What makes a good friend, and when should you move on?

Tweet

Sometime back I was faced with the need to reflect on what I thought a friend was, and when to know it was time to move on. To me a friend is someone that accepts you where you are at, but at the same time is willing to help you grow as a person in all facets of your life. I also realized that there is such a thing as toxic friends and it is these that we must know when to end in order to continue a healthy growth of other friendships. It is not that the people who are toxic are horrible people, it is that we need to be willing to realize that they are not healthy for our garden of life, but may prove fruitful to another's garden. What do you feel a good friend is and when do you feel you should move on?
