A person who has a best friend to rely on is one of the most blessed people in this world. The emotional support anyone can have from their best friends is incredible as it can help make the lives a little easier and smoother. The bond we share with our best friends is quite similar to what we have with our families, siblings, or parents but sometimes it is even deeper.
My best friend, Alex, is a person who has caused the most positive impact on my life so far. Our friendship is 5 years longer but it already feels like we have been together for ages. I feel so lucky to have a friend like him in my life whom I can count on in every kind of situation. We met for the first time at our university. Initially, we both were equally hesitant to talk to each other. So, it took a while to share a few words. When we finally had our first conversation, we realized that it was worth it. We got to know a lot of things about each other like our hobbies, traits, families, and perceptions about different things.
Moreover, we were amazed at how many similar likes and dislikes we have. For instance, we both have the same taste in music and arts. So, the friendship grew when we started meeting every day. It was right after the summer break when we made the most beautiful memories of our lives. That is when I learned that a best friend can be even more than a family. We celebrated birthdays and different events together. I still cherish those memories after so many years of our friendship. He was also with me whenever I had to go through the darkest phases of my life. I knew he was the only one who would understand my pain and become a source of relief for me.
Most importantly, the qualities he possesses are also another major reason that I got attracted to him and wanted him to become my best friend. For instance, I learned from him to stay positive and strong no matter what life throws at us. Also, his courageous attitude inspired me in so many ways and I learned to say no to people to stop being manipulated by them. He has a different approach to life. He treats everyone with honesty, love, affection, and compassion. He also serves humanity by helping poor and oppressed people. Even if he had a few dollars in his pocket to spend his day, he would never mind giving it to someone else who needs it more than him.
In a nutshell, my best friend is the asset that I don’t want to lose. Since he has inspired me in so many ways, I want to stay stick to him forever to be able to learn a lot more good things. I also believe that I am not going to fail in my life while facing any critical situation or hardship as long as I have him by my side.
