Friends

Well this image doesn't really have much to do with the topic 'Friends' and I said I would put my favourite postcard of the week, and I have obviously already done this. But I realised if I don't put more secrets up I will never get all the ones I really like posted. So I may just add them whenever I feel it necessary. This is one of my all time favourite secrets. I have it stuck to my modern history writing book at school, which happens to be one of my favourite subjects. So even though it doesn't have anything to do with friendship, I agree with what it says and I think maybe your friends can help you become a part of something 'Big, Important and Magical'.

I don't know if anyone else has ever done this or felt this way, but I sometimes take my friends for granted. I am not talking about friend's who if you are honest-to-god about it, your friends out of convenience. I am talking about the friends that happen to be there when you need them, even if they are the last people you want to see. Your Best Friends. It was hard for me a while ago to tell me who my best friends were, I think I liked all my friends equally. For some reason though, the two people I class as my best friends, are the two I have been friends with the longest. I wonder if it is because I feel more comfortable around them, than I do my others. I don't feel as if I need to watch what I say when I am with them like I do when I am with my Christian friends, I can tell them if I think what they are wearing looks terrible, or looks awesome and they do the same for me. When I am frustrated with other people I can go to them and know that they will be on my side and dislike that person with me. They stand up for me if I need them to ( this rarely happens) and I can trust them with most of my secrets ( I say most because some secrets I have to keep to myself). The three of us trust each other, and even though we bicker, like most teenage girls, we get over it pretty quickly and are best friends again. I don't feel as if I need to watch myself when I am around them. I feel comfortable with their families.

I have taken them for granted many times though. I asked one of my friends to do something with me and I was really looking forward to it, she pulled out at the last minute though for no good reason. I acted like it didn't bother me, when really it did. I was talking to my best friend Serena and told her that I really didn't want to go to this thing alone. She was busy though, but she said she would ask her dad (more like talk him into) if she could come with me. I found out the next day that she was aloud to come, so she dropped her plans. Them my other best friend Penny heard what we had planned and decided to come along with us. I think that is true loyalty. My friend lets me down and Penny and Serena come to my rescue.

I think that is what true best friends do, when you are upset they drop everything that they are doing and try to make you feel better. Forgetting all their problems along the way. I guess until they did that for me I wasn't sure how close we were, and now I know that they are truly my closest friends. I really should have known though, being friends for five years and still seeming as strong as ever has to mean something, right?

It is funny though, not Hahaha funny just odd, that people say odd number groups don't usually work because people get jealous easily. In this case 3 is the magic number (yes like the song). Because Serena is always the deciding vote in Penny and my friends, we fight quite a bit (not really fight we both just disagree) and we usually make Serena choose sides. We don't take it personally though, in-fact we like to make Serena choose, because whoever she choices to side with is the winner of the disagreement. I love arguing though, I argue to win and most of the time my argument is so convincing that Serena chooses my side. I love being so persuasive.

Here is to true friends, who keep you happy and who are there for you. If you don't feel that your friends are there for you, I suggest you throw them and get some new ones who you can be yourself around. Even if that stops you from being the most popular girl in school. I know that half the 'popular' kids at my school, when the leave they are not going to stay in contact with any of their school friends. I also know that I am going to stay really close with Serena and Penny until I am old. I think you sometimes just know these things and until your friendship has been tested you will not know for sure.
