There are moments in life where you feel like you're on the verge of losing your mind. You don't feel like anyone can relate, and you feel like life is knocking you down. During difficult times you need a support system and with strong foundations in friendship, there are always people cheering you on and who you can return the favor.
Only when I left home for the first time when starting college did I truly start looking at the friendships in my life and appreciating them for their quality. I am lucky to say most of my friendships continue to overcome the test of time and remain guiding lights in my life.
In regards to my oldest friendships, as we pursue our individualized dreams, we still manage to find time to share new chapters of our lives with each other. I recently visited a friend of ten years at law school, and it's amazing to see friends succeed in making their career goals a reality.
Some of my other friends I've had since junior high school have landed in the medical field and education, and I can't help but feel extremely proud. Social media, in particular, allows friends to remain more connected than ever when in different locations. In modern times friends show their love and support through social media.
My friends and I continue to keep in contact daily and tend to be fans of comical memes and Snaps. I can't thank them enough for everything they have helped me with over the years. Friends are the family you choose and if you choose correctly you're never really alone.
