I would consider myself very lucky when it comes to friends…wherever I go I have always had the best friend circle that anyone can have and hence when it comes to parting ways, it has always been difficult for me. Whatever good I’m today is solely because of my friends, because I spend most of my day with them rather than my family and they understand me more than my parents do!
For me friends are not people who you only hang out with, go for parties, have fun etc. The meaning of a “true friend” goes much beyond that!
True friends stay with you in happy times to share your happiness and in your sad times they are the people who motivate you to keep going rather than providing a shoulder to cry on! They know what your each and every gesture means. They know when you are faking a smile and when you actually are happy! I have noticed this many times, Smita(one of my bessssttt friends) always knows when I am thinking or worried about some issue while my parents never suspect anything different in my behaviour. She knows me only for the last 4 years while my parents have known me since 19 years and yet they cannot make out what’s going on inside me. And I guess that’s the case with most of us…our friends know us better than many others.
True friends will never encourage your wrong behaviour and will always appreciate you when you’re right. When you achieve something, they will always be happy, much more than what you are…and when you don’t they’ll tell “there’s always a next time” (standard dialogue).
In school, I was a bit reserved kinda girl…I never interacted much with anyone and people would end up thinking that since I was a bright student I had this attitude problem. (I never had any, believe me!) Finally in 7th grade I became friends with the “most mischievious people of the school”, as described by my teachers, and we turned out to be friends forever...Destiny, destiny! I do agree they were mischievious but they helped me in knowing myself and presenting what I really was, to others! Having studied in a girls school I always feared communicating with boys but unfortunately in junior college I had to and that was ‘THE MAJOR PROBLEM’ for me at that moment. Then came the guy in shining armor (too much of exaggeration here)…Nitish (again one of my bessstttt friends). It’s because of him that I was able to talk to guys as normally as I talked to girls. I know it wasn’t easy for him to do so because I followed this i-hate-guys-and-i-won’t-talk-to-them ideology (at the first instance, I disliked him too because I thought he boasted a lot about himself). He has helped me during my worst times and I know repaying him would be impossible! I owe a lot to all my friends…I don’t know how good a friend I have been, but they all have certainly lived up to the title ‘best friend’! Tomorrow being Friendship’s Day I just want to say one thing to all my friends…Love you all!!
