I Met My Best Friend

Helen Keller once stated that “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” Friendship can be defined in many different ways. For example a four year old might say that a friend is the other boy that gave him a cookie. While an adult says someone to talk and relate to when they need it. They are also formed in a plethora of ways. For instance, the two four year olds could grow up staying friends, or you meet some random person in the supermarket and start talking, or even through another friend. Friends are part of what makes life fun, being able to enjoy the joyous times with another person, and lean on them in the challenging times.

In my real life, my friends and I have shared a happy life for a long time. I have many good friends and I like them very much. They give me a courage and vigor. If I don’t have a friend I can’t enjoy my school life. I always have a lunch with them and we enjoy girl’s talking. When I have a problem I ask their advice. They think about it seriously with me and cheer me up. Friends are one of the most important things in my life.

Life wouldn’t be the same if friends didn’t exist. Since one could not ever know when a friend will come by and remove that loneliness that have been longed in the hearts. That is what should be called a true “best friend.” Those are people who continue to be loyal no matter what happens, unless it’s serious, dead serious. Although those type of friends aren’t the only type of friends one could have. There are also true friends, normal friends and frenemies(a friend that became an enemy). Worst type of friend that could one could ever have is a frenemy, but a friend who spills a secret is even worse. These type of friends differ on people who were trusted the least or most, depending on their trustful relationship with that one main friend. Continuing on, there just aren’t a lot of trustful friends in this vast world. That’s when trust issues begin to form between, slowly building up until one of the two or three friends fall and back away from the group. Friends could help other friends to fill in that loneliness deep inside of many different people. That is when friendship begins to show its true colors. Friendship could make up different relationships as well as breaking them apart.

The human species is inevitably a social species that has depended on other members since birth. We’re social creatures that need other people in order to be well and thrive. Naturally, surrounding ourselves with others and fostering close relationships are the

“It’s not where you are in life; it’s who you have by your side.”–unknown. Companionship is friendship and having someone you can trust. For us this quote means that companionship is very important in our life. You to have someone you can trust.

Relationships are a Major Key to Success Life is hard, and it is necessary for us humans to have a friend to help cope with it all. A friend is with you through thick and thin; giving moral support and celebrate your victories. Many social science studies are backing up that friendship, love, and compassion are keys to a joyus and healthful life. However this fact is not new, Mary Shelley knew love was mandatory for any person to thrive even back in 1818 when she wrote the book Frankenstein.

There is a picture on my fridge of my two best friends and me on the last day of Kindergarten, rosy red cheeks, smiles that could light up the night on our faces, the innocence of being five years old beaming from our bright eyes. An image that might outlast our friendship, but will forever be in my mind. All through Elementary school these two remained my best friends. Our little circle of friendship slowly grew as more people started to enter our lives for different reasons and we developed small friendships that threatened to pierce the bubble of our little trio. Nevertheless, our friendship didn’t falter. I believed this was the way friendship would always be: a tight-knit group who would alway be by each other's’ sides, through thick and thin. And then came middle school.

As I mentioned in my previous reflection I had originally wanted to give a eulogy as my ceremonial speech. After a lot of thought I decided against it and instead decided to give a speech on something more achievable, a maid of honor speech. This seemed as if it wouldn’t be that hard to write because I can base it off of an actual person, my best friend Ashley. Giving this type of ceremonial speech would allow me to incorporate what I wanted to in the eulogy, but in an easier and more effective way. By giving a maid of honor speech I could be humorous, serious and emotional throughout different parts. It kind of all came together because my best friend is engaged and I might have to one day give this speech at a wedding. Thinking of things

Another reason many people chose to have companionship rather than being alone, including myself, is that friends offer different view point to situations that are clouded to us. When a group of people come together and exchange their thoughts, many ideas are obtained which open our eye to see what they see or believe is right, challenging our opinions and helping us to learn from one another. Several occasions, when a person is confronted with a problem they are hesitant of which course of action to take, they go to a close friend or companion to get reassurance and help them chose the “right” course of

Friendship is one of the most important thing in this world. Friends are the people who support the decisions you make, encourage you to pursue your dreams, and love you despite your flaws. The loyalty and devotion between two friends are usually shown through real-life interactions. However, written words can also show how much two friends care for each other. Wedding speeches and text messages seemingly have no connections to one another; but through purpose, audience, and conventions such as tone, diction, and grammar choices we see that the two genres reveal how close two friends are. Furthermore, we see how the purpose and audience change the content of the two genres and how the audience change the tone and diction of the writing.

In life having friends can show their worth. Not everyone wants to be alone. And for those who do not want to be alone, it shows its value to be kind and a friend to someone just to have one for themselves. Showing loyalty and kindness towards another shows a friend you care. Thus having them in turn be able to turn into family. Willing to help out whenever and be there to support. Give them the gift of time as well some attention, because no one may show them attention. So treating them right will result in them treating you right and being a friend.

Friendship. We all see it in movies, we read about it in books, and social media doesn't stop posting pictures about it. Since I was little, I hoped to grow up having a best friend. I've met people who promised to never leave me and that they would protect my back. However, it did not take them that long for them to destroy my happiness. Nevertheless, through the pain and confusion, there were people who came, bandaged my trust issues with their smile, and comfort, and taught me to believe in that there were still people out there that believed in friendship.

Best friends are the people that will never lie to you, always be there for you, and never leave your side, or so they say. Jose was one of the best best friends I've ever had, he was there for me every time I was upset and was always there to make me laugh and smile. Everything was perfectly fine but then it began to go downhill on the first day of school. “You’ll always be my best friend,” he said, but he lied. “I’ll always be here for you,” they said, until they left. People will always leave even though they promised a hundred times that they won’t, they always will and I had to learn that the hard way.

Everyone needs friends. You have friends to have fun, to go on adventures, and to laugh...together. They are there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on. They encourage you, listen to you, and accept you for who you are.

Every person in their life time had felt the feeling of being alone, not wanted, or not good enough. Having people that you can count on to make you feel important and loved are that people that you want in your life. Those people that care about you, and make you feel warm and fuzzy in the inside are who you want to depend on. There are mean, ignorant people in this world that can say things to make people feel bad about them self. I am lucky to have friends that support and make me happy when I have a bad day. All people deserve to have one at least one person to count on to be there for them. People that are supportive, dependable and caring are the definition of a good friend.
