Most times a Friend’s Shoulder Feels Warmer like an alter ego than your very own families.

honestly, life itself and our daily life has a way of teaching us that blood may connect us, but true comfort sometimes comes from unexpected places.
There are mo when your heart feels heavy, when your tears can no longer stay hidden, and you just need someone to lean on. Oddly enough, it is not always your siblings or relatives who are there it may be that one friend who listens without judgment, who wipes your tears and says, “I understand you.”

Relatives and siblings cherish us, undoubtedly, but often they behold us through the prism of familial obligations. They might admonish us about duties, heritage, or “the way things ought to be.” A confidant, on the other hand, encounters us on the plane of shared humanity no prerequisites, just companionship. Confidants don't always seek elucidation; they heed. They don't measure your transgressions; they empathize with your plight. They reassure you that it's alright to be mortal, fragile, and flawed.

A good friend is like medicine to the soul. Their presence heals wounds no doctor can see.
They stand by you when life becomes unbearable.
They encourage your dreams when others doubt you.
They celebrate your little wins as if they were their own.
They protect your secrets like a treasure.
They give you courage to rise when life knocks you down.
Good friends are not just companions; they are mirrors that reflect the best version of you.

The acrimonious Truth About Bad Friends

"genuinely not every friend is truly a friend. Some are only there when the sun shines, but disappear when storms come."

countlessly Bad friends make jest at your struggles instead of lifting you up.

They encourage habits that destroy rather than build.

They take advantage of your kindness without ever giving back.

They spread your secrets like gossip, breaking the trust you gave them.

Worst of all, they may envy your progress and try to pull you down.

The strength of deliberate bonds

Family is given to us, but friends are chosen and sometimes those chosen bonds turn out to be stronger than blood ties. A good admirer becomes family, not by name, but by heart. That’s why, in moments of pain, their shoulders feel softer, their embrace warmer, and their words more healing

In conclusion From my experience

Not every relative understands you, and not every person who calls themselves a friend truly is. But a genuine friend is worth more than gold.

At the end of the day, it is not about blood, but about who shows up when the world turns its back.

So choose your friends wisely. Keep the ones who water your soul and let go of the ones who drain your spirit because sometimes, the family you choose matters more than the family you were born into and even if your family is your true friend, please choose them.
