Tikoy Wants to be your Friend

What is a friend?

There are acquaintances, casual friendships, close friendships and intimate friendships. We all have aquaintances, faces we recognize and people we greet by name. Casual friendships happen through continued contact. Close friendships are developed through sharing of interests and spending time together in certain activities. But intimate friendships are what everyone desires and needs. These are friends that stay with us no matter what. They listen to us and are genuinely interested in what is best for us. They always tell us the truth, even if it hurts sometimes. But that's ok because they are interested in our well- being.

When you're in trouble or facing a difficult situation, who do you depend on to help you sort it all out? Who do you wish you could turn to? Everyone wants the kind of friend that will be there for them no matter what. Who are your friends? Are they just aqcuaintances, or intimate friends? Sometimes even our friends may let us down, but there is one thing that is sure- Tikoy wants to be your friend.
