As corny as this sounds don't you love having those type of friends that you can be completely goofy with , have fun with, be yourself around and yet have serious conversations from time to time?
Friends are the ones who accept you for who you are and will always be there for you no matter what. Whether they are old or new you carry a piece of them where ever you go. You grow as a person when you are surrounded by good people that are close with you and you know you can trust with everything you tell them. They watch out for one another, protect one another, help one another out, stand up for one another, but most importantly love .
Over the years, I've realized how many friends I've made everywhere I go and I couldn't be more thankful for it. Each person in my life has made a major impact with all the advice, knowledge, ideas they have and come up with. I know I can turn to them whenever I'm feeling in a rut (which doesn't happen often at all) and just to call up and hang out with.
You want those type of friends that are positive with everything and help see the whole picture, but are brutally honest at the same time. There is nothing better than having that Rachel to your Monica (if your a fan of friends you'll understand that one).
Don't you remember after your first year of college coming home over the breaks and summers talking non stop about all the people you met, dated, or became friends with and all the ruckus y'all got into? As well as after you graduated college and moved on to a new chapter with new people, new job, and maybe even moved to a new state with new everything. Regardless of where you are in life, you always know you've got friends who know you inside and out and don't even have to explain yourself because they know you.
