Friends and BFF's - Friendship Series Episode 1

People come into your life in the order that you most need them. There are times that you hang out with someone nearly every other day and you have so much fun. Then there are times that you don't see that person for months on end. There are people you consider your best of friends and people you just consider a good friend. There is a difference in friends, you have some that you would literally die for, friends that you wouldn't mind if they called you at 4am to go get them out of a jam, or friends that owe you money and you don't even sweat it. All in all, during the course of your life, those times that you have been there for them and they have been there for you has created this great masterpiece of a friendship to this day.

You have these friends that you consider best of friends, or best friends. Some people have best friends growing up that they still have today; or as people say it now a days, BFF's. Best Friend(s) Forever. Partners in crime, friends that will keep a secret till death do them part. And these are the type of friends that you tolerate, ever bit of what they do, you let things go, maybe not forget, but you find it in your heart to forgive.

Then you have 'just' friends, someone that you will probably hang out with, kick it with, and pass the time with, yet never really indulge in the real emotions and trials of life with. Maybe some co-workers that you like to have a happy hour with and enjoy the company get togethers and stuff like that. People that you like, yet you wouldn't consider them spending the night because of the awkwardness. These are what I like to call, arm-candy friends, people who help your ego, maybe even stature, that you conveniently hang around with, only for a certain period of time.

All in all, we all have friend 'friends' and then people that are 'just' friends that we enjoy at certain times in our lives. We do not purposely use people. Our intentions are not to hurt anyone or take advantage. Yet we maneuver our friendships to get what we want, albeit to pass time, to not be alone, or to entertain us. People, friends, come into our lives many at a time, some we cherish to the fullest and some we enjoy as much as time permits. Maybe in the end, we all are a part or component of a bigger picture, and we just do not know it. To some, we are more special than others, as others are more special to us.

Do you agree? How do you categorize your friends?
