Friendships are a crucial dynamic to life. Not just any friends though; you know the ones I’m talking about. Those few select friends that you absolutely love to chill with. These are the friends that you can call at 2 a.m., and unless their phone is dead or they are, they’re going to answer. They don’t come along often, but when they do, you know it. These people help shape and define who you are.
Lucky enough for me, I have been blessed with friends that inspire me to be a better person each and every day. They encourage me when I need it most, help me sort out every day life situations, but most importantly, they’re along for the adventure. What I mean is, none of us know what our futures hold, but we do know that we have each other, and that is extremely important. These four girls have taught me new things about myself, and helped me evolve into the person I am, and still becoming. In saying that, these are the four types of friends that I believe every girl should have.
The Madison friendship. The only word to describe a friendship like this is spontaneous. It can include anything from random hikes, to touring abandoned school houses, while documenting with their camera every second that passes. This friendship is one that keeps you on your toes. Although you may never be sure what your adventures may entail, you can always be assured that with this friendship you are never bored.
The Kalyn Friendship. If you have a friendship like this, there is never a dull moment. This friend is always down for a movie night or going out. Either way, with them, you are bound to have fun. They are sincere, always honest with you, and if you’re at odds with someone else, then they are too. They’re always there to support you, and although you two have immense fun together, you can also study together, which makes your friendship that much more diverse and deep.
The Camille Friendship. You know those friends that when you get around each other, it almost seems like you will never stop laughing? And sometimes, you laugh so hard together your stomach hurts? This is the friendship that I have with my friend Camille. You can laugh at anything, even each other, which of course, you do. When you’re together, anything and everything is hilarious.
The Amber Friendship. If you have the Amber friendship, it means that even if you two go days or weeks on end without talking, you can still pick up right where you left off. This friendship ranges from going out to laying on the couch watching Netflix to eating your weight in pizza. There is no doubt in your mind that they are always there for you no matter what.
The truth is, the people you surround yourself with become a part of you. If you’re lucky like me, they turn out to be people that only help you grow and make you better. Each of these girls makes me proud to call them my friend. Whether you have a Madison, Kalyn, Camille, or Amber in your life, don’t take it for granted, and never forget to tell them how much they are appreciated. We don’t have a choice as to when our days end, but we do have a choice as to who we spend them with.
Choose carefully, for the people you decide to spend time with, you will become. As for me, I am certain I made the right choices.
