There are people in your life that have a special place like a mother, father, brother or sister but there is nothing like a best friend. Friends come and go and its almost like a heartbreak but you will always have the memories of the great times you have had with them. When I left my middle school to start a new high school that I knew nobody going to I knew I had a fresh start but I was leaving my best friend Molly. We had been best friends for 5 years and we just drifted apart because of the change of schools and I still miss her to this day but like I said, people come and go.

The first day of freshmen year I was so nervous because I was literally going to school knowing nobody and I had to make my own friends all by myself and that was very scary to me. I always had a great friendship with Brianna since day one. I remember we were at a roller skating rink and we both didn’t want to skate and we looked at each other when they told us we were going to and we both knew we weren’t doing that. To this day we look back at that and know that the moment we had that agreement we were going to be best friends.

Freshmen year she really became my good friend. I was always very awkward and shy but I truly believe she has broken my shell. She has always been by my side and understood my problems with anxiety. I have never had a friend that was so dedicated on always being there for someone. Brianna is always there for me wether its four in the morning or four in the afternoon she will always go out of her way to help me. In the past I’ve had people that have shown no effort in our friendships and have left me for other people but there is something about Brianna she just won’t ever do that to someone. The thing about her is she cares a lot for people; her mother is like that too. Whenever I’m at her house it’s so welcome and everyone is so nice.

We have many things and common and we understand each other so well. Its like this friendship was meant to happen. Corny, yes I know but there is something about her that is just like no other friend I have had. I have this crazy trust for her and I feel like I can tell her anything and she would never judge me for anything. She has helped me through so much on helping me come over many leaps of anxiety and she has mentally and socially helped me more than anyone has. If there was one person I know I would do anything for I know it would be her because how much she has done for me is just amazing. I don’t think she understands how much I thank her for everything she has helped me with.

I look back at freshmen year and look at how shy I was and how I would always stand off to the side and never be the one to start a conversation and she has got me to never stop talking. Out of all the people I know she cares for everyone. She is always helping someone in some way but I know she gets that from her mom. She has a very close-knit relationship with her mom just like I do and that’s something we both cherish. We have both been through alot in our lives and that’s what makes us so alike. Throughout all the negative and hard things that we have gone through we have always been able to find the positive and get through everything.

Brianna has gone through a lot and she is always there to listen to me when I’m upset or stay on facetime with me for hours just to cheer me up.  The last thing and the best thing we have is our humor. In the beginning she did not understand my humor at all and I mean I have a very different humor that a lot of people do not find funny but we have both over time learned each others humors and we laugh at everything together. I’m never in a dull moment with her ever. We could be in a quiet room across the room from each other and find a way to laugh at something. That is my favorite thing about our friendship. I am always laughing until I cry when I’m with her.

She keeps me so happy all the time and it’s the best thing someone can give you. Yes, this may sound like such a sappy thing about someone but I’m truly so thankful to have her in my life. I mean I would do anything for her and our friendship means the world to me. This may of just sounded like I wrote something about someone I’ve been in love with for many years but that’s how strong our friendship is. If there were one person I would call a blessing to my life it would be Brianna.
