define friend:

I'm truly blessed to have the friends that I have. All through high school, they've been my support & truth every step of the way. Thanks to the special six, I've realized the true meaning of friendship; and they are the definition.

"Been through whatever weather"-- you don't know the true meaning of that until you understand what we as friends have been through. The fights over spending time equally with friends; the arguments about our futures; confrontations about the shit talking; the deep conversations about our secrets; discussing our negative aspects as a person. We've had just so many fights, shed so much tears, and yelled way too much. you ditched all of us to hang out with him! you guys told me to change this about me! you guys are siding with her! she was the one who started it! you're being too dramatic! your car changed everything about our friendship!-- But you see, this is what's shaped us as who we are today. I'll never feel any regret nor any bitterness over all the time we've spent mad at each other. We know that we really care about each other and that's why we've had each others' back through the THICK & THIN. no matter how many times we've fought, no matter how many months we've gone without speaking to each other... we all manage to find our ways back to each other. we've been through way too much to just throw it away.

I know that honesty has been our best policy. best friends will always tell each other the truth, tell each other straight up even if it hurts, even if it makes us sound like a bitch. it matters that we care enough to even tell each other. if we were too caught up in "keeping things to ourselves because we fear the other person will get mad" then where's the truth in that friendship? it's like living a lie. truth is what kept our friendship going for about 4 years now. it's what has pulled us together through thick in thin.

Life wouldn't be the same without you, dess, vanessa, vincent, nicky, erika, and josh. I wouldn't be the person I am today. I wouldn't have learned brutal honesty. Thank you best friends.

thank God for best friends <3
