My network of friends is a reflection of who I am

avatar
(Edited)

My network says a lot about me. They are my reflection; like-minded individuals who share a similar vision in life. I am blessed with an amazing circle of friends, both in real life and online. No man is an island; we need each other to succeed in life, but it becomes easier when you have those friends around you with a similar mindset.

My circle of friends are success-oriented people who would push each other to their capabilities until they saw a significant positive change. They are the type that have proven their genuine friendship to me in my difficult phase of life. They are the type that encourages each other to remain positive no matter the raging storm. A lot of the time, I share with them what my family members aren't even aware of, and they are never disappointed. People that carry my burden as if it's theirs, and I do the same to them as well. Sincerely, it baffles me on the massive love these friends of mine usually display for me many times. I have asked myself several questions about whether I truly deserve all the love.



Being an extrovert, I have made a good number of friends, but that does not mean that my network is large. This is because not all friends we make stick with us for a long time; only the genuine ones do even when distance come into picture. Nevertheless, the ones who have stuck around have been supportive of my life generally. @amiableamara and @floraada have been such longtime friends of mine who have shown me nothing but unique love, care, concern, emotional support, financial support, parental ideas, spiritual support, etc. What more can I ask for in a friend, and why shouldn't I let them know that hive is changing lives by making sure that they register their presence in this space?

Flora, Amiableamara, and I

The above picture was taken during a chevron exhibition program here in Nigeria. When I got this 3-day contract job, I didn't hesitate to inform them about it, and our teamwork was massive throughout the program. I learned a lot from them as well. These are ladies of inestimable value, virtue-driven women, goal-oriented ladies who wouldn't let me remain stagnant in life... I love the way they push me. I love their vision to be great in life despite our gender, and I have been influenced positively by their nice attributes.

I have other amazing friends who I may not showcase their images here, both the ones in a far distance, but trust me, the kind of circle I have got are golden friends who have inspired me to leave my comfort zone and pursue my goals without looking back. My virtual friends are not left out, and I can tell you that when choosing friends, I am usually intentional; our similarities and purpose in life bring us closer, if not we repel in no time.

Will my network have my back when times are bad?

I am certain they will. Now let me tell you what happened just yesterday and today. It's been a hectic week for me. Between yesterday and today, I went through an ugly experience that affected my mental health a bit, my online activities, etc., but then, the amazing friends I have made made the weight of my experience look so light. This is just 1/100 of what they have done for me in the past. There has never been a day that I experienced downtime that my circle of friends didn't come through for me. I wouldn't pray for a more difficult time, but with what they have shown me so far, I believe they will always have my back, and I will too whenever there is a need for that.

In summary, I will proudly say that I keep the right kind of friends; they are lovely and have been a blessing to my life.

How about you?

Who is in your circle of friends?

Amazing. Friends are like family and they usually determine who we are. I am glad you were able to build a nice circle of friends.

There is nothing like having a group of people that share common goals with you, people you can rely on.

It is a good thing you brought them to hive. By the way, y’all look great in the picture.

Having good cycle of friends is one of the few best things that can ever happen.

Especially when everyone in the cycle share similar goals; which would become easier to plan, execute and achieve.

I will surely write about my cycle of friends too (I love the way you talked about yours)

Having such influential friends is always profitable. As they have a thousand reasons to keep you active. But the fact that friends know more depth of us than our family sometimes annoys us. What if they don't prove their loyalty?

That's why a person like me keeps a lot of restrictions while doing "sharing is caring" in gossip, secrets and family issues. I wish your bonding flourish over time 💕

You are right, however things that are too sensitive isn't wise to share with them more than family members no matter how good they have proven to be. It all depends on what is been shared.

I appreciate your nice comment and contribution to my post 🥰😇

Being an extrovert,

Omo! I finally meet someone that agreed to be extrovert.
People (including me but I'm usually introvert though) usually claim be to introvert 😄😄


It's so good to know that you're highly connected with those souls

It's always a beautiful thing whenever we surround ourselves with people who can stand by us through thick and thin. It's no lie that finding genuine friendships is a very hard task nowadays because one can't exactly tell the true intentions of other people.

You're very lucky to have friends like floradaa and amicableamara.

I don't think I have a circle of friends 😂, I'm very picky and carefully when it comes to making friends.

Your type of friends shows the real definition of friendship, those that will be there for you during hard and tough times.

Well, in case your admission of friends is open kindly notify me, I believe I'm interested 🤗😂.

Thanks for sharing
