My Safe Space: The Value of Friends

"My Safe Space"
That's what I call my Friends. "My go to" that's because they are just always there when I need them and I can be "me" with them without the feeling of being Criticized. They love me and I love them❤️

Today, I'm sharing with you one of the amazing moments I had with my friends and how it made me feel.

During my Last Birthday, my day started roughly and I was feeling sad, power issues, my phone was down, there was just nothing interesting to do, so I just went ahead to mow the grasses around the house after I was done with my normal chores, just to stay motivated.
(Sorry I didn't take pictures because my phone was down)

Just around 2:00pm, two of my friends came in with Balloons 🤭. Of Course I was all messy😂🙈. I had to go take my bath. One of them kept saying "the package is on the way".

So while waiting others joined and they started to talk about how we met and the influence I had in their lives. I was indeed surprised because I felt they had done. The "package" then arrived and they got me a gift, I least expected that because I knew they were not in the right position to do that. Here is the point that touched me the most was when I knelt down and they surrounded me to pray for me 🥹. All the prayers they made was exactly my Heart desires, they prayed as tho they were praying for themselves. At this point I felt I could go anywhere or do anything I wish in the world knowing that I have these people around me. I felt like I was surrounded by an Army that won't allow anything come at me, I cried all through 😩🥹.

At this point we were about to finish school and return to different parts of the world where we came from I didn't have much time to spend with them again. I felt I didn't deserve it. Then I understood that , I didn't even deserve them, that they did it because they Love me and not because I ever did same to them. I learnt that I don't need to have much to celebrate and put a smile on my friend's face, it is what I am meant to do.

Friendship is Love. Friendship is sacrifice, it should cost a part of my heart. Friendship is sticking around no matter what. These are people I shared my worst days and experience with, these are people who can see me for who I am and still love me, who have supported me, my gist partners. We've had pain and crying moments, days we didn't talk, days we all wished we never knew each other. They could rebuke me and correct me as far as putting their hands into the fire to get me out.
Indeed we should learn to appreciate our friends and Celebrate them while we can. We don't need much to do that, just go to that friend and surprisingly give them a tight hug without letting go just whisper to them saying "thank you for being my Friend" Even if it's just a candy, drop it into their pockets. Enjoy them while they are accessible. Be that friend you want to have!

Share your own memories in the comments and tag that friend if present here ☺️.
