Friends

"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." ~Muhammad Ali
My friends mean the world to me. I honestly have NO IDEA what I would do without them in my life. Without my friends, my life would lack many things: extreme laughter, great happiness, fond memories, hilarious pictures, multiple inside jokes, crazy adventures, meaningful talks, tiring sleepovers, movie findings, music interests.. I'm sure there are many more things, but those are just the few that popped into my head at the moment. There are so many things that I have experienced that never would have happened if not for the friends I had and have. We all grow apart from some friends over time, but the memories will last forever whether the relationship does or not. You can't take back the things that happened, and in my opinion, that is a very good thing. I wouldn't be the person I am today if not for what I have gone through with the people in my life. Sure, friends fight, but they also come together at tough times. Friends make each other cry sometimes, but they also make one another laugh until they can't breathe. There will be bad times with your friends, I'm not going to lie. But never forget the good times. Don't let those moments slip away unnoticed. Keep those memories stored in your mind to bring up whenever you need a good laugh. It's a guaranteed way to lift up your spirits. Don't take your friends for granted. They are precious gifts meant to be kept close to our hearts forever.
True friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
