“Whatever you do in this life, it's not legendary,
unless your friends are there to see it.”
I haven’t looked for a quote on Google or Tumblr, not even in Pinterest.
Once you said we needed a title (which had to be a quote) for our wonderful
composition about friendship, this sentence came to my mind. I know I could
have looked for one that probably would be more common or more likely to an “Instagram
quote”, the typical sentence you read above a photo of two friends, but I had
to find one with a special meaning. That’s it. Without your friends, there’s no
way something becomes legendary! When you share these moments with them, the
things are legendary.
My quote is from the TV series “How I met your mother”. I think you know what this series is about,
but in case you don’t, it’s about Ted explaining all the story of how did he meet
the mother of his children. The point is that he is really explaining that
special relation he had with his friends, which I give you my word, is a true
friendship. The quote I have chosen is said by Barney on the 9th
season, in an episode called “Sunrise”.
Now let’s talk about the friendship. I don’t feel like there’s a “friends-code”.
I mean, there are no “written” rules for choosing friends, or at least that is
not my case. I don’t feel the need of accomplish some requirements to be the
friend of someone. I find it so unpleasant! You have to be yourself, and to
live friendships as you really feel. In my opinion, every friendship is
different and people have their own way to make it special.
In addition, that’s probably the reason why I don’t like the term “best”
friends. What does to have a bestie means? Are you supposed to privilege them
on your other friends? Do they mean more than the others do? Every one of my
friends is important, they mean a lot to me. If they are truly friends, I can
count on them. I don’t like to feel “attached” to a particular person… There
are times when you understand yourself better with some people, and there are
times that it happens with other. So you are constantly changing and growing,
and sometimes you feel better with some particular friends, just because you
find yourself there. All my friends are my “besties” for me.
Moreover, some people are special to me. And I’ll explain it: we all
have some special people in our lives. They won’t necessary be your age. In
fact, they can be many years older than you. I’m referring to those people you
can’t know exactly why but you could spend hours and hours talking, that people
that you understand so perfectly. Even if you try to deny it, there’s at least
one person in your life that feels like this to you. I don’t know why, they just
feel special to me.
Therefore, I can say that for me friendship is unique in each case, and
it lets you share amazing emotions with people, and to have many good memories
you’ll never forget. Life brings you amazing people who are worth meeting, who
help you so much and show many important lessons. So please, don’t give up on
people so quickly, because you can miss out on something great.
This is the way I see friendship. It is an
emotion, so everyone feels it on their own way, and it’s pretty difficult to
show others what it means to you. I just hope it never ends.
