In high school I've never really had friends that I could call my "true" friends. I had people I could lean on and they would be there for me but not people who I considered true friends. A definition of a true friendship is when someone knows you better than yourself and takes your position in your best interest in a crisis. I mean I know there have been people who have been there for me but ever since I was a senior in high school it all changed for me.
Having a relationship that fell through really opened my eyes to what a true friend was. It made me realize that friends that I have had in high school were not the friends that I thought I had. Those friends decided to take sides after the breakup and made me feel like everything was falling apart. But when I became a freshmen in college that all changed for me. I was able to find my true self and in my best interests my true friends.
It took me awhile to figure out that the friends I once had were not the ones I would make my bridesmaids for my wedding. Those friends would be the ones I met in college. The ones that would be there for me in a crisis. The ones I could call up and say I need you to be there for me or I need this, and without a doubt in my mind they would be there. I want to thank you for that.
You know who you are, Love always,
