Friends

Friends are a gift from God. Friends are people who get you through the day when you think you aren’t going to make it. Over the past few years I have begun to realize that it isn’t about how many friends you have or how good looking your friends are. It is about how close you are to your friends. I have been lucky enough to have some pretty great friends over the years. Some were just in my life for a little while. While others have stuck around. The ones that have stuck around are the ones that mean the most to me. Not to say that my other friends who have gone a different way don’t mean anything to me. However the friends who have stayed by my side are the ones who have impacted my life the most. They have made me the person that I am today. Without them I really don’t know who I would be. I have realized though lately who are my true friends. There are some people in my life who say they are my friends however the way they sometime act make me question if we are really friends like they say. Now I know that friends are going to disappoint you and they aren’t always going to be there for you. However some of my friends lately have really surprised me with what they say to me and to my other friends. This has made me appreciate my true friends more. I love my friends who will just sit there and listen to me vent most of the time about boys or just what has gone on during the day. I have a friend who I have been friends with since middle school. Never would I have thought when I met her that we would still be friends. Not to say I got a bad impression when I met her. I just knew that it was hard to keep friends especially when you hit high school. However we made it through high school and I am so thankful to have her in my life. We are always there for each other and we always vent to each other. Most people who meet us I think would be surprised that we are so close because to be honest we are complete opposites. We have some things in common but for the most part we are two different people. I am so blessed to have her in my life. Friends are always supposed to be there for you. Over the past few weeks I have lost some friends however I know that is for the best and that the friends that are with me now will be with me for a very long time. Friends are what get me through the day. I would not be the person I am today without my friends.
