Friendship

Everyone needs a best friend in life. That one person who you can laugh with, cry with, tell your secrets to, and just be yourself around. Best friends are the brother/sister you choose. Isn’t the concept of friends kinda weird? We find someone who is as weird as us and say “I like you; we are now going to talk all the time, and spend time together”. It may seem weird but it’s what makes everyone happy.

I just want to do an appreciation post for my best friends Shelby and Micaylee. I’ve been friends with Shelby for almost 8 years and Micaylee for 3. They are the goofiest, weirdest, most caring girls you will ever meet and I love them with every fiber in my body. We may get on each others nerves constantly but we have stuck by each other. There have been fights, but there have been so many more great memories. We drive around at 11 pm, not knowing where we’re going, just driving. We have jam out sessions in my car. We have super deep talks at two AM during sleepovers when none of us want to sleep yet. We have been through it all and I am so grateful to call those girls my best friends and my sisters.

This year I lost a few friends too. For some, it’s very good and better for me that they are out of my life. Don’t ever stay in a relationship or friendship that is toxic to you. People come into your life for a reason, either to teach you a lesson or be a blessing. These past few years I have had a lot of both. The people who have stuck by me through everything are definitely a blessing. A few people came into my life and taught me to be careful who you trust. Not everyone truly cares about you. You will get hurt in life. But these people will only make you stronger.

All in all, friendship is what makes the world go round. I have no idea where I would be in life if I didn’t have my amazing friends. I also have no idea how different I would be if I didn’t learn the lessons I did. I have become a better person because of the people in my life. I am so grateful to everyone who has come into my life, and stayed.
