This weekend, I was with my best friends just sitting around the table hanging out and we started talking about two of our other friends.  Our two other friends absolutely hate each other and talk shit about each other behind their backs as much as possible.  However, these two people are almost best friends.  They both go through friends frequently, but they still always have each other.  They will always have each other as friends.  Now, both of these people are major shitsters and that is why they will always be friends.  We figured that since they both have alot of shit that the people around them have to deal with, it evens out.  They both put up with each other’s problems becuase they know the other will do the same for them.

After the conversation had ceased, I still began to think about it on my own.  After considering most the relationships I know well, whether between me and someone else or between two other people I’m close to, I began to realize that this occurs quite often between people. So many relationships are based off of the effort other people put in.  Think about it.  Think of people you consider your best friends, your good friends, and your friends.  Now, the closer the people are to you, the more shit you have to deal with for them.  With your friends, you don’t have to put up with much and you enjoy hanging out with them.  Then when talking about your good friends, you hear their troubles every once in a while.  With your best friends, you stick with them through the hardest shit they have to go through.  You help them cope with whatever problems they are having at the time no matter how difficult the situation may be. You know who your best friends are based upon how much they will withstand with you.  The people who love you the most are the people who put up with the most shit from you.  Because they love you so much, they are willing to put up with the bad.

I was thinking, my best friends are some of the people I hate the most.  Excluding enemies and the people you just really can’t get along with, the people you are closest to are the people who can really make you tick because you stay with your best friends through their best and their worst times. Therefore, the people you love the most are the same people that you hate the most.
