Value people who are every day,nobody said it was easy...

Since we were small we are accompanied by wonderful people.We started our lifes with the hope that in this way we find many friends, with which laugh,dance,sing,tell millions of secrets and cry...

Everyone need a person next to us  to give you the necesary power to be HAPPY.

It is curious because when we are small thought that anyone can be your friend, we call "FRIENDS" too early without meet really the other person,without know if she or he be with you in the good moments but also in your bad times...

When we were in the playground shared a ball or a piece of sandwich with other, told our intimate secrets or play with our spinning tops them.

But nothing was important because WE WERE HAPPY. 

We are forced to pass for all situations that the heart can´t never imagine... 

The problem comes when the time passes and you don´t realize that the things were changed. Now you haven´t got 14 friends , you haven´t only a ball to play with them...Your problems are different,now you are young, like the adults called "teenagers" and in this moments our worries are study, be someone in the future,our family and the most importan...LOVE...

Now, you are changed, everythings changed and you don´t know where your life goes, only you know that your priorities are different... 

Because you must face to problem that only can´t get over.. And in these moments is when you know how many friends have you got and unfortunately you count them with the fingers of one hand..

It is in the bad moments when you note a look ,a smile or an embrace..

FRIENDSHIP, a word that is everywhere, we can´t live without a person to  we can call FRIEND.

We don´t value the people that are next to us every day, most of time we think that a love is more important than a friend but if you have a person with you that would everything for you, YOU ARE REALLY LUCKY! 

It´s my turn and I am going to say that 5 years ago I am very different, everyone was different. People are constant changes and when the time passes we will be more different too...
I am lucky because I have got  4 or 5 friends that are incredible and I am sure that you have got a lot of them too..

A friends is a person with who play,dance,cry
 like I said before but I BEST FRIEND is who 
never,although comes bad times,
 STAY ALWAYS WITH YOU.
