A best friend is your nearest and dearest companion, and it’s a special relationship to share with your closest pal. But “best friend” is more than a title—it’s something you earn by being a kind, empathetic, and honest friend.

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.” ― William Shakespeare “Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.”

The best friends are simply the ones who know how to make you laugh and who are full of life and spirit. They are the ones who bring you joy, hope, and comfort even in the midst of life’s most difficult situations.
