What is your perception of the phrase 'Best Friend'?Everyone has their own point of view and I respect that but to me, the word doesn't really exist, because of certain factors i will explain to you now.
In this world, you will probably meet a lot of good(and bad too) people whom you want to be close to, not because they are famous/popular among other people or not just because they share common things/thoughts as you do. It's also because you get along fine, and do random things together. you share your views with them and vice versa. You don't just stand up or lend a listening ear to them but go through thick and thin together. You are not afraid to show your flaws to them and so are they. Most importantly, it is how much difference they have made in you life since they came along.
You can begin to love a friend from the first time you talk to them. It does not really matter about how long you've known them or that they are closest to you, but what they have done for you throughout your whole friendship. Each and every one of your friends have their own special qualities and flaws, so why should you bother calling her/him your best friend when your other normal friends do the same for you or maybe even more? Who knows, your BEST FRIEND might eventually forget about you once they have found new friends. But i am not saying all though, because i have friends who still do remember me as much as i do of them. humans are not perfect.
You can never trust just anyone. There is a cliche, "Friends come and go, but only true ones stay" for a reason. It is hard to differentiate a true friend and a fake friend. Some disguise themselves as being 'heaven sent', just for that particular moment so that they can be close to you for different reasons, but what the fuck for? Why the fuck are you using them? When u find someone else who is more interesting, you totally forget to acknowledge your other friends. But yes, there are friends who are not worth your time. they are close to you for years, but silently pulling you down and backstabbing you. I advise you to stay away from them. Better yet, stay away from those who love to gossip. You'll be safe from getting hurt in the end.
I could write a few more paragraphs, but being a very lazy person, i will stop here. just to summarise things up, every one can be a best friend, an enemy or maybe family to you, but its who you choose to be YOUR friend. i do have a few close friends whom i really treasure and hopefully, will never forget. Each one of them has made a difference in my life. Friends make life beautiful, at least to me. Goodnight people!
