Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things

Our friends are a reflection of ourselves or of the most important aspects of our personality. Friendship is born from mysterious affinities by which two or more people recognize themselves in something common. Friends are chosen, whereas the familiar relations come imposed. Friendship is the first affective bow made to leave the family circle and works like mediator to conquer our external world.
Friends are there when you are open to the world, as much in the internal level as in the external one. In order to have an own life it is necessary to have friends. Friends can be a release: they are very useful to take out problems that are around our minds.
RULES TO FEED FRIENDSHIP
Learn to listen: the first thing you look for in a friend is a good interlocutor, that's to say, somebody who respects your opinions.
Be careful and don't hurt: it is necessary to consider our friends’ feelings and to apologize when, without wanting, you have underestimated them.
Show your friends the affection you feel by them: frequently it is wrongly thought that this is something unnecessary.
Tell them what has bothered to you in order to clarify a bad situation and accept that, maybe, it has been a misunderstanding.
Spend time with them: relationships can die because of lack of attention.
Be always with them, in their misfortunes and in their successes.
AND REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT:
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I will just be ME
