Being a Friend

I have made a discovery that was discovered possibly millions to billions of times before me. Friends are amazing. Whether you fight with them on a regular basis or happen to just be besties, you have a brilliant relationship with a person you found during class, off the street, at the store, or even detention. That's incredible to be able to have this family that not your family. The person you don't have to love unconditionally but you just can't help thinking you two are siblings for real.

I also made another discovery. Friendship has no real benefits. I mean, you get stuff, and you may give stuff, but its about having someone close by to tell all your secrets to or cry on their shoulder or laugh in the middle of class. There are no benefits. Just this strong bond you share with someone.

Its actually weird, you know. How did this whole friendship thing get started? Well, there must have been a cavemen who was eating a mammoth by a warm fire in a cave when some other guy comes along cold and hungry. So, the caveman feels bad for him and gives him a home in his cave and a dinosaur to chop on. From there, they were best friends for life. (Until it was the ice age and one of them became a
cannibal- cannibalism started here too!) Cavemen created friendship. That's breath-taking.

Anyway, tell your friends just how much you care for them. Make them a card or give them a lollipop. Just remember, friendship has no real benefits so this friendship you have has no real limits. So, be the best friend you can possibly be. And don't do it because I told you to! Do it because that's your friend you should care for. That;s why you became friends, right?
