"Its takes more than just a Friendship Band"

She could just be a normal friend, who helps you with your additional maths homework. He could come in the form of a fellow basketball mate, who enjoys playing xbox with you. She might be the one who went through thick and thin with you, when you got dumped.

We are talking about friends. There are some we regard superficially, others we keep closer to our hearts. But no matter how, maintaining friendships has never been an easy thing to do.

Sometimes, when a problem strikes, words can fail us. And that's where friends come into the picture. they are able to understand your problems even without listening to the whole pictures, because they are going through the same things you are. Friends make up a big portion of your social circle, making the best people to confide and have fun with. But even as we relish in these wonderful relationships we have with our friends, as we grow older, and find more things for us to do, we sometimes also forget our old friends, lose in touch and subsequently lose them. Sometimes we manage to get a friendship back after a very long time. But most of the time, we forgot. So let Minky give you a handy guide! haha..

  1. Update your particulars often!
  2. Regular meetups
  3. Set up a blog
  4. Join school alumni
  5. Give your friend exclusive copyright to one activity with you
  6. Leave your mark on their lives

There are many circumstances that can cause friends to drift apart. But at the same time, there are many ways to continue to be best friends. Often times, its up to you to take the first step to keep the friendship alive. But its definitely wirth the effort when 5 yrs down the road, or more, you still have the same bestie whos being through thick and thin with you =)
