Q1 Q2

This blog will be about being a best friend. You may think someone is your best friend and they would do anything for you, no matter what, but when you finally realize that they really don’t care about you as much as you thought it kills you. Especially when you are always there for that person, and you are constantly making them feel better when they are in a slump, then when you need someone there for you, they are no where to be found. You may be surprised, or maybe not, but this sort of thing happens quite often. You care about someone a lot, and always put their problems in front of your own because in your mind making them happy is the best feeling you can experience. Well when you are down and in a slump and all you want is for your best friend to come over and tell you everything will be alright, and they never show up, that is probably the worst feeling. To be a true best friend you put them in front of yourself. Another thing that sucks is when you are trying to vent to your so called best friend, and they completely blow off what you are talking about and your problems, and they start talking about how perfect their life is. That is one of the lowest things you can do. Also being a best friend means all you want is to see your best friend happy, and you would do anything to make them happy. Trying to control who they talk to, and sabotaging their relationships is most likely the worst thing you can do if you are actually trying to make them happy. If you know your best friend is really into a guy, and they already have a past with them, you try to be there the best you can and give the best advice possible. If you tell your best friend that the guy they like is into you, and they shouldn’t even try, well you need to reevaluate your thinking. In this situation it doesn’t matter how you feel about this guy, if he makes your best friend happy, then you better support there every decision. And when your best friend decides to bring back an old friend from the past and you aren’t very happy about it, let them know you aren’t happy about it, but do not tell them you will hate them forever if they decide to become friends with them again. That is their decision, and if it makes them happy, then really why would you try to ruin that. Another thing is you never, ever put your friend down. Of course no one is perfect, but there is no reason you should be pointing out all the flaws of someone, especially your best friend. Yeah, of course you need to be honest with them, but you don’t put them down and make them feel even worse about themselves. Lets say your best friend is having a pretty rough day and they are feeling very self conscious, what do you do? There is one thing you should never do, and that is make them feel even worse about themselves and tell them the things they need to work on to be “perfect”. Because if you do that, you are a terrible person, and a horrible friend. The right thing to do is tell them all the good things they have going for them. Pretty much you are their best friend for a reason. They trust you and they trust your opinion. If you constantly put them down, and do horrible things to them, then you are obviously not a true best friend. To be a true best friend, you be honest, caring, and loving. You and your best friend should trust each other with everything and anything in the world. One day everyone realizes who is a real best friend, and who is not. Sometimes it takes awhile, but other times it just clicks. Lesson of the day, be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you.
