Reliability

That is what I look for in a friend. I guess that's why I don't have many close friends cause once you let them in, who knows if they're going to just leave you when the times get tough or when you need them the most. I'm sure everyone has those friends: they're there for you when everything's going good, but once something goes wrong, they're gone. A lot of people are like that today, but this girl named Meera Narayanan is not one of them. She once asked me how I would describe her and I couldn't find the word for it. But today, I realized loyal or reliable is how I would describe her. She has always been there for me for the past three years like no one else. A lot of people have come and gone, but she has always been there. When I talk to her, I feel a lot better and life seems so much easier. I've felt like I had to try to be close to people before, but never with her, because I know she'll always be there for me, even if we do end up drifting apart. Meera knows me better than I know myself and despite having a big mouth in 8th grade, she has gotten a lot better and I trust her with everything now. Junior year is starting to get tougher and tougher, but I know I'll have a friend to help me get through it. Thank you for always being there for me.
