Jessica Bailey Winters

Today I'm going to attempt to dedicate a whole post to Jessica. Why? Because I can. Jessica has not always been a close friend, but she has always been a good friend. You can have millions of close friends in your life, but in my opinion it is hard to come by a good friend. Some people I would consider good friends would be Jessica, Meghann, and on a good day George.

Good friends are always looked down upon because they are one step lower then best friend. Many peoples opinion on a good friend is someone who is there for them and helps them, in my opinion a good friend is just someone we have fun with but we just can't relate to as much as a best friend. Maybe this is just because I believe that a best friend is not always a true friend. Now I know I'm confusing everyone with all these different kinds of friendship but in truth there are 5 stages of friendship: acquaintance, friend, good friend, best friend, and true friend.

An acquaintance is just someone you are comfortable talking to, maybe you know a little bit more about them then you do someone walking down the street. You aren't very close with them but enjoy hanging out with them anyways. I have a LOT of acquaintances. The only real difference between a friend and an acquaintance is how much you know about each other. Maybe you have even gone somewhere together or spent the night at each others house.

A good friend is someone you genuinely enjoy spending time with, the make you laugh no matter what and they helpful and honest. If the think your hair looks bad, they're going to tell you. A best friend is someone a lot like you, maybe you've bonded over a similarity, a pain in your past or something like such.

Obviously a true friend would be at the top of the food chain. Why is a true friend so great? Because, like the saying goes, you can count your true friends in your lifetime on one hand. They are very hard to come by. They are honest and loving. You can trust them and know that they will love you and have your back no matter what you are put through. They would die for you and do anything just to see you happy. Sounds a lot like love doesn't it? That's because a true friend is someone who loves you, the love you for everything you are and they would never give up or change anything about you. To be honest I've not yet met a true friend.

Jessica, to be honest, is not a good friend to me. I barely know her, she is more of an acquaintance. Meghann and George would be what I would call good friends. I might say Darienne and Liam are my best friends. I don't know Scott very well but he was potential to be a best friend. Everyone I have mentioned in this post means a lot to me, no matter whether you are an acquaintance of me or a true friend of mine, you mean something to me, everyone and everything around me makes me who I am and that is why I choose to blog about them.

Thank you everyone in my life, without you guys I am nothing.
