For someone who never had a best friend in my life, I find the concept of best friend difficult to understand. No matter what people will change they will turn against you in a heartbeat. You never know when that will happen and you have to keep cards close to you. At least that’s what I believe. Instead what I have are friends. I have equally similar relationship with them all, and maintain a relatively good distance. I expect them to be loyal but at the same time I’m always ready for them to turn their back on me.

It’s hard to define what a friend is, but my definition is someone you can call for help at 3 am and they’ll take your call and help no matter what. There are only a few people in my life that fit that definition, and I consider most of the others acquaintances. But your definition means that you haven’t yet discovered what real friendship is. To make real friends you have to be a real friend (and also go through a lot of people who don’t feel that way), but it’s been one of the defining experiences of my life and well worth the effort and investment and heartache.
