One might be crowded with myriad of people who one believes to be one's friends but it is in moments you're broke, need to share something which others might find silly or preposterous or obscure that the true friend comes to your help.
It is my belief that we humans are not autonomous creatures but are highly susceptible and porous creatures. We find this need to express ourselves to someone, to open our heart out, to talk to someone, to have intimate conversations with someone we love or care for. How much ever we try to inexorably avoid this fact, this is the way we are! This is where a true friend helps! He listens to your incessant blabber with genuine awe; he treats your exclamation while you talk with empathetic stares, giggles, smiles and laughs; he makes you feel wanted and needed and that evokes into you a new sense of liveliness, vigor, enthusiasm for which we should be grateful to him.
Most of the times, all the motivation and inspiration and zeal of living life and doing things and being great etc. all fade away when one hits a low or falls into an abysmal pit of depression and desolation or just cannot face some terrible situation that life throws at one. You know that only you are the one who can resurrect yourself from this slumber of negativity which you've been into for a long time but the assurance given to you by your friends, directly or indirectly is a capital force in uplifting yourself from this current state of negativity. As Josh Radnor rightly says, "There are a lot of little reasons why big things happen in your life." These random acts of kindness, compassion and love which your friends do for you are few of those many little reasons.
I am therefore immensely grateful to one and all who have contributed in making me who I am today and thankful for all such deeds of theirs.
Note: Occasionally, I have used he/him as a pronoun but there's a she/her too who has contributed a lot! :)
