Friends

We really take them for granted don't we?

They are there for us through the best of times and the worst of times. They are there to comfort us whenever we are feeling depressed, sad, miserable, or lonely, and truly show us what it means to just keep on moving in this crazy world. They are there to hold our hand and journey with us as we skip down the yellow brick road to each of our own "Emerald Cities." I've never really come out and said everything I like about my friends, and since I just downed a nice snack, I'm in a writing mood.

Now my friends are amazing people. They truly are. I go throughout life everyday and see some dumb people do some dumb stuff, but these people are different. They know who I am and they don't care about my faults, they just emphasize the things I am good at doing and keep me focused on them. They are there for me during my depressing times, and they try as hard as they can to turn my frown upside-down, and I appreciate them every little bit for that.

I have a lot of down times. More so than up times I do believe, however, my friends are always there to get me through these rough patches. Let's say I got a C on a paper, they offer a video game marathon that night to cheer me up, or a trip to lunch where all we do is sit, gossip, and laugh the afternoon away. It makes me feel better, and I truly believe my friends are what keeps me going in this crazy world known as college life.

BEST FRIENDS, or "biffles," as I affectionately call them, are a completely different story.

They are my life. These people are what make me keep going. These people make me strive for the next day and put on that Annie attitude and pray that the sun'll come out. I look to them for advice, friendship, or even just a hug to show how much I care for them.

If you are one of my biffles reading this, (or if not that's perfectly fine too), I just want you to know I love you with all of my heart. You mean the world to me and I could never ask for anything more. You make me happy and smile when I get the smallest funny text message from you that brightens my day. Since love is seemingly not so great of an option at the present, you are what keeps me going. You are amazing and I couldn't live without you. Yeah, sure, it sounds hokey and corny, but it's the truth. I love my biffles as if I was born and raised with them like brothers and sisters. They'll always hold the biggest place in my heart.

I took a personality quiz on Facebook today.

It told me my aura was blue, (LUCARIO!?!?!), and that I was the most compassionate person in the world, and I'm here to give love, bring it, and spread it. Well, ain't it the truth? I thrive on relationships with people and they are what holds a high notch in my goals. Yeah, grades and money are important, but I feel as though relationships are the biggest thing that I want to strengthen as I go through life, because even if I fall off of the tightrope, a safety net is always nice. :)

Friends, Best Friends, Biffles, they all share one common thing. Care. We care about others and how they are doing, otherwise, how would we be friends with people if all we did was not care? I cannot think of any reason.

And Biffles, if you are reading this, don't worry, the amount of love and care I have for you is to infinity and beyond. ;)
