Thoughts about friendship

I hope your week has started well. Mine has been mainly work related spiced up with some dancing. I have also enjoyed some late night talks with a friend. Our talks have made me quite reflective about my current and past friendships.

I am a positive and outgoing person, and I have no intention of changing. I love to be surrounded by my friends. For me true friendship is sharing both funny and sad moments together. Or sometimes just sharing a quiet moment together.

Friendship is sharing similar braids made by my friend's daughters. <3

During the past two years I have grown a lot and learned to eliminate those persons trying to effect my thoughts or life negatively. Sometimes, you get together with bitter people who do not even know what they want themselves and they suck your energy until you dry out. 

A great advice in a sign I saw in Key West.

My decision has borne fruit. The friends around me now maybe less, but I feel much happier and I intend to keep it that way. They respect my life and decisions, and I respect theirs. They listen and understand but they do not judge. Those are the friendships worth keeping that carry through the darkest moments in your life!

A moment of coloring book therapy with my dear friend. :D

The moment when you arrive to summer cottage and notice to have exactly

same bag and almost similar cardigans with your friend. 

Sharing a crazy selfie moment with my goddaughter.

In life, there always may be people who are little envious, others might see you as someone annoyingly strong, or as someone with a lot of character, others might think you are a fool... I think it is okay to do so, as long as they do not affect your shine or your essence. 

I totally agree with the Irish proverb 'A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have.'
