It is such a beautiful blessing when you find someone who you just click with and has the same mind as you. When you find a best friend who would do anything for you, you've hit the jackpot. In this day and age where we're all connected through social media, we are more disconnected from each other than ever. We know people's daily lives through stories and posts, yet we don't know most of what's going on in their world. There is no doubt that making friends as you get older gets harder and harder. However, when you meet someone who just gets you, be grateful for them.
Having a best friend is one of the greatest gifts of this life. Someone who gets you, someone who knows you better than anyone else, someone who will tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear it. When you have a person who will spontaneously go to a country festival with you, buy you Starbucks when you're feeling bad, go to Target just to walk around, and watch 'The Office' all day on a rainy day, then you have the greatest friendship there is.
When you can cry about nothing and still laugh at the end of the conversation, it is something to appreciate. Having someone you can be vulnerable with and remind you how much you're worth, is the person you want to have around.
I know it's hard to find someone who just gets you, but be picky with who you let into your inner circle. These are the people who influence you the most and know your deepest, darkest secrets. Know that you deserve a best friend who will respect you and boost you up, while also being so honest with you.
It's been said that a best friend is someone who "understands where you've been, believes in where you're going, and love you for who you are." God has given us the gift of friendship and to fully dive into it is such a blessing. Once you find that, don't let anything get in the way of such a beautiful gift.
