, without motives, keep them close. Such friends are rare.”

— Unknown Author

Throughout our lives, we build many unique relationships with others. By nature, we all want to feel loved and supported. Many of us long for true friendship and often we find ourselves broken-hearted when we feel we have been betrayed or abandoned by those who we think are our friends.

Some people only want to be your friend for their own selfish reasons. They are only there for us when it is convenient for them. They only support us when we are being who they want us to be, or doing what they want us to do. Some people use us. They may pretend to have our best interests at heart, but inevitably, when we are no longer serving their selfish motives, they disappear.

True friends are hard to find. When you have someone in your life who you know, from the bottom of your soul, has your best interests at heart, do not take them for granted. Keep them close to your heart and cherish their beautiful friendship.

“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.”

— Thomas Aquinas

True friends may be one of the most amazing things that we get to experience in this…
