Friendship

Saint Thomas Aquinas - "There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship."
Before this year, I did not believe how prized true friendship really is.

Over the summer, I hung out with my closest friends at a local mall. Three people came with us who I had never met before: one soon-to-be freshman and two soon-to-be seniors. They were extremely chill and bright people that were so fun to be around, but one of the seniors befriended me right away. The first words out of her mouth to me were "I love you." Before this day, I had only heard about her through other friends of mine, so this was completely foreign to me. How can a girl I've just met already know she's going to be great friends with me? That day turned out to be the greatest one I had had in a long time. This girl who I had only just met that day walked around with me, gossiped with me, acted completely insane with me, and help me freak out my boyfriend. (When went into Macy's, she dragged us up to the baby section. She and I were discussing on about how cute all the baby clothing was and how much we wanted children ourselves while my boyfriend at the time was standing there completely confused.) I will never forget that day I met her.

Now that we're well into the school year, I've been able to get know this girl, and what a great person she is. She's so musically gifted with her voice and such a gorgeous beast. We can talk about anything and the words just flow from each others mouths endlessly. It's the greatest thing having a friendship just click like that instantly. Never before had that happened to me. Sure, I have a couple of other great friends I could call "best friends," but sometimes when we talk there are awkward silences or the conversation just feels uncomfortable. With this girl, whom I shall henceforth refer to as Bear, none of that has ever occurred. Not only can we talk, but her happiness and joyous mood always lifts up me when I'm down. It's great just being able to talk with someone for two minutes and have your mood lifted tenfold, you know?

From here on out, Bear is and will always be the person closer to me than my very own sister, the second half to my burnt out brain, the bread to my butter, the Shawn to my Gus, the twin to my twin, the Phineas to my Ferb, the best to my friend. Together, we are cooler than absolute zero. She's already helped me through some real tough times, and I can only hope I will have the opportunity to repay her in the future in some way or another.

I love you, Bear!! ♥ Your prediction on the first day we met was completely correct. Thank you for everything.
