Friendship. A word that I feel is thrown around way to often these days. To me a friend is someone that will drop everything for you when you are in need. A person that can comfort you in times of distress and be your partner in crime in times of hilarity. But most of all, a friend is someone that you feel so incredibly comfortable with, you can divulge every single action, thought and secret known to man kind.

Most people are lucky in the sense that their best friend lives about five minutes away. Some people are even lucky enough to have their BFF live just down the road from them, but unfortunately I am not so fortunate.


Like many people, I met my best friend later in life, at University to be exact. Both young girls fresh out of High School who just happened to be studying the same course. Next thing you know, we're hanging out, going to lunch and travelling to see each other outside of uni. That travelling though! One hours worth of separation. And no, it's not so bad. An hours worth of travelling isn't that bad; but it is something that we have to factor in that other friendships don't. It does become difficult, especially when you've had a disagreement with your family, or you've just been having a difficult day and you can't immediately run to your BFF.


While the distance has it's difficulties we seem to manage. Sometime's it can take weeks before we get to see each other but the lines of communication including texting, calling and tagging her in hilarious memes that pop up into my newsfeed; I think we've been doing pretty well!

Words cannot describe how fortunate I am to have this gem of a person in my life! She literally knows everything about me, my life, my feelings and everything that I've been through. She keeps me sane, level headed and keeps me calm. But most of all, she makes me happy and I am the happiest version of myself when I am around her.
