We can each have a different thought about what is friendship, but we all have something clear: a friend is the one who is by your side and with whom you share experiences and mutual feelings. But we can also say that there is much more. When we speak of true friendship we are referring to a strong bond of affection, sympathy and trust that are established between people who are not family, but there can also be friendship between various species such as man and dog.

A friend should not be toxic, the relationship must be healthy so he will extend his hand without asking for anything in return, he will want to hear from you because he loves you without interests or ulterior motives.
When you spend time with a good friend it is almost like when you spend it with the boyfriend, time goes by quickly because what matters is being together and living joint experiences that fill you with happiness and still unite you more.
And it is that as the saying goes: "Who has a friend has a treasure".
