Essay / Friendship: Friendship and Friendship - 837
Friendship is something we have all experienced. And, in the wise words of Dr. Seuss, “be who you are and say what you feel, because those who bother you don’t matter and those who matter don’t care.” The ability to care without judgment is a beautiful quality, because we all know that some best friends can take "be who you are" and "say what you feel" to a whole new level.

Being yourself around someone takes some getting used to, but there's no one better to help you run the crazy zoo we call it. These fights are quickly resolved and this is just the first sign of friendship. Soon you'll have countless inside jokes, way more than the average person should. You start to know other people's outfits so well that you may also know everything in their wardrobe. Later this makes you the only person who can steal his clothes and eat his food, unless it's ice cream or fries, then it's a no-go. This ultimately leads to way too many trips to the grocery store and so much loaning money, so you just assume you've already paid yourself back. Of course, we can't leave out that you tell each other everything, even some of your extremely embarrassing stories. You two are more than inseparable, you become
