In the Loop: My FRIEND [Episode 2.]

       The concept of friendship has placed me in a state of besumement for a while now. Sometimes I'm left in a dilemma of what it takes to have a 'friend' or be a 'friend'. I've heard diverse opinions about what friendship entails and I'm in a constant state of making headway about all these ideas. In the last article; A TALE TO TELL: MY FRIEND, ▶I tried to fill in the blanks about my personal conviction  on friendship .
So, today's article captures a remarkable emphasis and redefinition of the word,'friendship' .I'd come to realize that many people had given up on friendship and it doesn't excite them anymore. You have probably told yourself you don't need anyone, but c'mon really?😄.
     Amidst the diverse relationships anyone could ever have, nobody gets to choose their family but the average man has been priviledged to choose his friends. So, I did an informal survey and asked a couple of individuals what their thoughts were on Friendship. I got quite a number of responses which I considered quite cogent  and I dare not hoard these exciting truths to myself💃🏻 .So let's cut to the chase as we dive into the breathtaking and inspiring comments from the individual s who contributed to  this movement, hashtag friendship (#friendship).

Exquisite Messenger: What do you think about the concept of friendship ? Who makes a friend?

¶
Opeyemi : One of the most important decision we can make in our lives that can direct and influence the course of our lives is who we choose to walk with.
Femi: Friendships are divine orchestration of knowing people in order to learn from each other and to spur each other to be a better person.
Laolu: Do not be a friend with someone just on the basis that they are producing results, because in real friendships lives are built and from there you experience different things and thoughts, which will eventually make you a better person.
Lateefah: It doesn't matter the number of years you've known someone. Sometimes, someone you just met could create a tremendous impact in your life than someone you've known for a very long time.
DOLAPO: Many friendships of this present age are largely influenced by the hurts of past friendships. This should not be, because a friend is a second you , someone that loves you just as you equally love yourself.
Mary Martins: Everybody should be able to make a friend, but friendship is more than natural ; its spiritual. There's this saying that you choose your friend, but the Christian man understands that the Holy Spirit helps you to choose your friends, if you allow him to direct you to those people.
Adeoluwa: There must be an understanding of your kind of person before declaring friendship with someone. I don't really agree with the notion that until you fully discover yourself, then you can have friends. Wa pe n be 😄.We discover ourselves everyday.

Mayomikun: To have great friends, we have to be great friends ourselves. It's not about how often you keep in touch,Friendship transcends time and distance.
