What does a real, true best friend mean to you?
Someone that you share all your secrets with?
Or someone that you are always close to?
Are they like your twin, or is that a myth?

True friends relate to you like no other.
They’re the ones that I can tell my soul to.
True friends are there to help one another.
Through thick and thin, they’re always there for you.

A true friend is like a precious flower,
or an angel who lifts us to our feet.
A bond, that keeps growing every hour,
a friendship that never ends bittersweet.

To me, true best friends are never apart.
Maybe in distance, but never at heart.

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

Oh, so much bullshit....
●Mass Genocide
●Endorsing Mass Genocide
●Endorsing Slavery
●Endorsing Rape
●Hell, killing 42 kids with bears because they made fun of a balled fuck's head?
Fuck the God of the bible.

This was a great essay. It demonstrated how to keep on fighting even when you aren't the best team. Very well written.
