Not one of us is better than the other. Do not look down your nose at anyone, period! Just a judge of character for a personality that may or may not adhere to your own.
With all of that being said, let me explain the “Best Friend”. We have real love for our “besties”. These are friends that put you before themselves in moments of need. They will be there for you through thick, thin and indifferent and vice versa. We have each other’s backs no matter what but if we’re wrong, we tell each other, not just agree. When one is sick, the other is there. When one is celebrating, the other is there. We can actually have an argument or disagreement and in the very next breath, ask if the other is hungry? Ours is a sister type of bond and it can not be broken. However, our lives are separate, though we will always lend our unsolicited opinions about a decision one is making, we can’t live each other’s lives for them. We will, most definitely be there to help pick up the pieces if there is a lesson to be learned and one falls short. And after we get to the point where we can laugh about it, we might even say, “I told you not to do that….”, lol, but we will laugh that off too. Like Celie and Nettie, “Nothin’ but death can keep me from it!” For those that don’t know, that was a reference from the movie The Color Purple. But I digress, please know that if you don’t have someone in your life that you trust with your life and your heart, do not give them the title of “best friend, bff, bestie….” Or however you want to put it. I promise you, this is for your own protection. People get really hurt when they lose people that are only meant to be in their lives for a certain period of time anyway. Or as Madea put it, “Stop putting lifetime expectations on seasonal people!”
