Personal Narrative: The Day I Moved My Best Friend

731 Words3 Pages

About a year ago, I lost many close friends. They were changing from the people I once knew, into strangers. They all started to act in ways that I couldn't. I remember when they had finally done it, and drove me away. So I decided to change my friend group and they didn't like that. Soon the people I would say anything to, became the people I wouldn't say a word to. Ever since then I have been careful with the people I meet and the friends I have. I guess that plays a role in this situation. A few months ago I meet someone new, someone I’d never thought I'd know. But like I said, it was great at first. Her name is Shannon, she has reddish hair with the greenest eyes. She has freckles all over and dimples that can deceive anyone.

But I was so glad with this new person in my life that I forgot about the rest. I forgot about the friends that helped me through my roughest times, the friends that could change my mood instantly.

We say hi to each other in the hallways, or at lunch. But we never hang out or have an actual conversation. Through all of this, I got a reality check. I got to remember that the people I should be hanging out with, are the people that have always helped me through any mess i'm in. I'm just really lucky to have friends that would stick with me through all of my troubles, but that's what friends are

    And she apologized and said she “didn’t realize” she was hurting me. We are definitely not close friends at all, but we don’t ignore each other and we talk at church, but it will never be the way it was and frankly I am glad that this “obstacle” happened.

    Friendship is based on mutual respect and trust. When a friendship is betrayed it is one of the worst feelings that people can experience. Friendships that last from childhood through old age are some of the best in the world. Friendships that come about in times of adversity can be even more important as the people suffering the adversity have no one else who understands their situation as well and that creates an incredibly strong bond. When people, who have experienced these types of friendships, are betrayed after having been so close for so long or in extreme circumstances, the betrayal seems all the more horrible.
