Let's Be Friends!

Friends are a big part of my world! One of my best friends and I started this blog.

When I was younger, I thought I had a best friend. I floated in between several "BFFs" when, in reality, that "best friend" was just another friend whom I happily called my BFF. To give you an example, about four years ago, when we were planning my birthday party, I was so excited to have so many of my friends coming that I said, "This person is my best friend, and this person is my best friend, and this person is my best friend! They're all my best friend!" Really, I wasn't quite sure what a best friend was.

Now, I have three super close best friends whom I can actually call my best friends. Maybe we won't be best friends forever, but I'll enjoy our friendship now and cherish it more and more each day.

I decided for this post that I would interview someone about being a good friend. My younger brother has a handful of friends, so I decided to ask him a few questions.

Me: What do you think makes a good friend?

My brother: A good friend is someone who-

stands up for you

helps you with school

you can trust

you can tell secrets to

Me: How do you think anyone could be a better friend?

My brother: You can be a better friend by-

keeping your word

stand up for them

Me: Let's say I'm about to lose a friend because of a fight, etc. Do you have any advice?

My brother: You should-

apologize

be nice to them

try to make it up to them if any of their belongings were broken

Me: How do you make new friends?

My brother: You can-

talk to new people

play with them

engage them in a game

This is just a little advice, but maybe you can apply it in your own life. I love this one quote about friends:

So no matter where your friends are, as long as they are good friends, you can always feel their presence.
