I used to wonder how one felt the spark whenever it came to having best friends.
All around me people had their best friends or besties and I wondered what happened to them that made them sure that they could be best friends forever.
I am not the friendly type and I like to keep to myself alot so finding a best friend wasn't on my to do list and I wasn't bothered.
They say the best friendships are formed by chance or fate.
And that is exactly the way I got to have a best friend.
By Chance.
My best friend and I didn't grow up together, we didn't know each other prior to the time we met and we didn't become best friends on a whim.
It happened gradually and with time I got to realize that I had finally found the spark in a friend.
We met in a church, we used to attend the same church. We still do till this day and we live in the same neighborhood though far away from each other.
I can't quite remember how exactly we started talking, but we used to hang out in church especially during church activities.
We knew the same circle of other church members we knew then as time went on, we started getting pretty close.
We didn't even notice that we had found the spark between us.
Maybe she did notice, but I didn't but that doesn't matter. :)
Over the years we drifted apart and it wasn't a drifting caused by bad blood or any negative element, it was a drifting that happened naturally which only helped to strengthen our bond and make the spark between us shine brighter.
After the drift, we finally reunited and it was blissful. It was like meeting a long lost loved one after so many years apart.
It was just a few months really, but it felt like that.
We have been in touch ever since though we don't get to see each other physically often, but we keep in touch.
I was able to find the spark that leads to a strong friendship because I found someone who has same attributes like me.
We share the same thoughts on a lot of things and we think alike too and we like the same type of things and we love our privacy a lot.
That is the happiest part for me. :)
I can comfortably tell her all the weird stuff going on in my head with the confidence that she'll understand and she always gets what I say.
She can be a bit crazy at times, so can I. :)
It's almost like a perfect match.
Before I met my best friend I used to think I'd be all by myself without any particularly 'close' friend and I wasn't all that bothered about it because there was nothing I could do to make people truly understand me.
But I found someone who does and isn't that a happy ending?
Many individuals find it hard to understand the way I do things, they don't always understand my personality and so they either leave or get cut off, which is fine because LOL!
I have a best friend now! 🤓
And that is enough.
This is inspired by the #HiveLearners weekly contest.
I found the spark in the end and it was worth the wait.
