sometimes it’s not about what happens between you and someone else; more often than not, what is more important is how they make you feel. of course it’s nice to have good memories with people, even bad ones to remind you to cherish the good. but how that person treats you, how they inspire you, what they mean to you. this is what separates them from other people. that’s why each friendship you have is so amazing. no friendship is exactly alike. some people you will connect with on deep, personal levels, others you will not. some may try to build you up and strengthen you, others will not. just like the human soul, no friendship is perfect..but remains beautiful in its every flaw. the friendships i have made in high school have not always been smooth; there have been trials to overcome and hurdles to jump inevitably. some of those problems proved to be too strong for some of my former friends to bear..but the others stayed. the trials were overcome, but we conquered them together. and the feeling in my heart when we succeeded - the power of a true friendship - was unlike any other feeling in the world. and that is what is important. the pictures and the memories are wonderful, yet they will eventually be lost or will fade. but the way my friends made me feel like i could be somebody? that is what i will remember for the rest of my life. ”it’s not about who you’ve known the longest…it’s about who came and never left your side.”
