You've Got A Friend...

Lately I have been in a reflective state of mind, thinking deeply about my life and those who are a part of it, and I realise just how special these people are...

Sometimes it's easy to take a friend for granted, you don't quite comprehend just how special they are and how much they mean to you. But at some point everyone recognises the fact that friends are the people that are always there for you, no matter what.

There are a whole selection of different types of friends that you make during a lifetime. Some friendships fade, while others grow, but a true friend is with you for life.

• Childhood friendships make the bond for life. It's these friends that you will always have, even if you lose  contact, once you reunite it is as if you were never apart.
• There's Uni friends, they say that these are the ones who will stick with you for life, and after making some lovely friends at mine, I hope this saying stands true.
• Sensible friends, these are the people that can offer you sound advice and reassurance, talk through your problems and make you see sense.
• Then there's the crazy friends, who drink through the problems and make you see the fun side of life when you can only see the sad.
• The working friends who start off as colleagues but soon become people who you are happy to socialise with outside of working hours too.
• The male friends who can give some great insight into the minds of men and don't expect any extra 'benefits'.
• Finally, there's the boyfriend, although these friends may come and go, when you find the right one you find a whole new type of friendship you never knew existed.

So, make sure you tell your buddies just how much you value them, after all, where would we be without our friends?
