YOUR SELF’S YOUR REAL BEST FRIEND
As a freshman of STI College Sta. Rosa, I myself can feel the hardship of being a student. Problems brought by my studies, by my friends and by my family are mixed. To be honest, I have my friends who help me escape those burdens of my life. We sometimes go in target mall near our school to spend our time singing, playing and sharing our emotions. Every time we are together massages my soul. Among those friends, I have someone who I call “best friend”, but he’s not always there to help and to comfort me. In fact, a best friend is a person who is willing to be with you in times of your unwanted attitudes. From those statements above, a best friend is the one who is always with you through thick and thin. Who is your real best friend? Is he someone who leaves you in darkness? Is he someone who is with you because of your wealth? Is he someone who approaches you because he needs something from you? Think of those.
Real best friend is not your shadow that leaves you when you’re in darkness. He is the moon that lights your way in the night. He is the arrow that points you to the right way. He is the hand that guides you to righteousness. He is the umbrella that shields you against rain. Do you know who is he? He is your self. Your self is your real best friend. He is always there for you. He is the one who comforts you when you have problems. He is the one who always understands you. He is the one who really knows you. He is the one who cheers you up. He is the one who makes you strong. He is the one who shows you the true meaning of life. He is the one who deserves your love, your trust and your time. Treasure your self because he is the only one who won’t turn his back for you when the whole world closes its door. To prove that your self is your real best friend sounds hard because I need to research or to put real stories of people on the

    In our modern world we categorize true friends into a group of individualistic people. They are viewed as someone who will always be there to lean on, someone who will listen to your dilemmas with a deep insight, and in return, give you a response that is free from criticism. True friends are loaners of shoulders to cry on, an answer to a bad day that needs healing, and people who carry the identity that they are willing to give up anything for their companion.…

    Best Friend vs Dog

    • 564 Words

    Who is your best friend? My opinion, the answer is: a person that reflects yourself while looking in the mirror. Having a best friend is the best feeling in the world, it's like they are a part of you in a way that's truly hard to explain until you find it. A best friend is someone you spend the majority of your time with because they have the most common with you. They will attend all the activities you both share the love for. Your dog won't be able to compete with that the majority of the time, but when you get home they will be waiting for you with the tail wagging acting like he or she hasn't seen you in years.…

    For most people, it is really hard to find someone who is completely honest, loyal, and a positive influence on your life, but there’s always a best friend for someone. Almost everyone has one and almost everyone is one. For me, I personally do not have a best friend. I stay to myself a lot and I’m not open about everything, it’s also hard to gain a new best friend if all of your old friends went off to college. A best friend is someone who is very generous, they’re there to lend you money when you run out, be your shoulder to cry on, and go out of their way if they really care about you. A best friend can be someone whom you’ve known since childhood but can also be someone that you’ve just met, and you both just click.…

    I want you to do me a favor: I want you to take a moment and think about the people in your life, whether it is a family member, a teacher, a boyfriend or girlfriend, a coworker, that fellow driver who cut you off on the freeway, or that person you said hello to in the locker room last week. But, most importantly, I want you to think about those people who you call your friends. What makes them deserve these positions in your life? How do you define the different friendships that have evolved up until this exact moment? What is friendship? Friendship is very precious. True friends are worth more than all of the gold in the world. Friends are those people who like you for who you are, and who know all of the good and not so good things about you, but still love and accept you regardless. They are the people who are always there for you; not just through the good times, but through the bad times as well. Friends try their best to help each other, even if they don't fully understand the other person. A friend is someone who can always make you laugh when you are down, and cry with you when you are hurt, because it pains them to see you weak. If you ever need a hug or a kind word, your friend is right there beside you. A friend is someone who can make you smile during the worst of times, and make you think during the hardest of times.…

    Love vs. Friendship

    • 888 Words

    My best friends are the most tremendous friends I could ever ask for. I can talk to them about anything, or not say anything at all. We support each other in what the other does. We can be apart for so long but when we see each other again, it's like they never left. I think that friendship is more essential than romantic love. You have the comforts that only a best friend can give you, the care and concern from friends, and even if you lose or grow apart from a friend, it can help you become a better friend. I found this quote about best friends, "'Best friend' isn’t just a name. A best friend is someone who’s there for you, no matter what. You can trust them, with anything and everything. Best friends share tears and laughs, almost like their emotions are intertwined. Most importantly, you can always count on a best friend." One of my best friends, Kevin, has been there for me through the depressing times as well as the joyous times in life. He's been my best friend since 4th grade, I trust him more than anyone. I can talk to him about anything. Even after he moved away, he's still there for me when I need him. He's helped me through a lot. Another one of my best friends, Ivie, has been my friend through tough times also. I've been there for her when she needs me. For a while, I felt as if she was one of my only friends and I was grateful for her friendship. We've been there for each other through the tears as well as the laughs of life. I can also talk to her about anything. Without my best friends, I don't know where I would be in life.A quote by Henri Nouwen says, "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can…

    When I think of the term best friend I think of someone that you can tell your secrets to, someone you can depend on, and someone you can always forgive no matter how mad they make you. When I think about all the definitions of a best friend the only person that comes anywhere close to mind is my mother. My life without her would not only be horrible, but would mean loosing one of the most important people in my life. As my best friend, my mother is always there for me no matter what the circumstances may be. She has a strength within her that could light up a dark room. As my best friend, my mother is someone that I can look up to. She is someone that I strive everyday to be just like. Without my mother to guide and to teach me from her own mistakes, I know that I would fall more than I have. Not only is my mother my best friend but also she is a mom at the same time. Having your mother as your best friend is not always a good thing. In my case I have the best of both worlds. I have a mom, who cares for me, and watch’s out for me, As best friend she is someone that I can have fun with, and someone that I can tell my secrets too.…
