What does real friendship actually sound like? True friends speak in love and act in love. They tell you the hard truths, not to judge you, not to wound you, and not from jealousy, but because they want your life to flourish. They are the ones who say the difficult things at the right time, not after the damage is done.

I share how true friends can look you in the eyes and say: I love you. You are worthy of love. You might want to reconsider that choice. They speak up before the fall, not once you are already hurting.

True friends also apologize... in the language that you understand.
