My favorite Best Friend-ship is that of Meredith and Cristina's from Grey's Anatomy. But they have their reasons and I can't have a friendship like that. Also, their friendship is the most ideal one.
“That was the thing about best friends. Like sisters and mothers, they could piss you off and make you cry and break your heart, but in the end, when the chips were down, they were there, making you laugh even in your darkest hours.”
-Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane
When I was much younger, a best friend was someone you hung out with all time. Someone you could roam around with all the time, play crazy games, call up for homework and discuss 'Hannah Montana' with.
Then this weird thing happened. The definition of a Best Friend suddenly began to alter. And it was no longer the homework buddy, because homework didn't matter. It was no longer the one I played crazy games with because there was no concept of games left. And, eventually, the people I began roaming around the most with, grew to become my sore enemies.
This transformation happened over a period of years. There came a time when I had no idea who my Best Friend really was.
But I grew out of that too.
This sudden change had ambushed me. But, in a way, it only made the definition clearer.
They say a Best Friend is one who sticks by you through thick and thin. But maybe that's too narrow a definition.
I think, for me, a Best Friend is just someone you enjoy with. And that sort of includes everything. You can't hate someone you enjoy with? You can't want to slap them, either. If someone hurts you, you can't like them. So I guess, someone who has been there long enough for you to enjoy their company constitutes for a Best Friend.
Best Friends can be hidden anywhere. For some it's their childhood mate, for others it's their mom or their lover. It's so varying. But one common entity is that everyone enjoys in the company of that one person.
Being friends with someone even though each moment with them is hell for you, is pointless.
So now, I only want a Friendship that lasts, for the good.
