It's a universal truth that we can only give what we have to as much as we're willing to share, so when you are tempted to think that the people around you aren't good friends or don't care about you enough because they are not bringing everything to the table, Pause and Reflect.

Friendships are like colours, they come in different hues especially depending on the kind of light we shine upon them. Now, this is what I am trying to say, all the different people we keep as friends being different value into our lives, and as such, it is important we see what they bring to the table and appreciate them for what they bring and just the way they because every one of them has got a purpose to fulfill in our lives.
You know, it's so easy to get caught up in the value we wish we'd get from people, that we lose sight of the fact that they're all there for a reason and that they're bringing other stuff to the table.
It would be easier for us if we learn not to only think about what we can get from friendships but what we can also give out because friendship is a two-way thing. It is to give out and be given in return and not just to get from people without giving out in return.
We would also realize how fun and how friendships are of shades of colour when we don't depend on one person to keep the ship going.
Friendship means two or more people in a ship and that automatically means that one person can not keep the ship rolling in the sea because it's going to drown everyone but everyone needs to keep all hands on deck to keep the ship rolling to the end of the world and that is what makes friendships fun.

Two friends will never bring the same thing to the table because it would be boring and lifeless and no two people were created by God to think the same or have the same pattern of thinking.
Perhaps the same pattern of thinking but never the same process of making their thoughts materialize or visible and never the same result. There would always be a big difference so when you wish to have friends who bring the same thing to the table, it makes friendship boring.
The people we meet all come in different shades of colour, instead of throwing them away because you feel or think you don't need them, gather as many colours as possible because you will probably need them one day when start painting another portion of your life.
This stuff they bring to the table might not be what we think we want, but it could end up being what we need to keep our heads high and what we need to keep us going when things are tough.
Instead of pushing away thinking they can't bring anything to the table, just embrace them and be thankful for every value you can get no matter how little they are, they can be of help to you.
Everybody is looking for that perfect someone but the truth is, no one is perfect, and that's more reason why we need these people in different shades because together we can be perfect. So, keep as many as you can because friendships are like colours, they come in different shades to make one's life drawing beautiful and a fun experience to be remembered.
Yeah friendship is a great and awesome asset we should always keep, a nice article dear
