A Best Friend
Friends make life livable. Regale on the thoughts of times when we were carefree and young. The mountain treks, the swimming lessons and the bid to conquer the world with new antics seem to be impossible without the motivation of friends. Peers influence us right from our school time. Guys like to pose a macho image and girlie teenagers love to doll up. This is more exciting when friends suggest us looks and makeover changes.
A best friend often surfaces in a group. This is about certain chemistry and you realize that a best friend is a person who knows you well. A best friend can be a man or woman and is able to understand you thoroughly. Though life makes us tough and we opt for various options, a best friend is always there at a phone call distance. Staying in touch with your best friend never seemed a chore and most times it’s about a telepathic connection.
Like all relationships in life, we need to invest time in friendship too. Often we are bogged down with personal commitments and also do not find time to indulge in the problems of our near relatives. But making time or bonding with family-friends is vital for a good social life. Life poses us with problems and we are capable of handling the same. But the company of a best friend is assuring and promises positive happenings.
Sometimes small things matter. Like the phone call that pleasantly surprises you when your friend remembers the day of your first job or the hearty wishes she sends during your anniversary. Not by material comforts but by warmth is a best friend important to us. The birthday card is an evergreen memory. A best friend can be found any time in life like in school, college or your neighborhood.
With so much of communication possible, it is easy to renew contacts with our old trusted friends and also maintain the same. Make it special for your friend’s birthday this year or give her or him a surprise visit at a coffee shop. These are memories that one needs to cherish and also have an attitude of gratitude towards God for giving you a best friend.
