A friend is someone who never judges you - even when you stay in that miserable job, or keep going back to that dead-end relationship, or hang on to that unhealthy habit. A friend is someone who loves you just the way you are, always believes in you, offers support, and inspires you to be your best. Friends are those special ones who ask how you are and actually listen for the answer. A true friend is always there for you. And, best of all, with a true friend, you can relax and be yourself. You don't have to perform or pretend or try to impress.
