My friends complete me.

Someone you call a confidant, a person who is there for you through thick and thin and who loves you for you is what we all crave.

I am glad for the ones in my corner, I do not have a lot of
friends, I might have acquaintances, but the few I call friends? let me just say God blessed me with lovely and beautiful souls.

I remember the time I needed someone to come thru for me, and my friends showed up, I don't even know who in particular I am to write about but then because almost all in my corner do the most for me.

Just like we have different body parts of makeup as a whole, my friends are like that body part hehe, they complete me.

Let me start with Tee.

I and Tee have been friends for over
12 years now, she is the calmest of all my friends, we shared so many beautiful memories, cried together, laughed together, and visited so many tourist centers of attraction together, we've fallen out and made up, at this point, she's just not a friend anymore, she's a sister. We were like twins (rocked the same outfit and do almost everything together) whatever she buys for herself she buys for me too.

Eventually, she got married, she is not so good at calling or reaching out to her friends, but trust me her heart is pure, the day she'll eventually reach out, we'd talk for hours catching up on the times we've not spoken. The beautiful thing about this babe is her heart, Tee will show up, no matter how difficult it is for her. I remember when I just started learning fashion design, she was like my mentor, after my fashion class, I'll run to her because I understand her explanations better, she'll take her time to teach me how to cut certain styles, and she's never stingy with her knowledge. I learned a lot from her, and she's also a good adviser😅.

Wunmi but I call her my Bambi

Bambi and I have been friends since 2009😁😁, but we've seen just twice, She stays far from where I live, Bambi is the real definition of loyalty, sticking right to the end, this shows that distance doesn't come between true friends, I wouldn't tell her I'm in need but she just knows, I don't know how she does it, I'll just see a credit alert on my phone courtesy of Bambi, "friendship bonus" like she always says 😊.

Bambi is that one friend that will pray with you and pray for you, in rooms of opportunity, she'll mention my name. I remember when I was in dire need of a job, and she had to talk to her husband and a couple of her friends to get me a good job, asides from that she came up with great ideas on how I could start a side hustle.

Rukayat

I and Rukayat have been friends for over 6years now, gosh, she's the best thing that ever happened to me, she's my happy place, Rukkie is a strong lady, she's been there for me, let's call her my ride or die, baby girl.

She doesn't have the world to give me but she gives me her time, and encouragement and I appreciate her.

Rukkie is one of the few people who have seen me in my most vulnerable state and never took advantage of it. That's a rare kind of kindness you know. She held my hand and raised me when I couldn't go on.😊Rukkie can't stand me crying, she cries too🤗🤗.

Dimzee
My 15years friendship, hehe funny how we don't have selfies together but we see almost every day, she stays in my hood, she is my high school friend.

Dimzee is the wildest of my friends, she's on the left-hand side of the picture in the collage downwards.

She knows how to scold me😅😅, she brings out the best in me, she's the life of the part😃, never a dull moment with Dimzee. She knows how to hype me a lot🤣🤣🤣. My food plug, wait a min, do you have a friend that orders food for you on a daily?😅😅, when I'm at work, she orders food for me every day.😊 Her heart is special, she's my support system too in words and indeed.

If you do me wrong, she'll come for you😁😁

Kessie

This babe you see here is the most caring soul I've ever met in my life. She's so thoughtful, she's observant too, she's one friend that can read your mind and mood and make sure she leaves you happier than she met you.

Kess knows how to take me good shots, she knows my perfect angles, 😃, that act of kindness is rare🤣.

Honestly, I appreciate each one of them and I reciprocate the act of kindness they show to me, for fact, I make sure I do not take them for granted and I ensure I make them happy too.

Some are older than I am, some are younger than I am, and some are my age mate, we are of different tribes too and different religions, so I accord each one of them the respect they deserve, that's what true friendship is based on; love, honesty, respect, kindness, and forgiveness.
Distance, age, and tribe don't mean a thing when it comes to true friendship.

Thank you for introducing us to your friends, and sharing what you like about them. Although this is a nice read, which provides lots of details, it is not truly what we are looking for when we ask for creative non-fiction. What is creative non-fiction?

The link above provides an in depth explanation, to quote one section:

In short, creative nonfiction (CNF) is a form of storytelling that employs the creative writing techniques of literature, such as poetry and fiction, to retell a true story.

Although we learn what you like about each of these friends, we are left with little feeling of the moments you have shared together. We hope you will continue to explore your love of writing by considering the above article, as well as our catalog of writing tips. Once again, thank you for sharing your story. Please remember to engage with other members of the community.

Friends are like siblings indeed, especially when you completely understand each other.
