A Tale of Best Friends 👫 #APART - A Picture & A Reggae Tune
A friend is someone you can trust. Someone you can have fun with and tell your secrets to. Friendship is a relationship that runs deep, BUT.. there is always a limit. A limit to how much fun you can have, to how personal the secrets can get, and so on. At a certain point that friend will not feel the need or necessity to be as involved in your life. Fear not though!
That is exactly where your best friend comes in. No secret too personal for them. No problem you face to hard for them to solve. However much time you spent together, there are never any regrets. And the stories you tell others are the stuff of legend.
A best friend comes in many forms. From that doggo you had as a child, to your imaginary friend you had even earlier. That awesome kid from seventh grade was your best friend for a while. But it could also be a parent or a sibling. Abstract things like humor and sarcasm are also suitable contenders. And even in a darker twist of fate, that bottle of rum that was always there for you. Eventually, if you're lucky, you land on that one person, your significant other, who ideally should be the best of the best.
A fitting tune towards this sentiment of the ultimate friendship is this one by Richie Campbell appropriately names "Best Friend". The clip itself portrays a very heart-warming story, which I won't spoil. It's just one of those things you have to watch.
You are my best friend
You and me, against the world
we don't have to pretend
These lyrics bring me to my own personal best friend. The one I can tell anything to, without being afraid of judgement. The one who has my back in any situation and vice versa. She may be an energy vampire sometimes, but thankfully I have that in abundance. We fight, we make up, we crack jokes at each other, repeat the process, and in short have the best of times together.
A best friend can be an anchor to sanity in bad times, a support pillar in situations and can elevate your own individual happiness to even greater heights. So once you find that person or entity, cherish that relationship, nurture it.
Almost ten years ago I did exactly that, thinking it would grow into the ultimate friendship. And while that did happen, there was quite a nice surprise along the way, because as I was looking for a friend, I accidentally found myself a soulmate.
#APART is an initiative by the Irie down-to-earth people at the ReggaeJAHM Community where you share a picture alongside a Reggae tune the picture reminds you of.

Great story and I like the song... ;)
Having a best friend is awesome support that a person can have in life... Everyone should have one... It's easier to go through bad things, and it's great when you share the good things :)
Indeed, and theoretically everyone has one. Even it's a concept instead of a being. That's just the way we are built as humans.

ENGAGEtokens.I didn’t know you had such a pussy side！ 😂 joke man. It’s good you found your soulmate and best friend and can journey through life together. Just imagine life without someone to tell all yo shit, ughhh. The say your best friend çan turn out to be your worst enemy but I’d rather take those chances.
Lol 😂 Sometimes it's necessary to stay on someone's good side.
You said it yourself, the line between friend and enemy is thin. No wonder some of those superhero/villain combos in movies start out as friends. A friendship is a big game of trust, so it makes sense that when that trust is broken, the relationship dynamic becomes unstable.

A best friend is worth more than a million bucks!
Everyone who has one is blessed!
The story of the video is sweet too 😊

Well said brother.
Money can buy happiness on the surface, but on a deeper level it's all about mental connections.
