Mystery #8

Most people believe that friends are the people who you talk to in life. The people who sit by your side. But, that’s wrong. Those people are acquaintances. Not real friends. Not somebody who you should be terrified of losing, because acquaintances come and go depending on the season of your life, what phase you’re going through.

Real friends are events. They are steady. They try to fight through with you no matter what. The people that aren’t afraid to tell you that you’re wrong, what you need to fix. They don’t tolerate you like normal people would, they come straight out and say what you need to fix. Friends are the people that we would call without thinking, who know exactly what to say- either to tell us we need to clean up our act or that today was just a bad day and we’ll be okay- no matter what situation we’re thrown in.

But, how do we come across these strangers that mean so much? How do they stumble into our life as nobody and come out as somebody we will never forget? How even do you stumble into somebody’s life just like that and become something more than ever thought possible? If we added an eighth mystery to unsolvable mysteries in the world, it would be this. How did we meet our best friends?
