Forever Friends

So I decided that its been a bit since my last post so I needed to come up with a topic for a new post. There has been a lot going on with classes picking up and other college dramas so its been tough to sit down and focus on what to write for you readers out there. So with this writer's block I was looking on Pinterest and I noticed that my best friend had pinned a lot of pins about friends, so I started to think about it and I decided a would talk about friendships.

So I started thinking... I would say there's about four different types of friends; just friends, good friends, close friends, and siblings. Just friends are those people in your classes or at work that you get along with you just haven't hung out with outside of that environment so your not really that close. Good friends are those people that you bond with over something such as a sport or an activity that you know you can go to if you needed to. Now for the other two I think that they are very similar, close friends are those who you can talk to about anything and who will support you in anything, the people who will tell it to you strait and have your back. However, siblings are those few friends you wish you were related to that you can talk to whenever, about whatever, the kind of friends that randomly show up at your house after you and your boyfriend broke up cause they can, or let you cry about it but take your phone so you don't make a stupid mistake cause they know you deserve better. I wouldn't say there's a huge difference between siblings and close friends that's why we call them both best friends.

Being at college for almost a month now I'm starting to realize that forming new friendships isn't always the easiest thing to do. Not that it isn't possible but rather that it takes time. As the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day." I think this has been very true for me. I have formed a lot of good friendships especially with those on my ultimate Frisbee team, but I've also learned that some things just don't work out and its not a failure to change a situation like to move rooms.

So while I'm building new friendships and starting a new chapter of my life its nice to know that I have friends back home that care about me. I had a great conversation with one of my best friends today and its refreshing to know that no matter where you might go your not facing the world on your own. That best friends don't change because of distance, and you don't need to talk every day, but when you need them they have your back. The other thing I like is that they support you in your decisions even if it seems like no one else does.

So to all my friends old and new..... Thank you so much for everything you do/ have done/ will do in my life. God Bless you.
