Your My Best Friend

 Example #1: 
           My mother told me that my first friendship started when I was one years old. I do not even remember it, but she told me that we were inseparable. We played dolls together, ate snacks together, and walked together on the floors of New Horizon. Our togetherness made us have the deep connection that we still have today.

           My friend's name is Kayla McDermott and we continue to be friends to the day. The reason being our constant communication with each other. It also helped to have been at the same elementary and middle school. Although we are not in the same school today we get together and talk on the phone regularly.

             Friendship is all about making the effort on both sides. Without the mutuality, there is no friendship; it would only be an acquaintanceship. Anyone can make an acquaintance but not everyone can make a friend. Therefore, friendship is special and should be handled with care. 

Example #2: 
            Making a friend usually takes four stages. There are some scenarios were a friendship can happen instantly, but for the most part it takes time and stages to make a friendship known. First, we walk up to a person who looks inviting for our personality type. Second, we talk to that person to see if they have similar interest to ourselves. Third, we decide whether or not this person is worth the time and effort to make a friend. Finally, we accept that person and see if they accept us back. If they do then you have started the beautiful relationship of a friendship.

Example #3:
           Two buddies laughing at a movie theater, spilling popcorn all over the floor, and whispering snide comments about 'how hot that chick looks.' They converse afterward about how awesomely fantastic the movie was and decide to go to dinner to talk more about it. The friends order two different meals but share their choices between themselves, so that they can have both options. They tell jokes, talk about the movie, and converse about how their mothers are always on them to do their chores. They are happy they have a buddy to share their life with. Someone they can be comfortable with; not worrying about how to act or what to say. At the end of the blissful day they give each other a manly hug-pat, say 'night bro,' and leave each other until the next day.

Example #4:
             My grandmother would describe friendship as a good relationship that last a long time. It also includes hand-written letters and reunions. Although she is, for the most part, right in her assumptions of what friendship is, there is minor differences today. We use texting, emailing, and 'hanging out' to connect with our friends. Therefore, making a modern example of her older ideals on what friendship is.

Example #5:
              You need to have friends in your life. Why? Because you need the social interaction and connection between at least one person. Unless you desire to become a lonely, old prick living with your cats and crying every night because you has no connection with anyone, you should have a friend. Connections with friends help us become social enough to speak to other people in the future.The social interaction that we get with friends prepares us to have social interaction with potential clients in the future. Friends can push us further that we would push ourselves and will stand by you when times get tough. Therefore having a friend make going through life a little easier.

Example #6:
             Being friends and being emenies are obviously not the same thing. The two are polar opposites. Acquaintanceship, however, is similar to friendship, so it can be hard to tell the difference between the two. Friendship usually means going further than just talking in the halls at your school, or saying you'll plan an outing with that person, when you never actually do. Friendship is going the distance. Going out to event (fun or not fun, it does not matter), talking with each other through other forms of communication besides facebooking, sharing your personal life or feelings, and listening to the other person complaints usually makes a friendship.

             In an acquaintanceship you are usually slacking off in these friendship duties and you are stuck at the shallow level, never going deeper. You only talk on facebook, you haven't seen each other in any other place besides school, and staying very distant with the other person only qualifies them to be your acquaintance. The difference between acquaintanceship and friendship is somewhat subtle, but once you start look deeper into your relationship with another person, the difference becomes more pronounced. 

Example #7:
                Being friends is more than just having something in common; it is getting to know someone at a deeper level. This level usually goes even further that your actual partner. The level of friendship is mainly mental, you have a connection with a person mainly because you know about their personality. Friends also usually share stuff about their family life, school life, and religion. When you are around a friend, you should not be nervous.

               Friendship is all about being comfortable around the other person enough to have all different kinds of conversation, without worry of ridicule. You know when you are crossing the line with your friend and you know when to apologize and when you are going to far. You are hurt when your friend gets hurt, you are sad when your friend is sad, and you  ask what you can do to help out if your friend has any problems. Friends are similar to family in that they are close to you, but you usually share more with your close friend opposed to your mother. Although friendship can be very personal and vulnerable, it is the necessary connection that we need in order to not become lonely.

Example #8:
                 Friendship is comparable to a puzzle; it is complicated. You need to find the pieces that fit, the ones that do not, and you can't give up on it. There are hundreds of pieces that make up a friendship but the main ones are love, hate, passion and intelligence. You are always going find flaws in your friends because no one is perfect, but the friends benefits need to outweigh their detriments. Love and hate go together in this; you need to find friends that you hate but with some flaws so your don't feel inferior to them.

                 If you are not passionate about making a friendship work, then it will not work. Once the relationship starts to get dull, then just like having a boyfriend/girlfriend, you grow distant from each other and likely will end the relationship. The final thing that is necessary to make a lasting friendship is similar thought process. You don't want a friend that makes you sound like a incompetent fool, you most likely want a friendship that makes you feel like equals. With all these pieces you can make a friendship that you can show off to the world.

Example #9:
                   Friendship is made when you start to see a connection between you and another person. Your heart is calm and relaxed because of the freedom that you can talk about anything with that person. Your brain can think of all different kinds of conversations without any problems and your body doesn't nervously twitch if the person leans towards you. The comfortableness leads you to open up and share your deepest, darkest secrets. The easiness lets you ramble on about nothing for hours at a time. Friendship lets you be yourself with another person without worry that they will think you are weird or leave the room. Thus making a safe haven for anytime you need to share something you are not so sure about or just need to get off your chest.

Example #10: 
                  Some people might think friendship is all lollipops, laughing, and rainbows, but it is not always going to be like that. Fun times are only on the surface on what friendship appears to be. If you take shovel and dig into friendship you will find that it is more than just good times. Sometimes the bad times helps you become closer friends. A big argument, a loss of a loved one, or another damaging event can actually strengthen some friendships. Forgiveness and sympathy is essential to make the relationship become stronger in these situations. Without it, it is hard to recover from detrimental events in your or your friends life. Thus, the good and bad times reveal what friendship can withstand.
