Friends can make or break us

From the moment we 're able to walk and talk we start making friends. So it's best to take the time and effort to make sure the friends we have in our lives are the right friends, not those who cause us to struggle and grieve. Getting friends has many advantages to it in life. They 're supporting us. We just love them. They push us on. They check on us. They 're our sounding boards and our safe space in this world. They love us, and make us laugh and cry. Friends keep us moving and carry us on. They keep our minds busy and challenge us, and help us to learn new things or to conquer fear. They make us laugh, and bring us to life. Friends also affect us, and they keep us in control and in charge of our lives. When things are hard you have a friend with you as your partner who is going to go through these times. We all need to be loved and cared for. When we're young, we gather lots of friends and as we develop and mature we know that some are true friends and will go through life with us and some are only friends for a season or a cause, as the saying goes. We heard from colleagues. We give mates love, and we get affection. Our friends give us the support it takes to handle our lives. Some may have only two human buddies but our friend is also a 4 legged furbie for others. You decide your friends are such. Don't hang out with people who rob you of their lives.
