I’m not sure which one is the real friend

— i.c. // to the ones who lost their best friend (via delicatepoetry)

“She always loved the sea, but that never explained

why I saw shipwrecks in her smile. She was the type

of girl that slipped out of your fingers like sand,

especially when you tried to hold on too tight, she

didn’t like being too close. She’d crash into men like

the waves crashed into rocks, she thought she would

find herself in them but she never did. I told her she

already had something. I told her that the emotions

she held inside her were gifts to be written and given,

but instead she swallowed pills that took them away.

She asked me if I believed in heaven and I said yes,

and followed it with a don’t go without me. She shook

away the smile on her face and said one day she’d meet

me between the sea and the sun, I didn’t understand

what the hell she meant so I just said okay. It wasn’t

until the next day I called her in the morning and got no

answer, no answer, no answer.

The last time I caught a glimpse of her was when I set

her ashes free, between the sun and the sea. Where

she wanted to be.”

Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure, making the music sound sweeter, the wine taste richer, the laughter ring louder because they are there.

6 year old fan asks Sebastian a question.

That awkward moment when people act like they know your best friend better than you do.

You’re my best friend.

Got a message:

My best friend and I, our souls are intertwined. We are soul mates in a way beyond which any words can fully express. When I’m with him, all is right. I seek him out when I’m sad, happy, angry, excited, or anything else. He is always there to be my shoulder to cry on and my hand to hold. I know we’re going to get married one day because love, well, it can’t get any better than this.

Monologue from The Depths

Felicity Sophomore Year
Monologue from The Depths

Setting: a stopped subway train underneath New York City. Felicity and Julie have been fighting because Felicity "stole" Julie's recent ex-boyfriend Ben, and Julie wrote an angry song in response. An old man stands up to deliver the final contribution to the contentious discussion.

The way I see it, you two best friends were never best friends to begin with.

(Felicity: Actually, sir, I really think we were.)

If I'm understanding right, and I think I'm understanding right, you two met when you were both seriously lonely, maybe a little desperate, when you both needed a best friend. You shared a few things together, started to refer to each other as "best". But that was premature, wasn't it? 'Cause what you had never really earned that title. I had a best friend for 63 years ... played in the minors together ... went to war together ... 63 years. And here's the fact. You can't get a best friend. Best friends become. They don't happen in a meeting or a year or two. It's a package deal: friendship, only as valuable as what you put in or come through. Judging something like that after one year, even if you got all the facts, that's like looking for the final score before you've seen the second inning. I don't think you two were best friends to begin with. 

One of two things is going to happen. You're either going to come through this on your way to becoming the kind of friends you thought you were, or you'll become memories, memories that will fade.

BEST FRIEND OF ALL

TINY HAIRLESS NOT - DOG IS FRIEND

BEST FRIEND OF ALL

Wang on.

the most exciting thing that has happened today is when my best friend tried to say ‘wait’ and ‘hang on’ at the same time and ended up saying ‘wang on’ and I thought about it on the way home and nearly crashed my car from laughing so hard

If you didn’t tear up at this part, you’re lying

when you fall in love with your best friend....

“Before you can grow up, you must fall in love three times. Once, you must fall in love with your best friend, ruining your friendship forever. This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more. 

Once you must fall in love with someone you believe is perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as anything less than you deserve. 

And once, you must fall in love with someone that is exactly like you. This will teach you about who you are, and who you want to be. And when you’re through will all that, you learn that the people who care about you the most are the ones that you hurt, and the ones that hurt you are the ones that needed you the most. 

But most of all, you learn that love is only a concept and is not something that can be defined, it is different to each and every person on this earth, knowing that everyone only wants to be loved.”

A friend like Meeko

when your best friend becomes your boy friend

then your boyfriend becomes your fiancé

when your fiancé becomes your husband

when your husband becomes your universe

as you become his.
