art, cakes & me: 'art' of FRIENDSHIP

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

(Elie Wiesel)

SO, What is it that makes for a strong and deep friendship? And what does it take to maintain and grow such a friendship? i've saved this post for months but now only i got the chance to continue writing bout it.. lol

it's gonna be absolutely from my own point of view..

FIRST, it needs LOVE.. love your friends.. love her behaviours, her hobbies, the way she speaks and LOVE HER WEAKNESSES.. no one in this world is perfect! Friendship is when people know all about u but LIKE u anyway.. ;)

TWO, is COMMUNICATION. Social networking sites like TWITTER or Facebook make this easy to do by encouraging you to write a message on your friend's wall. Keep in touch by calling or texting make TWO HEARTS closer dont u think? Through communication somehow makes u get to know ur friends better.. in n out.

THIRD is SHARING.. ''sharing and caring'' is one the commonest words we heard about friendship kan? Sharing doesnt mean u give everything u have.. money, food or what sorts.. but it's more to sentimental values like sharing FUN & GRIEF.. Everyone has friends that go through tough times. When they go through these times, we want to be there for them.. n they surely need you too..

NEXT, FORGIVENESS is needed in a friendship (or even in other relationships).. to handle urself, use ur head.. to handle others, use ur heart.. ANGER is only one letter short of danger. Every friend you'll ever have will eventually disappoint you. Count on it. That doesn't mean that every offense of a friend requires forgiveness.. Some slights need only be overlooked and forgotten. Like seriously, forgive and forgive. =)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LAUGHTER. Friendships start by two people finding something in common. And laughter, I believe, is the easiest thing two people can share.

Friendships can grow with laughter. It is can forge a deep connection. Camaraderie. Loyalty.

there are also a lot of other elements in friendship that make the 'bond' stronger.. like HONESTY, LOYALTY, ACCOUNTABILITY and DEDICATION.. i admit, me too facing this kinda ''friends come and go'' situation maybe due to a life which is always changing and we grow up.. in new places, meet new people, new environments.. but somewhat, i believe a TRUE FRIEND of mine will never leave me.. and always be there for me.. n i'll try my best to be 'someone who deserve you'..

KK.. <3

friends.. you brought another friend, n i brought mine, n then there were four, five n even SIX, we started OUR group, OUR circle of friends.. and like that circle, there is no BEGINNING or END..
