Family is born into your life while friends are people who choose to be in your life. A good friend group is something that everyone needs, whether it is only two others or ten.Friends are always there to pick you up when you need them. Friends are the most important people that you can choose to surround yourself with. They help to make up who you are.

A good friend is the kind of person that you know will not only be there when you are having the best day of your life but also the worse day imaginable. Everyone deserves that type of friend. A solid friendship is one that will grow old with you, one that does not stop because of distance or minor disagreements.

Friendships that you hope your kids find as they grow older.As you move on in your life you will meet every kind of person there is. Tall, short, white, black, maybe even purple. People that you would never expect to meet or even find yourself communicating with.

These are the best people.

People from different backgrounds and nationalities that you can put all of your differences aside and find what things you do have in common. Do not get me wrong, it's amazing to have friends just like you. It is great to find people close that are just like you, that you can bond with but get out of your comfort zone.

Find someone that you wouldn't normally talk to, form a friendship and see what you learn. You do not have to have a "clique" or a "squad". Those people normally are not the greatest group of friends anyone.

Two solid, never back down individuals that you know will always have your back through every adventure or detour is the best thing that you could have. Find those people, enjoy your life with them and never let them go. Your life will suddenly become so much brighter.
