Best friends are a very important part of most people’s lives.
Indeed, research has shown that having a close friend increases the chances of being happy with life. They can provide support when times are tough, and can celebrate special moments with you. It doesn’t matter whether you see them every day, once a year, or hardly see them at all. You can still maintain the relationship by phone or online. The most important thing about best friends is that they love you for who you are. On the other hand, having a best friend means you are responsible for being there for them when they need support.
Friendship is really a special kind of love, so when you find a true friend, hang on to them real tight. And don’t forget to tell him or her, from time to time, how much the friendship means to you.
