Friendship

In life everyone will meet many people to be your friend, but you will make only a few true friends. Friends are the pearls of our life. To me friendship is about believing in your friends and helping them to achieve all they can or want to do in life. We are there for each other with hugs, advice, and whatever comes along.

I consider Lin to be a true friend. A true friend is there for you when you need them. To have a true friend is a remarkable thing. To find someone that shares similar interests, who cares about whom you are and what you are doing. A true friend is there for you when you need them. Someone who you are not embarrassed to cry in front of, who you can tell the deepest darkest secrets to and know they will be safe. An old rule of thumb is that a true friend is someone you can call after months or ever years and speak as if not a day had passed. Lin and I have experienced this, we were parted from each other for about two year and half while she was away at her freshman year in high school and I moved to New York to spend some time with my parents. Once we came in contact again with each other to attend university it was as though we never skipped a beat.

True friendships come along so rarely, and I am so thankful to have met her that we must move past anything that threatens them and see the big picture. Without our friendships, we are indeed lost. Whatever happens, we should always keep our true friends close to our heart. The bonds we make during these days will serve to keep us going in the months and years ahead.
