Friendship


Hello... I hope you’re all doing great. I read a message about friendship and I really liked it. Before I went to prison, I thought that I had many friends, but once in prison I realized that it wasn’t like that, being that almost all of them disappeared. I don’t really blame them, because they were “friends” of convenience or interest. I miss some of them, because I thought I had a good friendship with them, but as the saying goes: “life goes on.” Thanks God that the few friends I have left have made my path an easier one. I truly thank them.

I dedicate the following message to them, but especially to a very dear friend of mine, the one that if it wasn’t for my situation, I would have liked to be with her. But that’s another situation and I know that that’s what she’ll always be: a very dear friend. I won’t mention her name here, but she knows who she is.

Sincerely,

Pedro

Friendship Sets Us Free


Being friends is not “having” each other, it’s not possessing, it’s not dominating.

Being friends is counting on each other without schedules, restrictions, or obligations.

Beings friends is knowing that a unexpressed compromise already exists, simply made with the intuition of the heart.

Being friends is building a common ground over many shared things, of much intensity, of much affection throughout time.

Friendship is not a dream, it’s not just an ideal of youth.

It’s a reality if we want it to be that way and if we know how to recognize, appreciate and cultivate it.

Years may go by, distance in the maps may be greater, but the hearts of those who are our friends will always be near and in contact no matter what.

Because friendship is a force that, as time goes by, if we have really known how to build it, grows on its own, consolidates itself, increases, and the hug of two friends who find each other after years of not having seen each other, means so many things, like: “I know that you’ve always been there”, or “I never stopped remembering you.”

Friendship is an energy that flows between people and makes that two beings like you and me feel fulfilled and sure of having someone to count on, someone whose company comforts, whose memory strengthens.

Because a real friendship,

Sets Us Free.
