Friendship. It's something that we are taught from a young age. We are taught to be nice to other kids — share with them, play with them — because doing that can only lead to friendship. Friendships are a total hit or miss. Some people that you come across will stay in your life forever, while others will be there for just a specific phase in your life.
Not everyone is a forever friend, but that's OK. Regardless of if they're in your life for 15 days or 15 years, you will always have a friend in them.
As we are taught the concept of friendship, we come across the idea of "forever friends." A friend that will be in your life forever, will do everything with you; travel with you, be in your wedding and some day maybe raise your children together as they become forever friends. The idea is a beautiful thing; to have someone by your side forever. What more can someone ask for?
However, how can you be sure about who you classify as a forever friend?
Throughout my life, I've seen that you honestly can't be sure. I've watched as my mom lost some of her closest forever friends and me being so unbelievably shocked that adults get into fights and fall out with each other, too. As you go through school, you come across hundreds of people, so you would think that you are bound to find your forever friends there.
Well, you probably will, and the best part is that it's the people that you least expect.
In college, you think that you will have found many forever friends, your future bridesmaids for sure, but some of these people will come and go like the weather. That's OK.
I've noticed that throughout my life, I always struggled with finding a forever friend, and I sometimes get extremely upset and discouraged because I'm unsure if I've found one yet. For those of you that are in the same boat as me, unsure if they'll ever find forever friend, stop worrying. It is just one thing in our life that we can't rush. I know that we want the friend to be perfect and worthy of us, so that's why it's taking so long because we just haven't found the one yet.
I know for a fact that having a forever friend is overrated and not the end of the world if I don't come across one. I have so many people in my life who are just as great and reliable. Maybe my forever friend is right in front of my face, and maybe i just have yet to find them, but hey ... that's OK.
