F.R.I.E.N.D.S How Many Of Us Really Have Them?

Ladies lets talk Friends..... a word we use often and sometimes to loosely.. What is a Friend? I think we are all still figuring out the ins and out of a good friendship as there are endless measurements BUT... a genuine friendship will allow you to identify the true gems that make you appreciate that persons spot in your life. I'm sure we all have had our taste of both sides.. I've had friends that support me without a question & I've also experienced friends that were only there when they needed something. Because of "history" I didn't want to just lose a friendship. The question is what are you losing if you can't lean on your "Friend" in your time of need, huh? ...Yea, nothing right.

The key is to know you can still love and let go... Knowing when to say when is a major key to keeping your sanity. Healthy relationships are truly important in this crazy time, zone babes. That's why we wanted to help you identify some signs that'll help you determine if that "home girl" of yours is a true friend or just an associate..

#1 SUPPORT

Are they there for you, no matter what? Yes we all have busy lives and may not be able to attend every moment when your not in the best head space but a real friend is there when it matters. It's not a 1 way friendship.

#2 No Judgement Zone

Mistakes make room for every one to experience them. A friend doesn’t put you down or deliberately try to hurt your feelings. Your friendship should be a safe zone for you to spill out those things that are to embarrassing to tell the world but important enough to vent about.

#3 Respect

Yes, most times we're comfortable and feel as though we can say anything to our girls however there MUST be a line that doesn't get crossed. If your girls are doing questionable things like talking behind your back or showing signs of envy like talking to other guys they're aware that you've dated before...THAT'S NOT YOUR FRIEND. #Girlcode

#4 Truthful

Yes man?...No girl! A real friend is trustworthy and willing to tell you the truth, even when it’s hard for you to hear they'll tell you their honest opinion because they really want the best for you.

#5 Likable?

You'd think we'd be past this topic in this conversation..we'll you'd be surprised chile!

A friend is someone whose company you enjoy. Ask your self is this someone you still like to be around?

#6 Loyalty

This 1 really explains itself guys. Cut the ties if this one doesn't apply.

#7 RIDE OR DIE

A friend is someone who sticks around when things get tough. when everything isn't all good your friend should still be there to comfort you when you need to cry, listen or even to make you smile.

While we are quarantining take a look at your inner circle and determine if these 7 rules above are a factor in your "friendships". Your circle speaks volumes about YOU, so it's important to place positive, healthy, and supportive energies around you. They feed your spirit whether or not you realize it. Ladies, we all change and flourish into different flowers throughout life and sometimes we may outgrow each other. That's OK! It doesn't have to be a big fall out full of what did or didn't happen. In-fact you can still love this person. Yea, it's possible! But distance is what will allow that happy place to continue on.
