Define: Friend

Picture: Friends S10E18 "The Last One Part 1"

When someone bring "Friends" as a topic, Does Chandler Monica Joey Ross Rachel and Phoebe pop into your mind? Or is it just me? Anyway, who doesn't love this tv shows? But I'm not gonna ramble on about them here even though you can ask me anything about this tv shows and I can easily answer which-season and what-episode you wanna hear (I watched the whole seasons five timessss for god's sake yes five times maybe i'm getting obsessed but to hell with it..)

Some people claim themselves have a lot of friends solely because they wants to get acknowledgement in their circle, despite the fact they don't have an intense relation with them, Some might only maintains relation in a small circles but its closeness can't be doubted. Admit it, when we were in school, lacking in popularity inevitably leads to miserable life. You won't get invited to the most popular kid's birthday party, the seniors won't recognize you, bullied by obnoxious brat at school, and then tadaaaa you're become the invisible kid for an instance. But now... I don't think it's necessary anymore. When you're at the top, everyone wants to be your friend. Have you see whose stand with you at your lowest point?

You'd be surprised to know that there are six kind of friends in our lives (Or you already know please act like you didn't and I will be the smartypants here for the sake of my post...)

When you're on the train, a stranger beside you starts a small talk on the book that you read. And suddenly you have a good conversation with them about whatsoever. But after you get to each other's destination, you won't see them again and you won't talk to them again. Another cases, when you're at smoking area in your office, you borrow a lighter from stranger and then you two talk to each other while enjoying your cigarette. After that, you won't see them again and you won't talk to them again. It's a Friend by situation.

• Friend by History

Real friend is someone who knows you well but won't judge you, who will never talk bad behind you, who stands with you immensely no matter what people say. You don't need to talk to each other everyday and every night to prove that you're best friend. You may argue, had some disagreements and fight. But it doesn't mean that you hate each other, you just genuinely care a lot. They will called you with harsh-name and mocking you. They will tell you a bitter truth that stab right in your face but also encourage you at the same time. "Stop calling him, He's not that into you" , "Cut it off, He doesn't deserve you!". Because mate, after all, the greatest truths are usually the most unpleasant to hear. And you need that real friend, a blunt jerk yet honest friend, to tell you that.

I once read an article about Human Bonding that says people future's health, mental and physical, is affected by the kind of care they receive. And people can only last three months without human contact before they become completely insane. Pretty serious, huh? Friend have an important role in our lives though some people come and go, and that's normal. We had a destiny to crossed each other path, but we will continue our lives separated at the end.
