What do you think of the phrase 'best friend'?
I have many friends. Some of which out of obligation and others through no choice at all. I'm drawn to them and their personalities which make me strive to be a better person at being myself. I have two main so called best friends. One is a girl, a few months older than me who I wholly depend on. We are rather different and the same at one time.
She has a fascination with blue, and I with every other colour. I feel that describes us perfectly. From the age of 8 she has longed to be a doctor, she is incredibly intelligent and has one of the most pure and honest minds that I have ever come across. On paper she is perfect: Head girl of my school, prefect, straight A's and many friends. However I know that she isn't.
As much as I love my dear friend I know that she is utterly useless when it comes to boys. I both despair and thrive with this fact. She has had many possibilities for a relationship, as I said she is rather perfect, but somehow she always manages to ruin it with her own self doubt.
"I'm not going to marry him so what's the point?"
It seems that with all the hard work my friend has put into her professional life, she has neglected her personal life for all of its worth.
Does it make me a bad friend if I love that?
I love the fact that she isn't entirely perfect and I cherish the fact that I can have a friendly relationship with a man (or boy, whatever), without ruining it within a month of the obsession.
Obsession.
This is another flaw of my best friend.
She becomes completely absorbed in her blossoming relationship; I'm ignored in favour of this new young suitor, but as soon as he hints that he wants more than a friendship, he is out.
I love her and thought we would be friends forever.
If only I knew she was going to betray me so badly.
