Friendship is one of the purest relationships in the world. As Friendship Day is around the corner, people are occupied in making plans to make their boon friend feel special on the day. In between all these, we tend to overlook the true significance of the day and instead concentrate on artificially making your them feel special.   

True friendship is nothing but staying with each other through ups and downs. Good ones stay with you no matter what and play a big role in ensuring your mental health.

If you are confused about how you can make your bond stronger, below mentions are some of the ways:

1. Make time for them out of your busy schedule. Even though you have tonnes of priorities in your life, at times, friends need to feel they are special in our lives. Sparing a day for them from your busy week can strengthen your bond.

2. Stop taking them for granted. Loyal friends are not everywhere found and if you got one in your life, then don’t miss them at any cost. You might ignore them now, but remember true ones are the only one who will stick beside you no matter what. Amid your busy lives, a call or message would make them feel better.

3. Right now just stop planning for a trip with them and just carry on with it. We have all those trips which we were planning with our friends since long but not executing it. This Friendship Day, finalize your plan and go on that trip that you always yearned for.

4. It is consequential to tell your friend how much you love and care for them. At times, phone calls or messages or gifts doesn’t hold as much as essence that expressing love holds. Take time out for them and tell how much you are blessed to have such loving human beings in your life - they deserve it.

These days, a lot of friendships are breaking due to misunderstandings or communication gap. You might have new friends or new priorities, but never forget that one person who was there with you almost in all the situations. Investing some time for them is not at all a bad idea.
