Thread: I have a question on friendships

My best friend is in Florida.
I was willing to leave all my good friends here and move to Florida with my best friend.
There is a huge difference... only if you have a best friend.
Best friends are hard to come by, and I havent met another one in 5 years.

There is a big difference between a good friend and a best friend. I have tons of good friends, I know they will be there for me, and I will be there for them. But with my best friend, we tell each other everything, and if one of us needs anything, we will drop everything. I don't talk to my good friends every day, I talk to my best friend every day.

I've been friends with my best friend since I was two. She's my best friend because we ran in different circles, kinda lost any common ground. I moved away. I came back. Moved away again. Came back again. And she and I have kept in contact the whole time. 20 years. We don't see eachother near as often as I see my other friends. Maybe once every couple of weeks, sometimes once a week. But we talk fairly often. And she's the one friend I'd turn to if I ever needed something, and she could do the same. She was there for my moms funeral. She was sitting with me when I was freaking out that something was wrong with my dad, and sat there after the cops showed up to tell me he was dead. She came to his funeral too.

I have a few good friends. But Im not near as open with them, or honest with them. And they aren't with me either. We hang out like 4 times a week. We do tons of stuff together, but the bond just isn't the same with them as it is with my best friend. I can't tell them everything, and the conversation just isn't the same with them.
