Best Friends

Best Friends

I believe in friendship. I believe that everyone deserves a best friend and no one should have to go through many of life’s tragedies by themselves. In your lifetime you meet many new people and some you will never see again, but there is those select few that empower your life and change you. They help shape who you are and influence your actions, beliefs, and personality. Most of “these people” are the ones we call friends. Friends will always have your back.They are the ones that will always remember your birthday, favorite holidays, favorite color, even your favorite drink. And they will always, always lend a shoulder when you may need one.

Ever since my eighth grade year history class, my best friend has stuck with me through thick and thin. We’ve been through almost everything together, and without her I’m not sure what I’d do. Our looks are completely different. I’m tall, brunette and have big brown eyes. She’s short, blonde, and has hazel eyes. Whatever one of us do not have, the other makes up for it. The one thing we do have in common is we’re crazy. Especially together! That’s what makes us unique though. Every summer we spend almost everyday together. Every morning we wake up early and get ready to spend it at the beach soaking in the sun and jumping off the pier. In the afternoon we walk back home, grab a lunch, and take a quick nap. Then we’ll get ready to spend the night at the carnaval with new friends we make. Almost every night we see things that we are forever lucky to see in our lifetime. Throughout spending so much time together, it made us become that much closer. We share things we would never share with anyone else, and we become closer every year. Friends will forever change your life, and i’m glad mine are. It’s the things that we will look back on when we are old and wrinkly, the times that we shared, and all of the crazy things we did.

I believe in friends. Best friends, new friends, old friends, and all, because they are what truly make our lives enriched and worth living. You should be proud of who you are and the friends you make.
