The Best Friend.

So... what exactly is a best friend? Is it someone you can rely on and call and talk to at any point of time? Someone that you text or call at any time and they would be eager to talk to you? I read this one in a book, someone that will lend you their car at any point you really need it? Does everyone have that person that your parents consider them their part-time child? And do their parents feel the same way about you? Someone that you hang out with all the time, someone who knows all your secrets and how to read you?

Is that it?

Okay, so who's your best friend? You don't have to tell me, just think about it. Are you one of those people who have one person that just jumps to mind, and you're smiling right now because you just thought of a funny moment with them? Are you one of those people who just have a bunch of people who jump to mind, and you can't really choose one?

Or are you like me, and can't think of anyone like that.?

To my friends, (since the majority of people who read this are my friends) I love all of you, and I consider most of you close, really close. I wouldn't have been able to get by these past few years without my friends. I don't mean to offend anyone by saying I don't have a "Best friend". I call a lot of people my best friends, and trust me, you are one of the most important people in my life, but for the sake of this post... based on the top description, I can't think of anyone.

Am I just putting to high a standard on best friends? I mean are they just someone who you can normally rely on and, so maybe you don't hang out with much, but hey, this is the 21st century! We live in the generation of texting and facetime. We don't actually see each other.

Maybe it's my fault. I'm kind of clingy.. and by kind of I mean very. And I have trust issues. I had some people who I thought of as my best friend, but when one of them hurt me I shut them all out, even though some of them had done nothing to me, at all. Maybe they weren't understanding enough (in my personal opinion), but is that really enough reason to dump a friend? No. So, maybe it's me. I can't let anyone get close enough to have a "best friend". You know, maybe I do have a best friend, I'm just too blind to see them.

Anyways. I'd love to actually hear from some of you guys. Tell me what your best friend is like, and what you think a real best friend is. And please feel free to yell at me, I'm used to it.

Again, I really REALLY don't mean to offend anyone. I really love all of you, and I couldn't get through, anything without you. :-) God has given me some of the most amazing friends on this earth, I just keep hearing these descriptions of best friends, and I just wonder... is it just me?
