I want a Friend

I find it an honor to be included in the classification of “best friend.” I have been one since I was young and continue to participate and become one to many more people every day.

Every time you meet a new individual you make it your personal responsibility to evaluate them based upon the standards of a friend, if the individuals have similar interests and goals in life as yourself. The world would be a terrible place to be if a person did not have a single best friend. I personally want a best friend. What is the reasoning of wanting a best friend you ask?

I want a friend to call me just to say hello. I want a friend to call every day and discuss the daily activities with. I want a friend to call me on their lunch hour so I do not have to eat alone. I want a friend to call me on my birthday at midnight to be the first to tell me happy birthday. I want a friend who plans a surprise party for my birthday and invites all of the guests without my help. I want a friend who will bring me a can of gasoline when I let my car run out while driving down the highway. I want a friend who will not judge me based upon the decisions I make.

I want a friend to plan a “day of fun” for us that they pay for. I want a friend that will pay for my manicure and pedicure when I do not have the extra cash before a big date. I want a friend to take me out to eat and pay for my food when I am hungry but cannot afford to pay for it myself. I want a friend to lend me money when my electric bill is due but I spent the money on a new Coach purse. I want a friend who will come and pick me up from a bar when I am unable to drive home. I want a friend that no matter how many times we fight we will still be there for each other.

I want a friend who will call me in the hospital while I am sick. I want that friend to visit me while I am hospitalized, and sneak me in food so I do not have to eat the hospital food. I want a friend who will call my relatives while I am in the hospital and give them a daily update of my illness when I do not want to talk on the phone. I want a friend who will tolerate my family and respect them.

 I want a friend that no matter how bad their day is will do anything to make mine better. If I happen to end my relationship with my significant other I want a friend who will drive for miles to bring me a carton of ice cream and movies to sit on the couch so I will not have to be alone. I want a friend who will plan an abduction of me while I am recovering from a break up. I want a friend who will call other friends to have an emergency night out on the town to forget about that “loser.” I want a friend to hold my hair while I am lying over the toilet from too many margaritas. I want a friend who will walk up to my ex and inform them of the bad decision they made by “letting me get away.”

I want a friend who will help me find a potential significant other by being my “wingman.” I want a friend who will put up a cute suitors annoying friend so that I can familiarize myself with the suitor. I want a friend who will not critique my significant other. I want a friend who will endure my endless wave of suitors until I find “the one.” I want a friend who will be happy for me when I do find my significant other.

I want a friend who will plan my bachelorette party. I want a friend who will help to plan my wedding. I want a friend who will go on endless shopping sprees to look for my wedding dress. I want a friend who will do anything for me on my wedding day. I want a friend who will write a speech about our lives together that the friend will read at the reception that moves me to tears.

I want a friend that will be like another mother to my children. I want a friend who will help me raise my children the way I wish. I want a friend who will remain by my side during fights with my significant other and children. I want a friend that will remain with me until the day I pass away.

Who would not want a friend with all of these positives that they bring into your life?
