Friendship

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two people, or more. One can be an associate but friendship requires and interpersonal bond.  People who are involved in close friendships are happier, studies prove. There are many different forms of friendships.  A good friendship may include some of the following, affection, sympathy, empathy, honesty, selflessness, mutual understanding, compassion, enjoyment of each others company, trust and the ability to be oneself, express ones feelings and make mistakes without the fear of judgement from the other.
How many friendships like this does one need?  I can count on one hand people i can truly call friends based on these qualities.  i have a lot of 'friends' but, real friendships are far and few between.  A lot of false promises, and realization when things really get tough.  I keep my close friends close and i feel so blessed and thankful to have them, and in return i think I'm a pretty great friend.
