Unlike your family, friends are different and unique. It is a truth that you do not have any liberty to choose your family, that includes your father, mother, siblings, etc. But the unique thing about choosing a friend is that you have this liberty right from the start whom you want or wish to be friends with.

Though friendship is not bound by blood, for many friends the bond of friendship goes a lot deeper than the bonds that are generally connected by blood. You make friends sheerly out of mutual affection. A friend is a person, on whom you have strong liking and trust and believe they are your go-to person. Isn’t friendship the most beautiful relationship that one cherishes the most, and a friend an invaluable asset of your life? Good friends certainly are.
