You’ve found your BFF.

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. 
William Shakespeare

No one could possibly ever have a happy life without first experiencing what it means to have a friend. We have all had friends and these friends have enriched our lives in ways that we can’t even keep track of any longer. There were some temporary friends. 

There are still some permanent ones. And there are some friends who we’re eventually going to have to let go and say goodbye to. There are some close friends who have drifted apart. And there are some casual friends who grow to become like siblings to us. There are some friends who were there for us during significant phases of our lives. And there are those that are always there for us no matter what.

But in that haystack of friends, there is always that one person who just so happens to be needle in that haystack. This is the BFF. This is the best friend forever. This is the one person who is probably the closest thing that you have to family without the two of you actually being related to one another. This is that special friend with whom you automatically run to when you want to share big news or important secrets. This is the friend who immediately springs to mind whenever you want to make plans for the weekend. This is the friend who is so incredibly special to you and who you would do practically anything for. 

This is the friend whose shoulders you cry on when your sadness it too much to bear. This is the friend who you know you can have fights with but still eventually find a way to make up after. This is the friend who sticks by your side even when you feel like the entire world is against you. Now this friend can take the shape or form of anyone in your life. And when you are lucky enough to actually find that friend for yourself, make sure to never let that friend go. There’s a reason why they call it best friends forever.
