Phases of friendship and their importance in life
This is a contribution post by Jasmine Bhatia
Friendship is one of the most special relationships as it has no boundaries to express anger, truth, fun or love.
Good friends understand each other very well, are there for each other when they need the most and can take a joke too. Remember the pranks we used to play on our friends?
The changing phases of friendship and their importance in our lives
If we closely observe, our friends and our relationship with them change from time to time.
1) Friends with all –
During our pre- schooling and early schooling days we become friends with everyone, there are times when we share our little things, and help one another. There is no feeling of being biased, and judgmental and the fights are also limited only to a few minutes.
At this phase of life, we are little buds and pure souls filled with innocence and love
2) Best friends –
Slowly, as we grow we choose our preference of our likes, our playing partners, and our set of games and we tag them as our best friends for life. Times change, we all move forward and few remain with us forever in our hearts.
At this phase of life, we germinate from little buds to grow as young planters.
3) Colleagues as friends –
In our professional field, by the chance of life we meet a few colleagues whom we trust, we enjoy their company and get along very well with them and they become our pals by profession.
At this phase of life, we learn the art of accepting and managing well with all that we have .
4)Hobby friend –
We all need the company of a friend of the same wavelength who can cheer us up by pushing and motivating us in doing tasks we are longing to do like fitness, reading, blogging, practice a new language.
At this phase, we develop the importance of accountability in our lives.
5) Lifelong/ Evergreen friends – At different times of our lives we have different friends but only a few friends surpass the distance of place, and time and over time our friendship with them becomes even stronger and deeper. They are friends for whom we can vouch for lifelong.
At this phase of life, with empathy in heart and value in mind, we take charge of our life and maintain the friendship above all our busy schedules
Every phase of friendship and every friend are equally very special as some have made you laugh, a few others made you cry, others have given you challenges to outperform and a few others have forced you to overcome your fears.
Nevertheless, each friend is a priceless treasure who cannot be weighed on the number of times you connect with them in your present as their friendship is cherished in your sweet memories.
