"Pick a Word, Paint a Story #08".

Hello, friends from around the world, this week's contest is amazing, and I would like to pick the word friend among the list words FRIEND, FLOWER, and BIRD. I would also like to thank @senehasa for the good organization of this weekly contest.

WHO IS YOUR FRIEND

In our daily lives, we will certainly have individuals whom we call our friends I would like to educate you all on who a friend is. A friend can be seen as any individual who cares about your well-being, i.e., in good times and bad times, a person who will speak good things about you, a person that makes you feel happy in hard times, a friend is also a person that helps you when you need it than most.

Let's move to the qualities of a good friend. A good friend will be willing to help you at all costs; some friends are people who don't want you to benefit from them; they only want to benefit from you. These are not qualities of a good friend; your pain is expected to be his pain also.

A good is a person who is respectful, trustworthy, loyal, considerate, and understanding. Being trustworthy implies that the friend is always honest and dependable; always telling you the truth will make you trust such a friend completely; they are also there in your time of need.

Good friends also need to be loyal to one another; loyal implies that such a friend is committed to the relationship you all have as friends, always says the truth, and stands by each other at all times; loyal friends make you feel happy around them, they likewise make you feel good about yourself.

A friend should also be respectful in the relationship. This means that you have your privacy at all times, and they make sure they respect their boundaries; this is a quality of a good friend, and it likewise strengthens the friendship; they should also accept you for the kind of person you are.

A good friend should also possess that forgiving spirit, letting what has occurred in the past help the relationship grow; friendship comes with forgiveness; the past reminds us of pain, so we don't need to take it into the future; forgiveness is the key to all relationships. Good friends will never mind sharing their aims and objectives with you; sharing this knowledge will also build trust in the relationship.

WHY WE NEED FRIENDS

Friendship is really important for our overall well-being, mental health, and happiness. Friends help us to always feel important and less lonely, friends help by giving emotional support and also reducing stress, and friends help by being there for you in hard times; you will always find comfort with them.

Having friends who believe in us helps us to become confident; they boost our Self-esteem and value ourselves; if you have confidence, you will hardly feel left out in conversations about our recreational activities. Friends can also be needed because they help us make good decisions, which can be of great benefit in our lives; they also help us to make good choices regarding our pattern of lifestyle, which will help us both physically and mentally.

MEMORIES WITH FRIENDS

I can vividly remember I time my friends and I went to a hotel after our need of the year party, in the hotel we took pictures and it came time for us to eat and I didn't have cash to pay for the meal and my friend Azuga pain for me and others who did have money to pay for the meal. I felt good and confident at the time that I had a good friend.

Another memory was the (WASA) West Africa Social Activities. In this day, all West African cultural displays are being showcased, things like dancing and drama. My friends, who were mostly steemains, were the ones present, we all moved together at the occasion, and I felt loved and important.
