Abby is the real friend

Abby is my long time buddy. She has been my friend for 13 years, and she has never betrayed me, given bad advice, or taken me for granted. She has always been a perfect friend. I did not realize this, until this weekend, because I never really took notice of her loyalty. Every single friend I've had over the years has either stabbed me in the back, lied to me,or used me. This weekend she called me and asked me if I had taken my placement test, or applied to college, decided to move and if I wanted to go to the gym with her. In my mind I said to myself , "why does she care so much?" I came to the conclusion that this long time pal has been more of a friend then any other person over my experience with my so called friends. Abby is successful, caring, and trustworthy. "How come I never took her for consideration? " I believe maybe it was because when it came to who real friends were, I could only come up with how many people actually were not true friends.

I acknowledged over the past years that Abby and Sindy( another one of my best friends) have been my only friends who actually talk to me about things that make sense. Other past friends have only talked to me about boys, dumb drama, stupid ideas that should not even be asked if they should be done. I learned that Abby has always been more than any other friend and should be more appreciated. She cares about me and has never let me down before. I admire her for her success, her kindness, and her beautiful way of looking at life. She motivated me positively and made me realize that sometimes people get caught up in the bad things about people or life and forget about the good things. Therefore, I should take more appreciation of the wonderful things rather neglect them.

  1. You are so lucky to have someone in your life like Abby. I've been thinking about friendship a lot lately because one of my very good friends has suddenly become gravely ill. He has made me a better, smarter person, and I'm praying for him.

    What a change for the better with your writing!
