Are you my best friend?

I realized there's always these little things that happen on facebook, which makes everyone get/or do it too but then the craze just dies after that. Recently the craze is the 14 bestfriend thing, which is total bullshit because all the app does for you is check the people you recently talked to either through comments, likes and wall postings and list the people 1 to 14 as your bestfriends. I thought it was cute that my actual bestfriend was number one on my list so the app didnt totally piss me off. But it also tells you whose been stalking you! So today's random topic is, bestfriend.

BEST FRIEND:

When do you consider a friend a best friend? Is it when you tell them absolutely everything? Or you just have that type of connection to them? Or were they just always there for you?

Different people will have different opinions, therefore different thoughts. There's some people out there that consider a friend a best friend just after a few encounters. I remember back in grade 10, when a friend that I didn't really talk to that often made me her best friend. Which really puzzled me. Is it because out of all her friends, I was the only one that she considered closest? On the other hand, I had trouble identifying which were my best friends. Like I know that I had a best friend when I was little, but after that phase of moving and meeting new people, everyone was just my friend/close friend. Until recently I realized, oh shit I do have a best friend. Someone who I tell everything to, or ask for favours, tell them my depressing moments, tell them the moments when I'm super pissed off. Literally, everything. A couple years back, I thought it was so sad to have a best friend whose two years younger. But now that I realized, it's the whole age thing when you're younger. When you were a kid, being two years older kind of meant something. But now that I'm older, two years is literally nothing. Pretty much like the whole marrying someone whose 40 when you're 30 thing, but you wouldn't go out with a kid whose 10 if you were 20 (PEDOPHILE ALERT).

I prefer having two best friends, one from both genders. Doesn't matter if it's an issue that is so logical with such a common sense answer. Different sexes usually have totally different opinions. Guys are more general on things. When you're in a super bitchy mood, because of some bitch, they'll say things that are more of the general picture and tell you that's not how it really is and tell us we're over thinking and usually ends up cheering us girls up. Whereas girls, see the bitch, understand your bitchiness and agree with you. I find that girls talk so much shit. I love it. But come on, we only say it because it actually happened or that's just the way she is. Girls are born gossipers!

My guy best friend is actually my boyfriend. Is that bad? I mean I'm so bad after breakups. I have a huge tendency to avoid them for a long period of time and then slowly talk to them. But I find it cute that there's also other people out there that consider their significant other as their best friend. I mean that's the whole point right? You want to spend your life with someone you can tell everything to, why wouldn't you?

There's also people who consider their parent/parents their best friends. I just can't do that. I mean my relationship with my parents aren't too bad, but there's just things that I just simply can't tell my parents. Probably because there'll be awkwardness and also based on the fact that they won't understand. I know parents would understand because their older, because they lived their life longer so thus they have so much more experience compared to us, but meh, there's still that feeling.

Bottom line: Having best friends are great! And if you think you don't have any friends, or just haven't found a best friend yet, they're out there my friend. Or you're just totally oblivious that they were just sitting next to you this whole time. Identify them and bond!
