the best part of having best friends, by BW

Having a group of friends is the biggest blessing I could have ever asked for.

The definition of friends is someone who has mutual affection. To me it truly means more than that. Yes, of course a true friendship is love each other, but  it also means being loyal to one another.

In my opinion, loyalty is the most important thing in a friendship. I know my friends would stick up for me in any circumstance. Not only will they make me feel amazing about myself, they give me a shoulder to cry on when I’m sad.

The best part of having a group of friends is once you become close to one, you become close to all. When I was really little Beall was my best friend and as we grew together, we not only became closer with each other, we also grew to know other people too. As a friend group we also grew with each other. We all had differences but when we were together we were never not happy.

There are so many things I love to do with my friends but eating and sitting around at a table with no phones is our favorite thing to do. We also love going on car drives when we listen to music that we know all the words too.

But I truly believe that if we were locked in a room with nothing but each other, we would be entertained.

Friendships like the ones I have don’t come over night, there are ways to build them.

Putting yourself out there is the main goal to set to find the people who will stick by side.

Loving your friends, being honest, and having patience might not be easy at times but it is definitely worth it.

I thank my friends each and everyday for all the fun they being to my life. If you have friends like mine, or will in the future, always remember to never take them for granted.
