A friend is someone you can confide with
Someone who is always there for you
when you needed help or feedback.
Someone who has a shoulder to cry on
A friend who would console you
in times of grief and sadness.
Someone you can rely or count on
regardless of the situation.
Someone who is not going around gossiping
Someone who is not envious of your good fortune
Someone who is not envious of your happiness
Someone who doesn't 'stab' you in the back
Someone who doesn't take advantage of you
Most of all, a friend who validates you when
you need validation.
