Can you proof read this: Friends come and go throughout life. Connections between friends develop and can be temporary or last a lifetime. As you grow, you undoubtably will come to terms with that fact. Eventually, you will see the difference between these short-term and long-term friendships. There can also be friends that only retain friendships if they benefit from that relationship. The characteristics between these friends vary drastically.
Long-term friends outlast time. The bond you develop with these friends can not be broken. Friends involved in these relationships help each other navigate through life and remain present throughout it. They display loyalty, acceptance, and understanding. These characteristics encourage that bond to sustain throughout life. However, short-term friendships have a bond that can be broken. Those involved in a short-term friendship tend to lose interest in maintaining that bond. As life progresses, you notice that the relationship is harder to maintain. Therefore, the friendship will come to an eventual end. These types of friends may exhibit qualities that are short-sighted, untrustworthy, or superficial. Finally, there are the friends that take advantage of the relationships for their benefit. These friends have traits like selfishness, unreliability, and entitlement. The relationship with these friends is often one-sided and leave you feeling undervalued.
The circumstances friendships provide can be both good and bad. It’s important to reflect on the relationships you have with others to appreciate the value of true friendship.
