Do you have a friend who you consider a bestfriend. And by definition of a bestfriend, would he/she be there for you when you need them. Even At the littlest things like, "oh can you lend me 20 bucks, Can you give me a ride, Can i crash at your place". See its those little things that you base your friendship around. Sure a friend lends you 20 bucks and all of a sudden, your walking around with this big grin on your face, people are looking at you and your just all shits and giggles to tell them that you now have a best friend.

So, honestly if you stopped and thought about it. would that so called, "Best friend" be there for you in bigger times of need, such as the loss of a loved one, Or time of fatal injury? As you sit there in that hospital bed, hoping and praying that your bestfriend will come by and comfort you (needless to say the accident was irrelevent), or would you get a call from him/her 3 days later saying sorry that he/she couldn't come see you because they had a party to go to, or they didn't want to miss their favorite TV show, knowing DAMN well that you were in the hospital.

Is this the type of friend that you will just brush that off and say, " oh no big deal, I'm ok now". When really your sitting there thinking to yourself, wow he/she didn't even care that i was seriously injured.

See friends are more valuable than diamonds, gold, luxury cars, fantasy homes, girlfriends/boyfriends, or even your biggest, most deepest crush.

See, why I can fully state that friends are more important, is because these are the people that you will most definitly need when: your expensive diamond ring breaks, or that gold necklace gets stolen, or that luxury car breaks down, that fantasy home burns down, or your girlfriend/boyfriend breaks up with you, or that big deep crush you had moves away. This is the time when you need that bestfriend the most, he/she (If they REALLY a bestfriend) will listen to your sorrows and problems. They will give you guidance and help you recover from any problems you were having, whether it be really small, or really big. They will be there for you.

See, in ones life time people will come and go. There will be people that leave dents in your life and others you will have totally forgotten about. But friends, close friends and Bestfriends NEVER leave. No matter what the circumstances they will always find a way to let you know that they will be there. Whether they live on the other side of the world, or on the other side of the street. These are the people that you do not want to lose.

See when people think, "oh he/she is my bestfriend" in this tone of voice where you can tell that they really don't care whether they are or are not, what they are really doing is giving them this title. this fake sort of recognition that you mean something in their life.

Well sorry but 99.9% of the time, they will guaranteed do one of a couple of things. They will let you down numerous times. they will hurt you, they will even make you cry at times. You may feel like they have just betrayed you for the last time. But the truth is, they will continue doing that until you finally let them go, realizing afterwards that they were NEVER even close to being your bestfriend. They were just people there to lend you that 20 bucks.

A bestfriend on the other hand, may occasionally let you down, due to either a misunderstanding or just something got the better of them. But if they are truly bestfriend material they will almost ALWAYS find the courage to step up and be like, yes sorry I did hurt you but I am truly sorry and thats more than enough said compared to the friend you had that let you down 24/7. here is the chance for you to stop and think to yourself. Should i forgive him/her or should I let him/her go like the others. I can probably guarantee you that you will forgive them, taking into consideration that they just came on their own to ask for forgiveness, And honestly if you feel they meant it, do forgive them, because chances are that you will do something along the line that you will have to ask for forgiveness from them and they will openly accept it, knowing you did the same for them before.

All that I really have to say is that friends, you choose like flowers. You don't want something that you know will die in a couple of days. You want ones that are strong, and have the certain qualities to stand out from that garden of life. The ones that will stand their ground, even through the windiest days, or the wettest days. These are the qualities you should be looking for in a bestfriend.

Now that you have read this, stop and think of all the times that you and your "bestfriend" have been through. The good the bad, the best and the worst.

Now stop and think, is he/she really worth forgiving all these times. Is he/she always there for me when I need them? Is he/she willing to tell me how much I mean to them? If your bestfriend has passed these simple questions then you know for sure that you have a real friend. That one bright, strong and most colorful flower in the patch.

On the other hand, think of what you have put your friends through. Your not perfect either. Think to yourself, " have they always forgiven me when I make stupid mistakes? Do they know that I try my best to be there for them all the time? Do they know how much I care for them?" As long as you take the time to tell them that they do mean a whole lot to you and that you can honestly say that with your whole heart, Then chances are you are a bestfriend too.
