Five Hundred & Sixteen. --A best friend;

I just had a random, casual chat with my bestie.

This time (one of the few times), it was me decoding her. 

I was typing in bits & pieces, I just typed whatever that came to my mind.

It's amazing how she can get what I'm trying to put across to her. 

Well, I guess, it's just like how I always get her 

when she tries to put across some thoughts to me. :) 

& while I was "advising" her, I learnt things about myself too. 

Like a self-discovery kinda thing. 

This bestie of mine, we dont chat every day. 

Sometimes, we dont even contact each other for several weeks.

But once we do, there was never a distance apart.

Besides J, she is the only person who reads me 

and knows me better than I know myself sometimes.

I used to think that the term "Best Friend" is cliche and overused 

(especially 'BFF' aka Best Friend Forever.

omg so.... it's-a-girl-thing kinda, which I didnt really like) 

& so, we addressed each other as Best Fat Friends.

But now, I still like calling her my Bestie,
because she IS.

Each of us has our own definitions of "Best Friend".

Actually, how do you describe a "best friend"?

I thought of it for very long..

To me, 

A best friend is the first person that you will think about whenever you have plans in mind.

He/she is the first person you go to when you are looking for someone to talk to,
especially when it comes to the important matters in your life.

A best friend gives you opinions, which you care & want to hear about,

amongst the many other voices/opinions that you may receive.

A best friend tells you things that you need to hear,

regardless they are pleasant or not.

A best friend is one who is always there to share emotions: 

your joy, tears or frustrations.

You share your most amazing moments and also your most horrible incidents with him/her.

A best friend never fails to tease you 

whenever you share your embarrassing or silly moments with them,

& when he/she does, instead of being angry, you laugh together with him/her

(& wait for your chance to tease him/her back again)
A best friend is one whom you can always show your true side to,

& never afraid of being judged.

A best friend is one who will encourage & push you to be the best that you can be;

& at the same time, scold or nag at you when needed to.

A best friend is someone you will never envy, & will be grateful to have.

A best friend is the one who you've confided the most in,

& he/she knows you best, even as both of you grow up & change.

A best friend understands you best & always gets you;

he/she reads your mind before you even finish your words.

.

..

...

This can go on & on.
Well basically,

The best friend in YOUR life, 

is the one who you are thinking of as you read this. :)
