Genuine Friends: How They Show Up in Times of Need

The only way to know if someone is truly your friend is in times of need. It is during the period when things are down and you have a lot going on, and you are in need of help, that those friends who come to your rescue during these times are your genuine friends.

I am a lucky guy to have people around who turn to my needs; they have been helpful when I most needed help. Even on Hive, I have made some friends like that too, and I am grateful for that.

This past week and the days that have passed have been some of the most stressful for me. As most of you know (to my followers that read my post), I have gotten a new apartment in which I plan on staying alone, and the stress of moving has been very tough, both physically and financially.

I have gotten financial help from a friend on Hive, which really helped me, and I also got massive help from my former roommates. I never thought I would get this much help and support from them because I was leaving them to stay alone in a new place.

At my former place, I had two roommates, both of whom are on Hive, and we were thought to be the most peaceful roommates my neighbors have ever encountered, according to one of them. One of my neighbors said that they had never seen roommates that worked in harmony as we did. We had our arguments at some point, but we resolved them quickly.

My choice of leaving was because I wanted my personal space, I wanted some of my friends to easily visit me, I wanted my girlfriend to be able to stay over as much as she could, I wanted to be able to read with my accountability partners during exam periods, and there are many other reasons I cannot think of at the moment.

I didn't know how my roommates would take the fact that I was leaving them to stay alone, but they didn't get annoyed; instead, they supported my decision, borrowed me funds when I needed it, helped me carry my luggage, and we even went out together to get foodstuffs that I would need in my new apartment.

They made my move to this new apartment less stressful than it would have been if I were to do it alone. I didn't even think I would be able to do it this fast, and at the level of stress I encountered, it would have been more stressful.

I am grateful to them for this; I appreciate you, @maykeys and @d-lead, for this help. We may not be roommates again, but now we are brothers. I love you for always being there. Special thanks to @selfhelp4trolls; he is a really good man.

I know you guys are expecting pictures of my new apartment, and I would show you soon after @creativepearl comes to ABK to check it out in person.

Awww.... That moment will make you realize how great some friends are. They are always there to support and even lend you help if you need. Though they would feel sad not seeing you around as before but guys are now brothers whom they could easily walk up to anytime.
Anyways, we are expecting pictures of your new apartment.

This is just the point man.
Many people always disappear when you need them the most and they later come up with excuses.
I am really happy for you because you are blessed with gifts of men, this is the most valuable blessing you can receive from the almighty.

We are waiting for the apartment pictures sha.😎

It is a good thing to have a nice circle of friend. I will say have just a friend is better than having a bad circle of friends.

I think the most important part of this post is your behaviour. I am very sure if you had being a bad friend the case would have been different.

Your friends are nice though, some people wouldn’t want good thing for a friend. Though you are leaving the place but you aren’t leaving them.

Can’t wait to see your new apartment tho.

Though you are leaving the place but you aren’t leaving them.

Exactly the truth... I still have them at heart and would just be at arm's length if they need me.

Awwnn, this is so nice to see.
I like the way you openly love your brothers. It is so nice to be able to appreciate them like this.
Besides, this article shows that you are also a great friend and would definitely help them out if the tables were turned.

Now when exactly is creative pearl coming to ABK because I need to see pictures of your new place ASAP.
And how far the table that the carpenter is making for you?
