I believe in long term friendships. Having a best friend
that you've known a long time is like having a sister you actually
like, a therapist, a partner in crime, a confidant, and most
importantly, someone you would do anything for.
I've known my best friend for my entire life. I know
everything about her, she knows everything about me. I have know
problem telling her my secrets, a neither does she. Sometimes, I
don't see her for months at a time, but when I do, you would think we
see each other everyday.
My best friend and I used to fight a lot when we were
younger. We'd say, “I hate you, I never want to see you again,”
but the next day we'd be back together, as if nothing happened.
That's the best part about long term friendships, you know too much
about that person to just give up and not be friends anymore. That's
how you know if you have a friend or a best friend. I remember the
day when we were probably 7, she came over over to my house and we
were building a tent in my basement. She had been over all day, and
we were having a lot of fun when her mom yelled down that she had to
go home. In that moment, we both ran upstairs yelling,”Mommy! We
didn't fight today! We didn't fight today!” it was the first time
ever, that we had gone one “playdate” without getting into an
argument. And since that day, we haven't gotten into a fight.
Friendship is one of the greatest things in the world
to me. I believe that everyone should have a friend that they've
known forever, and will hopefully know forever. I have one, and for
that I am grateful. This I believe.
