Forever!!

“Best Friends Forever!” Sounds familiar? I’m sure it does. I’m positive that everyone once had had a best friend at some point in their lives – whether as an adolescent, a teenager, or even an adult. What is a best friend? It is clearly someone who will listen to your thoughts, your complaints and someone who will share your emotions with you, someone you’re able to offer full trust and someone that you love dearly. This type of best friend is commonly revealed in films and television shows, but realistically, how often would we meet these types of people? How often would you meet a person that will almost always be there for you? Regardless of being a teenager or not, a true friend will remain a true friend. Yet, I do admit friends are best to be discovered during the teenage phase, considering that during this ten-year teen phase, we [teens] are changing. We become exposed to a slightly different lifestyle, we discover ourselves within the margins of conformists or within ourselves, and we struggle to define ourselves and what we truly believe. I have had many friends. I’ve lost some and I’ve gained some. They come and go.
