Sometimes when we think about the people who have had the most profound impact on our lives, we know that they are our best friends. I met my best friend Nikki at university when we studied together in class. She has encouraged me through hard times and celebrated with me in good times. I trust her completely because of who she is and she is so much more than just my friend.
It’s easy to find people you like, but it takes more effort to find someone with whom you can share your deepest secrets. Nikki is the one who is always there for me, and we always care about what's going on in our life. She's the one I spend every day with, the one who listens to me talk about everything, and the girl who knows me better than anyone else.
My best friend is not just my friend. We are family. We used to spend all our time at recess playing together and before school started, we would walk to school together every morning. After we got home from school, we would head over to my house and cook dinner together. In 4 years, this is how we became so close, and I'm sure that our friendship will last for many years to come.
I can't count the number of good memories we've shared together, but the time she took care of me when I was sick really touched me. She made sure I had what I needed to feel better and helped take care of me when I couldn't do it for myself. She cooked my favorite dish and even called my mom to tell her I was doing better and to let her know what she needs to bring over. The love and warmth she has for me we an amazing feeling that makes me feel like anything is possible for us.
She is the type of person who knows how to make me feel good on a bad day but also brings out the best in me. We have been through thick and thin together, with no judgment on either side. Our friendship endures because we are always there to support one another and never judge each other for what is happening in our lives. We are there for each other through sickness and health, good times and bad, highs and lows.
Friendships are an integral part of our lives, shaping our memories and influencing the way we view the world. Friendships start in different ways. Often a friendship will endure because there is a shared interest that strengthens the bond between two people.
Friendships are special and that's why they last. There must be a strong connection and commonality between both people for a friendship to work out. When we're younger, we're more likely to befriend those who share our interests and personality, but as we grow older, it's difficult to make connections with anyone. We don't have to like the same bands or share the same hobbies to be friends, we just need to find something in each other that binds us together.
Friends show their love through kindness and friendship. Friends will help you out of a bad situation, even if it takes a lot of time and effort on their part. They will be there for you in hard times, but not necessarily happy times. A strong, lasting friendship is more than just a fun night together or a celebration. It's difficult to find someone who is there through thick and thin, but those types of people are worth holding onto for the long haul.
