True friendship can overcome time and distance, and if you are willing to invest in them, you will get back love, companionship and the most important one, memories that will live with you for a lifetime.
Having the right group of friends that always got your back is very important in life. They usually form your system when you are faced with challenges, they will always push you to be the best version of yourself.
I have been able to witnessed many examples of people who have been able to make it and achieve success because of the assistant, motivation and support they received from their closed friends.
I grew up with a group of closed friends, we have known each others from primary school back then. We have passed through challenges together, encountered ups and downs, but we always had each other to rely on.
After we finished high school, some of us went their separate ways. Some went to college, while others were not able to afford it then so they had to do some menial jobs to get them through and save up to further their education. When I went to college I felt very lost without my group of friends, but I had no choice than to live into my new life.
Although I made some new friends, but the bond was not strong like of my childhood friends. They were all busy with their own lives and I was always feeling lonely and disconnected.
I knew I will not see them always as usual, but as they only say "distance is not a barrier". We always called to check up on each other and to know how we are doing well in our various lives, we offer words of encouragement to each other when we find out that one of us was feeling down. Some of them were also supporting me when I had financial or any issues when I was in the college, and also I help them back with the little way I can when they need it.
My friends had my back during bad times and I was able to scale through some of the toughest time in my life.
We usually set some special day when we meet together to bring back old memories, and to know how each of us were doing in their lives, and during this time it always looked as if we never separated for some time, will remained closed at heart .
To round it up, having a good group of friends is very important if you want to easily progress through life. They are the ones that will be there for you during your though time, and will push you to be the best version of yourself. It is necessary to grow your these friendships and to always be there for each other when you can't stand on your own.
Life is a journey and it is more easier if you travel with the support of good friends.
