My Best Friend

Who is a Friend?
The definition of a friend is relative to different personalities with their different
backgrounds, orientations and beliefs. However, a conventional description of
a friend is; someone you care about. Caring about someone goes beyond the
ordinary meaning of the word. He or she must cherish the other enough to call
it love.

Now love is built on trust; a friend is someone you trust, at least, to a

reasonable extent. If I can’t trust you, then I’m in trouble having you as a
friend. Where there is no trust, there is no love and where there is no love,
there can’t be friendship.

Who deserves to be Called My Best Friend?

If a friend is someone I love, then my best friend should be the one I love
most. Best friends are usually fond of themselves. When two friends get used
to each other, a strong mutual understanding is created. At this level, their
friendship hits new heights.

Understanding is very important in friendship. A person is most likely to pick

the friend he or she understands the most as his/her best friend. These kind of
friends must have become very compatible and would easily share almost
anything because of their trust for each other.

One may opine that not everybody has such a friend. So, it may be expedient
to consider another definition of a best friend as simply; the best amongst your
friends. However, most people in such a case would not recognize a best
friend amongst his/her friends. But just as we started, definitions of concepts in
friendship are relative.

My Best Friend:
Now, I’m about to discuss my own best friend so my beliefs, strictly, are
adequate enough at this level.

My best friend is Steli. Not a best friend but my own best friend, ‘bestie’, as
some would say, is one, among many I call friends, who has chosen to stay
distinguished and I have accepted her proof of trust.
My best friend is my first friend, an acquaintance, one who has offered me
presence, wasted and utilized time with me, won my trust and respect, shown
me love and why I should love, supported and defended me, had my back and
stood by me. My best friend has not just done these things to me but has
made me see reasons to do same to her.

My best friend is a unique companion, the one among my friends who does
the best things to me, for me and with me. She is simply indispensable and
indescribable. She is not necessarily my lover but I love her.

My best friend and I are a team, we struggle together, we lie together, we fight
together, we save each other, we back one another and we survive in this
order. We may not be one but we make one. We may not be so strong but
united, we stand tall.

My best friend, favorite pal, is the one among my friends I have found myself
loving most.
