dude don't you worry, i got your back.

We all need somebody in our lives. Someone special, someone really close to our heart. Someone we can share our deepest secrets with. Someone we don’t have to say anything to, yet they’d know exactly what’s on our mind. Someone to pick us up when we fall and say “it’s alright you can start again” or “it’s alright everybody makes mistakes”. Reading this you must be thinking of your boyfriend or girlfriend or probably your better half. But I’m talking about the best friend. Right from the first days in school we choose our friends, friends who sometimes stay on for a lifetime. Or sometimes those whom you lose touch with and end up finding them on social networking sites after ages, like my mom did. Now they decide to meet up with each other when they visit their cities.

I made a lot of friends in my life. Some which ended badly like a bad relationship. Even though now thinking of it I find those fights silly and wish I could go back in time and still have them in my life. None the less, things happen for a reason. I made my first best friend in my first grade and fortunately she is one friend who is still with me, and now is like my sister. Even though she lives half way across the world we never fail keeping in touch. Obviously when she left school I did make other friends. Some who were bossy, some were just plain mean, some who were extremely possessive. I met one person in my eighth grade that I thought was extremely similar to me. We turned out to be the best of friends. And since our parents knew each other, sleepovers and shopping trips together were often. When we moved to college we made new friends, or rather different set of friends. And slowly drifted apart. The friends I made in college thought me a lot in life. Or college itself has thought me a lot in life. I have found friends that I know will stand by me come what may. I have even found friends who are really sweet to me, but when I’m not looking well, it’s a whole different story.

I always used to watch the F.R.I.E.N.D.S episodes on TV and wonder will I ever get friends like that. Well I have found friends like that. And I consider myself lucky to have found them. These are the people who will stand by you no matter how old you get, or how fat and ugly you get, or however far you may live from each other. And even if you can’t always see them you know these are the people you can count on. People say only blood relations are the ones that you can count on, well I don’t agree. They say mothers are god sent angels in life to always guard and protect you. I say friends are angels that will protect you even if your mom couldn’t. Friendship doesn’t come with a price tag or a lifetime warranty. It’s just a promise made from one heart to another saying “Dude don’t you worry, I got your back.”
