The cliche quotes always stated them us someone who will be with us in anything, sharing same likes and dislikes, who understand us like no one. So the actual problem is that we believed this is what a best friend should be or else they are not the one.
     But honestly is that the correct way to define a best friend. NO. I don’t know about anyone but for me, I’ve a best friend who’s with me since my elementary school. You’ll think oh my god, you guys been best friends for like 18 years now. No, absolutely no. But we know each other for 18 years now, we saw each other grow, we know each other’s character very well, we know how each other going to react in a particular situation, the way they think, speak. As time passed by, we became more close and started to be friends rather than just classmates. And to best friends who gets along very well.
         We were never same, to be exact we are the polar opposite of each other, where she was extrovert while I’m an introvert. She likes colours and I’m a monochrome enthusiast. She’s brave and me a scaredy cat. That’s where those google things gone wrong for us. We find our balance in those difference by understanding and accepting it. That’s how she became my first place to go whenever I had problems even though we’re not meeting each other for months than the ones I meet everyday.
     She’s my comfort place, not that when I cry and she comfort me or something. Instead she first scold me and then explain me where I went wrong. She gives me the space without any question, she’s the one who scold me more than my amma, she knows everything so that I can lean upon her anytime. Cringy, soft talks are always a 2ft away from our conversations. Still we are comfortable with each other.
