BEST OF FRIENDSHIP

Someone asked me if I had friends. She said 'Who is your best friend? Don't you have friends? Who do you talk to? Who would be your bridesmaid?' And she ended it with 'you're such a loner' I just smiled and said 'well they are there' thinking to myself that at this point in my life, friends are at the bottom of my list of priorities! With what life has dealt me with over the past few years, I've realized life isn't all about posting different faces on Instagram and calling x and y my 'b****' it's not about making snap chat videos with x today and y the next! I have my friends. My die hard people! We might not talk everyday, they might not know what I bought yesterday, what argument bae and I had, who said what about who but they have my back and I have theirs. I can run to them crying and I know there's a shoulder waiting for me to lean on and an ear eager to listen. Just because we don't have group chats/ constant chats doesn't mean we don't keep up with each other's lives. It means we have priorities. Bagging them degrees ya know with 4.0s not just passes. Becoming successful is my priority. Not taking selfies and gossiping about whose nudes leaked. When I and my best friends get to the top, then we'll make noise in our Walter Steigers standing in the limelight of world stages or behind the scenes creating a movement, making a change to the world and leaving an imprint of our greatness as we impact so many lives- all that as a result of the tight circles that didn't gossip or backbite, that stood by each other through the best and worst, supported one another and respected personal space. At that point we might drop a selfie or two with the hashtag throwback and then you'll realize that true friendship isn't about the noise and meet ups. It's about everything else! To those friends that are forever true, remain unknown until the billions set in! The best and most beautiful of gems are hidden from the harsh elements of the world💎
