Friends are not just people that show up in your life for a season just to leave, or even people who hang out and never add any good or support to you. No, true friends are shoulders to cry upon, ears to listen, and arms to hug away the pain. But the important part of friendship is honesty. 

"Do I look good in this?" Be honest.

"What should I do?" Be honest.

And, most importantly, a friend is someone who speaks up for you when you aren't present and will be the first to tell you that you did something wrong when you have done something wrong! But all of it is in true love!
