Real friend test

Phrases like these always make me wonder.
'Real friendship' or 'real love', what's up with that? Aren't it phrases like that that make us search for a lifetime, thinking that what we have isn't the 'real thing'? That there should be something more, something better out there?
When maybe it's already right in front of us, something beautiful and special, maybe not 'real' according to definitions, but real enough..
Maybe not fitting our expectations of how it 'should be', but special in it's own way.
Shouldn't we just cherish what we have, instead of trying to put a label on the 'realness' of it?
Don't know, maybe I'm just getting to contemplative over here??
