Lucky As Can Be

It is good to surround yourself with people who never let you down. Individuals who stay with you during the ebbs and flows of your life. You can only count on very few individuals. I can only count them with my either hand's fingers. I am not saddened by the fact that I only have a very small circle of friends. They are true friends indeed. They are vocal about their being lucky about having me as their true friend because they have benefits. But for me I am even luckier because they are the ones that stood the same after all these years. They never falter the most meagre. We went through some trials and challenges of our relationships aside from the fact that distance was really the first issue at stake. But they have always been there for me no matter what. So, I always think of them and include them in my plans specifically with my penultimate goals in life. Wherever I may settle I will definitely be with them no matter what. Now, I am very happy because I have a partner to call my own. But I have the whole family I can call to build the empire I am planning in my mind. These members of my empire have proven how they stick to me in all aspects including financially. They literally lent me money and not just any money but monetary means to survive especially the time of pandemic. They let me use money without any interest and even offer installment payments because they understood how challenged I am right now. I made a lot of wrong decisions in my life that accumulated my indebtedness now but along the way it taught me lessons I can share and inspire everyone. If I can only tell how serious it is, you can't probably imagine how I manage them. But really these very few individuals have been their for me. They considered me actually blessing for them but the truth is I am way more blessed to have them. How many individuals are in your very circle?

They say that you will find your true friends when you are at your lowest point in life. There your true friends stay and stick with you while those that aren't will stay away from you. I think that is the purpose because we all are at some point in life to experience lows to be able to see the value of each and every people around us and chose the ones that will be compatible with us.

@Neil43 True that is why when you are low at times do not despair and look around you who will stay and help you and those that will avoid you because they cannot take advantage of you. It is an opportunity for you to see who they really are in your life.

@rsa101 The right time to see who your real friends are. I totally agree with you.

As the popular saying goes "a friend can't be known in prosperity". Because when you are successful especially when it comes to financial matter, that seem to be a magnet for many to befriend you.

@Neil43 true that. When it comes to finances, people often forget who their true friends are .

For me, once financial aspect is involved this is really when you can count a true friend.

It is better to have a few to avoid complications in many things.

It is good to have even a few but real ones who can always be there most especially during financial crisis.

We all have differences and busy lives apart from each other. We get together on Christmas. I have a kindred and close friend from another state, with whom we still write (traditional snail mail) to each other. She calls me from her landline phone.

Friends can be the ones whom we can rely on especially during our tough times...But it's kind of hard to find the real ones...
