Stacey and J Sbu get real: "Do you consider yourself a good friend?"

Friends are the family we get to choose. 

With that comes a lot of responsibility. 

As adults, we are all aware that time is precious and we need to work hard at maintaining the relationships in our lives in-between raising families, juggling work and taking care of ourselves.

That's why, unfortunately, something that tends to suffer in this whirlwind of life, is our friendships.

It might not even be a conscious decision or an obvious thing. We might not even realise we're neglecting this part of our lives until we wake up one day and notice an empty space that wasn't there before.

How often do you talk to your closest friends?

When was the last time you really asked them how they are doing and spent time listening to them vent or share?

Like with any relationship, it takes effort to maintain it, to let it grow and - as the very clichéd but the very true line goes - it's a two-way street.

So if you had to be brutally honest with yourself, answer this question: do you consider yourself to be a good friend?

Stacey and J Sbu got into their truthful bag and shared with KZN whether or not they consider themselves to be good friends to others.

Here's what they had to say:
