As I grow older I realize that many friends will come
and go. My mother always told me “That people are purposely in your life for a
certain season.”
Well, I have been
through so many friends that I never understood the purpose of considering
someone a “best- friend.” The term “best” defines the most excellent,
effective, and desirable. I frequently questioned what makes that one specific
person out of all my friends the “best.” Each of my close friends has a different characteristic that makes them
individually unique. At times, I may tend to give one of them more attention than
others, but that does not determine their level of importance.
As an only child
for 13 years, I never understood how it felt to have a sibling relationship, so
I truly valued my friendships with many people. Also, I was always an independent person, which prevented me
from having codependency issues. I avoided getting too attached to people by labeling
them “best friends” because at some point friends will come and go, people will
change, so that you can learn to let go.
I’m beyond
blessed for the people who are in my life today and I’m thankful to experience
an awesome internship with some of them.
