Friendships

Any friendship takes time and effort in order to survive. Both people in any relationship need to be willing to work to create a healthy and successful relationship. Most people have those friends that they have been friends with forever, those friends that they grew apart from, those friends that they meant and became friends with instantly and those old friends that you are no longer close with for a reason. One of my best friends is someone I have known since I was in kindergarten. When we were younger, we were not very close, but by the time we got to middle school we were best friends. Ever since then, we go through periods of being around each other a lot and being busy with other things, but one fact remains the same; we always make time for each other and we could go to each other with anything. She and I tell each other everything, including the things that we do not necessarily want to hear. Sometimes this creates tension, but it also brings us closer and has caused us to really trust each other. If she never told me I did something wrong, then I do not think we would be as close as we are now. I also trust her with anything. I know that if I tell her something, she will not go and tell other people; which is something I have learned by being friends with her for so long.
