The Friendship Project

A friend is a valuable thing. Friends don’t care if you’re doing well at school ‘cause they don’t expect ‘great things’ from you; they don’t mind if you’re beautiful or ugly and they are not there to ask for favors or your money. Friends won’t be happy when you’re sad and they will celebrate good news and birthdays with you. Friends are the faces on old photographs and contacts on your phone, the most frequent voices on your messages and you have shared with them bicycle rides in the summer (or Sunday cinema outings or disagreements over a round of your favorite board game). Your friend may be a kid at school or someone you met on holidays, your mum’s best friend’s son, your cousin or your sister. The thing you must remember is that a true friend is not a given thing- it takes time and luck to find them. When you meet one-and you will meet one- keep them close to your heart ‘cause friends are a valuable thing.
