One thing everyone in this world should have is a best friend. Doesn’t matter how old, who they are, what they do or anything, we all need a best friend and here’s why.
A lot of times we take our friends for granted and don’t realize how much we actually need them. We assume that no matter what, at the end of the day they will still be there. Nobody should think like that about their friends. At the end of the day we do hope that no matter what our best friend will still be there, but we shouldn’t have the mentality that we can do anything that may hurt them and expect them to stay. Best friends mean more than you may realize.
A best friend is someone you consider your closest of friends and someone you rely on day in and day out, even if you don’t speak every day. We don’t realize that when something happens, good or bad, we immediately go to our best friend to tell them what happened and wait for them to give us advice. Best friends will tell you exactly what they think, exactly what you should do and will stand by your side through it all.
Best friends have seen the best in you and that’s the version of you they always see. They’ve also seen the absolute worst in you, but don’t let that part of you scare them away. They’ve been there through breakups, deaths, bad days, you name it and at the end of the day they still stick by your side no matter how long it takes you to be happy again. They will be your ultimate partners in crime. They will never rat you out. They will never tell your secrets. They will never let you do anything to take away your happiness, and that’s the most important part. The way a best friend protects you is one value that you should always be thankful for in your friendship. When you don’t see something bad happening, they will and they will tell you straight up. Your friends will always see things from another perspective than you, and even as frustrated as you may get with them if they don’t agree, you’ll see in the end that they were trying to protect you from getting hurt. Best friends don’t care if you’re crazy, in fact, they’re probably crazy too. Best friends love you, protect you, and want the best for you because they see you for who you truly are, so don’t take that for granted.
