That crazy thing called friendship

"Friendship is the only thing that can match up to family."
                                                        - Don Vito Corleone

So I came across this line while going through the novel- The Godfather, and it got imprinted in my head.  Because its true.  I don't know what we'd all do without friends.  Even if we sometimes want to kill them, even if they frustrate us and sometimes ignore us, we ultimately go back to them, because that's how friendship works.

Friends can be strange things.  You start the friendship with a "hello", and it could end there.  Or it could grow to the point where you're happy to see them.  Or it could grow to the point where you go completely crazy and retarded when you're with them, and you simply can't imagine your life without them to turn to.

Everytime you have a terrible day, you go to a friend and talk about it.  You have a crush, the first person to find out is your best friend.  You kill someone, and your friends are the people whose help you'd take to hide the body.  

You fight, you laugh, you cry, you even feel like killing each other, and ultimately it all turns out to be okay.  You're friends again, because there's just no other way.  You have to talk to each other, because you can't even help it.  Sometimes it feels like an obligation, like your friends are extremely stupid and you just have to be nice to them.  But one day you wake and realize you're just as stupid as them, which is why you need each other.  Because that's how friendship works.  A single group of people, ready to take on the world.
