Good Friends, Good Good Friends

Discovering who your true friends are can take some time to find them. They can also emerge in different situations. For me, I found them through alcohol.One was the more obvious, while the the other presented me friendship in a way that I had to think twice about it before figuring out how she made a good friend.

Friend A was easy to spot. After I've had a few drinks, she'd occasionally ask me if I was still doing fine. After we left the party, she didn't leave me alone to wait for my ride home. Thanks to me, she had to sleep over at her sister's place instead of heading straight to her house since her driver had to go. She still decided to wait for me, so I ended up taking her to her sister's flat. This action clearly expresses how you can say that one is a good friend, but discovering friend B was a bit more different.

Friend B was the one with alcohol in her system. Her frankness surprised me a little. After I gave a few side comments about how my prizes weren't girly enough, she started bringing up my ex, telling me how she thought I was blind, figuratively. You can find a part of our conversation here.
Thanks to her, I realized that I am not miserable without him around. It took that and a dream to make me dust off remains of a bad-ending relationship.

Sometimes, I get to appreciate my friends in times when I least expect to. Finding true friends does not need a season to pass or an extreme situation to occur. Sometimes, they're already around even without trying to find them.
