Throughout our life, people are temporary. From Kindergarten to your last year in college, people come and go. Sometimes, people cross paths with you and leave soon thereafter. Other times, they feel an instant connection and become a permanent part of your life.

This is a best friend.

Someone who knows you like a book can help you through tough times because they have been around you for so long. Bonding over shared experiences and having someone be by your side when you need them is wonderful.

They give you direct "real" advice when you ask for it. Anywhere you go with them, you know you it will be a fun adventure.

Longterm friendships can bring so much happiness to your world. You know they will be around for a very long time, through the good and the bad.

Having someone to vent too without any judgment is what they are here for. They understand you in a variety of different ways. They know who you were, and who you are now. Having a friend you haven't seen in weeks, and months without speaking but when you see them again nothing has changed is refreshing.

Temporary friendships start to fade, but longterm friendships last a lifetime.
