Companionships don't see spot or time. It sees association. You can find the closest companions in the most unexpected circumstances and can last longer than those individuals around. In the event that you give it some effort, it very well may be more grounded than love.

So I met Ham through Instagram but I have known him before that through somebody who was important to me at that point. Eventhough I'm not keen on talking about that individual presently, I'm thankful to her for this valuable companionship I got now. Talking about Ham, we're alternate extremes. He's tranquil and I'm loud. He hushes up about his contemplations and I expresses my genuine thoughts. But somehow, by one way or another, we became very close friends and he helped me change myself for better. I didn't anticipate meeting somebody like him yet I'm happy that I did.

Unlike the friendships I have had in my past, that was generally during fun, serene and happy occasions, but this, I am blessed with his friendship and support through the rollercoaster phases of me being a struggling individual. It made me a better companion as well. I understood I ought to never address him or persuade him to do what I believe is "correct" on the grounds that I know certain things "better". I simply remain close by and ensure he has my help through his good and bad times, his mistakes, his misfortunes and his successes. Sometimes I do want to prevent him from committing similar mistakes I have made in my past to try not to get hurt. However, being a companion doesn't mean you prevent each other from committing mistakes. It implies you are there for one another when the other individual commit mistakes, tumbles down, and ensure you assist them with getting back up again and gain from their own experiences. It's a similar space and regard he has given me as well. Regardless of what my insane thought or dream was, on the off chance that I trusted in it, he would back me up 100% and with rejuvenating those thoughts and dreams, not even once scrutinizing my capacity or expectation.

To each and every individual who is as yet single out there, my main tip to you is to find a friend that makes you feel as loved and as fulfilled as possible, instead of seeking it in a romantic partner. You will realize that having a friend like that in your life will make you confident, happy and never insecure or afraid to lose whoever you are going to date. Now that is going to attract much healthier relationships towards you. You experience a separation, you will likewise proceed onward without any difficulty with a companion close by who wildly guards and ensures your bliss. Ham's loyalty and support has taught me a lot of things. I never felt desolate or the need to discover somebody just to cause me to feel less forlorn because I already got a friendship that fulfilled me.

Each time I felt low from the past memories despite the fact that I have moved on, Ham advised me that I was deserving of somebody better, due to the manner in which he treats me. In fact, we have always told each other that we will not settle for anyone who can’t treat us the way we deserve to be treated. We continue to prioritize our companionship because they are important especially when you start your own life. This is a scared part of my life that I fiercely protect and cherish, that will keep me warm and sane as I keep moving forward through life.

Nothing makes me more joyful than seeing Ham doing better and happy, and witnessing him achieve all his dreams. There were times when I considered him brutally honest and maybe a touch of maddening espacially when he goaded me to explore new things when I wasn't even sure. But I realised that those very characteristics were the qualities that made him the close friend of mine. A companion, a woman would actually want.

And, to Ham, I can just say "Thank You" for being quite a valuable blessing in my life, for improving my life for making my life better and brighter in so many ways, everyday. To many more years growing and exploring life. Cheers!
A precious friendship.
