Friendship is such an amazing thing. The only problem with it nowadays is that you don't know which friends are true and which friends aren't. I always thought I had friends, when in reality, I only had "friends".
That is until 2010.
In 2010, my family and I started going to a new church. I still remember my first encounter with a girl named Abigail, who is now my best friend in the entire world!
This is what normally happens at my church: We have worship, then we have a 5 minute beak, and then we have the message. During the 5 minute, my cousin and I were sitting and talking to each other about how we were pretty much being loners. This girl came up to us and was extremely animated when she said, "HI! My name's Abigail! What's yours?!"
Now at this point I was shocked and, to be honest, a little scared. I was so nervous about talking to the people at this church and she just came up and was all outgoing. It was CRAZY! Long story short, I talked to her and she showed me what true friendship is. Now, 5 years later, I can't imagine my life without her as my best friend. (Granted, I have another Best Friend also.)

That's us...Ain't we cute?
Here are some tips on finding friends rather than "friends":
1) If your friends don't except you for who you are, they aren't really your friends. Your true friends should never try to change you.
2) Your true friends will believe in you, even when you don't believe in yourself. They will be there to lift you up and encourage you.
3) If someone can make you smile even when you want to cry for days, they are a true friend. If someone is the reason you want to cry for days, they are not a true friend.
4) A true friend will care enough to notice when your smile is real or fake.
5) If a person there for you during the hard times, they are the friends worth keeping in your life. If someone leaves you because they "can't deal with this right now", they are not true friends.
I love going on Pinterest and searching 'Best Friend Quotes' or 'Friendship Quotes' and seeing the different things that pop up. Here are some of my favorite ones:

I love this girl so much! I can't imagine what my life would be like without my best friend in it. I'm also very happy that she was a TRUE FRIEND rather than a "FRIEND". I thank God everyday that I got to meet her! I dedicate this post to her and her awesomeness.
