True friend

It's unavoidable. You walk in this world bright eyed when you were young. You came to see that the world had so many possibilities. One of them are finding friends. Friends, are your very first link to what you can become, and what you view yourself as such. You become friends with people first because of similar interests, same area of influence, and having mutual acquaintances. The next stage of friendship is seeing the depths within, and what makes you like them beyond the surface. Dig deeper enough, you find some friends have scratches and burns, have baggage over baggage of crises. A shallow friend would be wise enough to veer away from this. A true friend will empathize, and will stick by you when the storm starts raging.

A true friend will know your innermost secrets and will keep it to his/her grave. True friends will tell you your worst part and will help you build  yourself up to be better.They see the inner spark in your darkest moments.

And the most amazing thing about true friends is they'll stay by you when you are at your worst.
Sometimes, they are even better than siblings. I read a phrase that goes like this: "True friends are the siblings that God didn't give to you."
