Cycle Paper 2

A best friend is not only someone you have a good time with, it is also someone you believe you can trust your life with. A best friend is the first person you call when the most amazing things happen in your life, and when the most horrific incidents happen. A best friend is the person you will always remember no matter what comes about. A best friend is almost like real family, a best friend gives the opinion you usually care most about. A best friend is the one who tells you the things you absolutely need to hear regardless of whether you want to hear it or not. A best friend is the person you usually can be around always and never get sick of. A best friend is someone you don't envy, and is the person you are grateful to have as a friend. A best friend is the one who will forgive you always, even when you've screwed up so bad. And a best friend is the one who even though you may have drifted apart from, when the time comes for them to hug you or congratulate you on an accomplishment or to console you on a loss.. they are the number one person you want to see, always because they are the person you've confided the most in and they are the person who knows you the best .. even when you both have changed.

A best friend is someone who would never intentionally hurt you, lie to you, deceive you, manipulate you, abuse you. Too often in life we take advantage of the people we love. Too often we don’t appreciate the impact they’ve had on our lives and the footprints they’ve left on our hearts. Sometimes though, people change, and become someone you never even could’ve imagined.

I recently lost my best friend, because somewhere along the lines, she became everything a best friend isn’t supposed to be. She wasn’t there for me when crying was the only thing I could do, she wasn’t there to hold my hair when I was puking my brains out. When I needed someone to talk to, and really confide in, it was no longer her phone number I'd dial. People change, it’s inevitable, you I guess I realized though, that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't worth trying anymore.
