This I Believe

I believe that friendship needs to be demonstrated with the act of kindness. It is not the usual idea of knowing whom you are speaking, but knowing the actual purpose of feeling comfortable and willing to open up to them that makes the word friendship a very special meaning. Many times, I believe that the person you see everyday is the person you will know for the rest of your life; however, life is a fact of illustration of unknown happenings that would anonymously pull the both of you away.
Three years ago I transferred from Guam to Saipan and attended Saipan International School. At first, I was ashamed and embarrassed when many people stared at me. As it was my first day of school, I met a classmate who always acted a bit weird from all those other people. He tended to stand out more than anyone else in class. He introduced himself to me as if he had known me for a long time and touched me as if I were his girlfriend. Three years passed, and we have become the best friends that would rather stand out and show we have become brothers from different mothers. Till this day, I enjoy the things that we do and talk about, whether it is about school subjects, girls, and personal things.
At one point, a friend may become more than a friend. That person becomes a “lover”. Sometimes it takes more than one time to get the right person, but in the end it is all the worthwhile. Most people in life do have to try more than once, and through the excruciating pain of losing a first love you become stronger and stronger. When you find that one special person, they become you’re everything, even though that person wasn’t your first love. Everything meaning, best friend, soul mate, companion, etc..
Friendship is actually one of the most important facts in life. You see, not only are friends there for just hanging around when you’re bored. They’re there for the laughs, the moments, and the makings of memories. Friends are there for whenever you need to tell secrets, or you just want to get away from the world and laugh as hard as you can. Some friends last for a life time, and others are there for those few moments. True friends are not the people that you’ve known the longest, but are the people who know you the most.
