"A friend is defined as someone you are not related to by either birth or by marriage, nor do legal ties bind you. Most social scientists agree that friendship excludes romance or sexual intimacy, or it has become something other than friendship.
Based on the twenty-five years I’ve been studying friendship, here is my list of the ten friends that every woman needs. It need not be ten separate individuals; some friend categories might overlap, such as The Realist, who is also a Close Friend and a Same-Sex Friend, or The Nurturer, who is also a Best Friend."
1. The causal Friend
A casual friend is someone who you like and who likes you, but the friendship is far from intimate. In contrast to acquaintances or those with whom you merely network, there is a connection and activities are shared. This is the easiest friendship to maintain. Some casual friendships may deepen and become a close or best friendship.
2. The close friend
In defining a close friend, you confide your private thoughts or feelings with a close friend without fear of repercussions because there is a mutal trust that confidences will not be shared. Unlike, "the one" best friend, it is perfectly acceptable to have several close friends.
3. The best friend
Like a close friend, the best friend is elevated to a high level of intimacy, but there is an assumption of exclusivity (although some report having more than one best friend, especially if the best friends live apart). A best friend may be harder to maintain after marriage. However, as long as boundaries are respected- the best friends do not form allegiances that threaten martial or familial loyalties--women of all ages may still benefit from having a best friend.
4. Same-sex friend
A same-sex friend helps you to validate or challenge your own perspectives and to be able to share about experiences along gender lines. Friends of the same sex, usually have a commonality about some experiences such as issues related to fashion, career, romantic relationships, or childbearing.
5. Opposite-sex friend
Fortunately, it is no longer immediately assumed that an opposite-sex friendship has to be something more. Since research has found that female friendships tend to be more intimate than male friendships, having an opposite-sex friend provides each gender-specific ways of connecting. In that way, a woman could have friendships with men that are more activity-oriented (and the male friends could find themselves more comfortable opening up emotionally to their female friends).
6. The nostalgia friend
You grew up together, went to school together, or once worked together. If possible, continue cultivating at least one nostalgic friend to help you to have the continuity in your life, especially if you are still single and unattached. A nostalgia friend reminds you of where you've been as a way of reaffirming how far you've traveled in life.
7. The role model
This is a friend who helps you go to the next level, whether she's better at hair styling than you are or works harder, or has somehow managed to find the right balance in her life among her career, romantic, childcare, and friendship pulls and choices.
8. The motivator
When you're feeling defeated or overwhelmed, the motivator brings you way up, as she inspires you, and inspires you to keep trying.
9. The realist
This friend doesn't put you down, but she does temper your enthusiasm and wild plans with welcome and well-meaning realism. She's the one who reminds you that going back to school is a great idea, but she also reminds you that you'll need to pay for it somehow.
10. The nurturer
The one who offers her help, if you want to take it. She doesn't just point you in the right direction for help. Even more importantly, she supports you emotionally by empathizing with your joys or sadness on such a deep level that it helps you to feel safer and stronger.
Yes, we need these 10 friends in our lives, but we also need to be providing these characteristics to our friends. How many casual, close, or best friends have you nurtured lately?

**PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON**
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you
know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have
expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide
you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for
the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring
the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled,
their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is
time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come
to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you
laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give
you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a
season .
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build
upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept
the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind
but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season
or a lifetime.
