True Friends

 　　People today, in all this new world technology and thinking, have lost sight of what a true friendship is. So, in sprit of my best friend Tellie, I thought I would help the world out a little and explain what real, true friends are.

　　1. Friends don't have to be exactly the same. Friends have similarities¹ but they also have their differences. They key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other's faults. Because you can't ever judge your friend.

　　2. Friends have to argue! No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Cause if you agree on everything, either the government has expanded cloning² subjects or someone isn't being true and is trying a little too hard.

　　3. You have to be comfortable together or else you just aren't going to click³. If you feel edgy⁴ around the person then something isn't quite right.

　　4. Friends love unconditionally⁵. They have there little angry moments but what's done is done and all is forgive and forget. Why let something that happened in the past ruin what happiness you could have in the future?

　　5. Believe in love at first sight because there is the equivalent⁶ in friendship. Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, it's not true. If the first time you really spend time together you talk for 25 hours straight until 4:30 in the morning about some topic you thought no one else in the world understood, hun, that's real love at first sight.

　　These are only a few of the basics. Just remember, friends are forever. But only if you keep it that way. Don't diss your buds⁷, love them instead. And when they drive you nuts, love them that much more for being just a little bit different and maybe just a little bit quirky!
