What is a Friend?

My best friend inspired me to write about friendships.

A friend is someone who you can confide in. Someone you can talk to and get advice from. A friend is a true companion, someone who helps you along the way. A friend is someone who you can rely on, in even the worst of situations. Someone who puts your happiness before theirs, and hopes for the best for you at all times, no matter what. A friend is a soul mate, without them we would be lost.
Friendship stands for companionship, and companionship is all that anyone really wants. We want to be someone that others care for, and we want to care for others just the same. We are human, and we all feel the same. We all know what love and hurt feels like, and we know what comfort and respect feels like. It feels good, and it feels bad, and our friends can always relate. They are there to help, and we are there to help them in return.
