Friendship is a complicated thing, very misunderstood and usually quite complex in its organization. This complexity perfectly describes one of my friendships. At a very basic level we are very different people, personality, appearance, and experiences. In all reality the fact that we are friends in the first place, breaks some codes of basic social standing. Don't get me wrong we share some interests, some nerdy ones in particular, but in general no, we are different people, and to tell you the truth, I think that's what makes our friendship works. The reason we have become such good friend, resides in the fact that we don't get bored of each other. We differ so much in so many ways that we really don't run out of things to talk about. To tell you the truth his personality is something I don't have in my normal group of friends, its a personality that directly contrasts my own. He heightens me to that high level of energy and emotional excitement that he always seems to have in reserve, and I think I ground him with my realistic approach. In this sense, our friendship makes sense, in a weird way I sometimes need that general good outlook on life, and I think that sometimes he needs the way I take him down a few notches. For some reason he comes to me for advice in his relationships, in which I have no real experience, and then gives me advice on subjects he knows very little about, but what the hell, it's funny and it works.
Over the last few years our friendship has grown and grown into a relationship I kind of rely on. Although its a weird relationship with surprisingly little connecting us, he has become one of my best friends and one of the few people I actually feel as though I can honestly tell anything to. I respect him more than he probably knows and I could really never tell him any of this to his face but I'm glad that he might read this. No matter what he or anyine else believes, he is a good guy who I am proud to call a friend. -BF
