Friends: For A Colorful Life!

It was yet another day for me when I was sad and suffocated, seeing my world being stagnant in a bad phase and resisting to move on. I felt as if my life is collapsing like a castle of cards and my vision was getting blurred. It was loud and chaotic around me but still I was all alone until one phone call turned things upside down. A friend from far away called me to know how I was doing and I had nothing popping in my head other than the good times we had together once and how much I want to be with her now and laugh out loud on our silly nothings. As I woke up happy today, it suddenly occurred to me, why I am so happy that I almost forgot what I was worried about till yesterday?  I don’t reckon a person who has no crazy stories to share about friends, but what are friends really for?

We all have friends, good bad and the best ones, and it is impossible to say that you never had the best time with all of them at least once in your life. Some friends give you the hardest times and some make your world the best place in the entire universe. Research shows that friendship has a bigger role in your psychological well-being than family and relationships. A strong social support helps people to cope with stress and many health problems such as serious cardiovascular diseases, obesity, depression and even cancer. A better social life makes you alert, intelligent and improves your skills. Friends help to celebrate in life, force you to take better care of yourselves and increase your life span. Of course I never used to eat on time and no one paid much attention in my family until some friends were encouraging me to not skip my meals, sharing reports and facts about skipping meals and harmful effects and not only this, two of them even bring snacks for me at office.

I believe that’s why you need friends, to make life a happening thing for you, to rejoice, to depend on and of course, to have some of the best memories in life. Life is like a canvas and good friends are the most beautiful colors on it. They somehow cover up all the blues and shine bright on it. I have friends, the good bad and the best ones, and all of them are bright colors that painted happy memories in my mind.
