Lately, well not exactly lately, but more like the past two days, I've been hearing a bunch of friend talk, and it has gotten me thinking. Everybody seems to have an idea of what they want from their friends and/or bestfriends. Some expect, in my opinion, too much of their friends. Since this is going to be specifically about bestfriends, then I'll be addressing how I view a bestfriend. As the years go by, I technically only have one true bestfriend. I mean, when you think about it, how can you have multiple bests in one category? of course, that's taking it too literally. Anyway, I seem to have gotten my idea of how I think a best friend [why the hell do I keep spacing that lol] should be determined. Obviously, this person is Justin. Now, I don't really talk much to justin. I rarely see him school, and when I do see him, it's for a very brief period, usually being around 5-10 minutes. I talk to him outside of school though. This is where a key difference lies in what I see as a best friend, and what some others see. Appararently, In order for someone to be a person's best friend, he has to know everything about you, and help with all your problems, and basically be a second you. Now, I wholeheartedly disagree with that. Back to my previous example, Justin. Now, As I said, we talk out of school. Oddly enough, he knows almost NOTHING of my personal life. He knows that I play games and stuff, and that I have/had a GF, but that's pretty much it. To be honest, he probably knows the least about me, of all my best friends, but he's still my best, best friend lol. Note, We rarely talk, and we know almost nothing about each other, but we're still the coolesttt. =D
So, I seem to have this idea that I don't need to become some person that basically is a clone of another person. Like, that's wack. Let's go to two more examples, Sua and EJ. Now, you may say, Ej and I "fell off", but does that mean we're magically not besfriends? The reason I don't know anything about him is because I don't ask. I will always help him if he needs help or anything. I'll pretty much always be there for him. Just because I talk to him like once a year lol, doesn't mean I'm just going to "demote" him to a regular friend. If we don't talk much, so the **** what? He still acts the same towards me, and I the same for him, so why the **** does it matter? Sua is also in the same boat. Though I talk to her more than Ej, it's still not as much as Yvette, who seems to be my only constant source of communication. Sua and I are mad cool. Like that's basically it. The level of cool is mad high, so I think of her as my bestfriend. Not, because we always talk [pfffttt not at all], but because we can not talk for like a week, and just hop into a conversation without saying, we never talk, or some type of introduction that isn't necessary. We KNOW we don't talk often, and it's obviously not that big of a deal. Though I knowm more personal things about her than other people, and maybe her the same for me? idk lol. but ya though I know more, it's not like the only reason we talk. Where as Miles, seem to have this idea that we also "fell off". I'm used to it, because he always does it. He pushed me to the side for andrew before, and he's "pushing me to the side again". The reason this is in quotes is thathe didn't really push me to the side. It's more like I didn't really care about all his Girl problems and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, it's fun helping, but when EVERY ENCOUNTER HAS THE SAME RESULT it seems kinda pointless. Now, I'm nowhere close to saying that he isn't my best friends, though he may say it. Idc though. I'll think of him as my bestfriend. If he has a problem, then he can come to me, though He'd rather go to yvette. We don't talk AT ALL lol. I think we talk even less than Ej and I talk, and that's terrible lol, BUT! He's still mad cool, sometimes, and I'm not just going to be like okkkk, **** you, because he's had MINOR changes in his demeanor. Edem calls me lmfao. He's one of only THREE people that call me, and that's surprising lol. maybe, it's because he doens't have texting, and I'm never on facebook lol. Hmm that must be it. He's funny though, and we talk about real **** sometimes. Most of the time. It's just dumb stuff that doesn't matter like Mike tyson lolololol. That's pretty much our best friend thing. Laughs and real talk. Did I do yvette? lmfaaooo technically I have ahahaha lololol. Ok ok ok. but ya. I mean we were hitting best friend status before we went out, soooo it wasn't magically just going to change. Though ALOT of crap has happened between us, and that's something I like. When we can still be the almost bestest of friends [get raped by justin lol] evn thogh crap went down. like just get over ittt. That's the way to go. T\I know more abot her, and talk to her more than ANY OTHER FRIEND, [anyone noticing a trend?] anddd I get mad at her the most lol. stil ther for each other, even if "I don't make her happy anymore" lol. Man that cut me deep ahah. I'm missing someone. DAAAVVV. Now, I thought once he graduated then we would stop talking, but I talk to him so much. Though it's usually just dumb stuff like games. We're also doing the 99 bottles of beer on the wall through texts lol. It's mad cool that someone would go through that with me. We were always cool, but I expected something different than what I got. Vernonnn. We're cool. Always. Nothing more needs to be said. Same for Wendy. Like OH SNAP THAT MAKES FOUR PEOPLE THAT CALL lol. Just remembered.
Basically, I don't give a **** how much we talk. I don't care how much you know about me, or how much I know about you. As long as we're static, and We can go to each other at any time for practically anything, then You're my bestfriend.
Also, Smash tournaments are so fun =D
Traveling + meeting new people are great.
P.S: Ignore the errors -_-
