Bestfriendships

Platted bracelets, half-hearted necklaces worn around the neck with the words "bestfriends" engraved into halves, a writting or two on eachothers arms saying 'biffle'. Recognise it? Ofcourse you have- it's the cliché world of friendships but in all honesty just because you've ticked all the boxes of what I mentioned, a real bestfriendship is not determined based on threads, silver chains or even ink; it's the meaning behind it that tells a story. I'm blessed to have it all. The ink, the engraved writing but also the real meaning of whats written. Simple enough, to me the saying 'it's not quantity, it's quality' applies, I have three bestfriends whose gone through thick and thin with me. You can have a thousand facebook friends but at the end of the day do you know them them all? I know everyone on my fb and I have hundreds of friends on it but when it comes to bestfriends, I don't need a million I just need one (or in my case three) being who they are already. In all honesty it's not like the beggining of a fairytale, it was never "since the moment I saw them I knew some day down the track I'll be bestfriends with them" , I thought maybe good friends but thats possibly it? Now they're the people whose hugs in the mornings I want most, the people whose smiles brighten up my day, the people whose little quirks I can see even with my eyelids shut tightly, the people who has to listen to every one of my stories, my diary with me being the pen when it comes to boys, my 'it's going to be okay' when all the tears are gone and my cries are tearless and the people I run to when something hillarious or amazing happens. I don't have to mention names but if you know who they are, I'll let you in on a little secret: I love them. The reason why they are the most amazing ship i've been on, the ship of our bestfriendship.
