Gratitude for Depth and Connection: Odes to True Friendship



Be thankful for the people who can move beyond superficial gossips
and are unafraid to dive in deep.
They enlighten you with meaningful discussions that go beyond drama
and enrich your soul.
They open your mind & expand your horizons.
They bring a whole new level of upliftment!

Be grateful for the people who can see beyond your flaws and mistakes
and are willing to accept you as you are.
They support you with unconditional love and kindness that go beyond words
and heal your wounds.
They inspire you to grow and improve yourself.
They bring a whole new level of happiness!

Be appreciative of the people who can share your passions and dreams
and are eager to join you in your journey.
They motivate you with constructive feedback
and suggestions that go beyond praise
and challenge your limits.
They collaborate with you to create and innovate.
They bring a whole new level of achievement!

Be mindful of the people who can understand your feelings and thoughts
and are able to communicate with you effectively.
They comfort you with empathetic listening and empathy that go beyond sympathy
and validate your emotions.
They help you to express and articulate yourself.
They bring a whole new level of connection!

Be respectful of the people who can respect your opinions and beliefs
and are open to learn from you as well.
They educate you with diverse perspectives and insights that go beyond facts
and broaden your worldview.
They encourage you to question and explore yourself.
They bring a whole new level of wisdom!

Be loyal to the people who can trust your actions and intentions
and are faithful to you in return.
They protect you with honesty and integrity that go beyond promises
and strengthen your bond.
They stand by you through thick and thin.
They bring a whole new level of friendship!
