Friendship is a very special relation that we make according to our wish. When we make friends, we neither think whether s/he is rich or poor nor if the person is beautiful or ugly. Friendship is a relation made from the heart. Thus, it is known as the purest among all relations.

There is a saying, ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’, which is true. A person who really cares for you and helps you in every need of yours is a true friend. This is a relation that can lead us to a good path if we have good and true friends. But it can also lead us to darkness if we have bad friends.

I have a friend who is very helpful. We have been friends for nine long years. She has been with me through difficult times of my life. She has helped me solve most of the problems that I have faced in the journey of my life. Problems I have in my studies or in my personal life she has always been there for me. I have spent the days of happiness and sorrows with her. She has been a perfect friend to me. I thank god for giving me a friend like her and also for making me her friend. The day I met her is very special for me as it made me live my life in a different way and I also I got to know many new things from her which helped living my life in a better way.
