I hope you all are doing great. I've been away on this site for a long time already because of some personal problems but I’m really glad to say that I am back and will do my best not to leave you guys again.

Alright, I’m back today and glad to be joining this lovely contest called; “When last did you say hello to your friend?” organized by @okere-blessing. I just adore the concept of this contest, a great reminder to keep in touch with those we love a little “hello” once in awhile is sometimes all it takes to brighten someone’s day.

Who is your friend? Why do you choose him/her as your friend ?

My best friend is Pinky. She's like friend, but someone I relate to at a really deep level. One of the top reasons I call her my BFF is the fact that our minds and mentalities matches so perfectly. No one has ever known me the way that she knows me, and I feel so much power from that. She’s always been right there with me, no matter what – through thick and thin, for better or worse. Her support never wavers. She’s one of those friends who can always make me feel better by being able to say the right thing and just her company cheers me up. She motivates to do better always and I just adore her positivity. Almighty has been kind to me in the form of a friend like her.

How do you feel when you do not hear from your friend?

---

To be honest, I do feel a little low and incomplete, when I am not able to speak with my friend (especially) if she is someone like Pinky. We have that very strong connection so not being an able to talk to her for a while; I feel something’s missing from my day.

I over think sometimes if everything is all right with her, or have I done anything wrong. But most of the time I just miss her being around, talking to her and knowing she gets me without having to explain everything in such detail. Her words always reassure me so when she goes without writing to me, I do miss her.

What are those qualities you look at before calling someone your friend?

---

Before I pick someone who is a friend of mine, I look at their attitude and mentality and behavior. It’s honesty, and kindness, and being compassionate.” I like people who are sort of fuddy-duddy, who aren’t pretending to be anything they’re not. The most successful friend would be someone who’d hang out with you not only when you’re on top, but also during your fall.

I also hold loyalty and trust so dear. If I’m not thinking that I trust the guy or when feeling like I just can’t talk to him or her, it’s really hard for me to hold down a true friendship. And, you know what? I like hanging out with uplifting forward thinkers who push not pull.

Great, when we are friends then what's even better is that it’s nothing like partying now or hanging out it is connection and support and respect so yeah.

Appreciate your friend with some pleasant words.

I have no words to express how much of a blessing Pinky is in my life. She’s not only my best friend. she is like a sister to me. Her being here gives me the peace, her words help me be strong and I’m a better person for all her support.

Either way, there she is with a smile and the right words and her loving heart. Not once did she ever degrade me either I don't do anything to put her down and she's never one to talk down to me or make feel as though I'm beneath or less than all that. Thank you, Pinky, you're so sweet. You know, I am pretty fortunate to have you.

Friendship is the best thing in this world. Not to call each other every day necessarily but knowing you have that one person. No matter what. I feel I’m blessed to have a friend like Pinky who completely recognizes me.
