When Mariama, one of my best friends, saw my portraits, of course she wanted one. And of course I could not say no. After the 8th attempt, here is it, C S Lewis once said, 'friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like arts. It has no survival value, rather it's one of those things that give value to survival.' 'Friend' is a word that is very loosely used today, but I guess a real friend is one who adds value to your life. When life is a struggle, its tempting to start cutting people out saying that friendship isn't really necessary, but honestly, life would be such a bore without some of the amazing people I know. People with no hidden agenda. Who are uncompetitive. Will buy you a coffee when your down in the dumps. Lend u a fiver or whatever when your short. Will respect your choices. Still be your friend when you've been a bit of an idiot. People who love you that much that you can laugh about your weaknesses together. People who know you that well that with one look, your both roaring with laughter. People you can dream dreams with and go on crazy adventures with. Who believe in you when you don't. Those are the friends worth having. That make life worth living. For all the others, I guess we can just be 'friends'.
