To have a good friend, be a good friend.

A friendship is something special that has a big impact in our personality, and also it can be a fundamental aspect for our society, so today I want to share a little bit about a person that has been my friend in many years, so stick around and let’s get to know her. I have a friend and her name is Marilyn who is 20 years old, she is 6-month-old than me. She lives in the city where I live, we’ve been friends since I have memory, we grow up together and my mother who is her aunt used to buy some toy for us to play, at this point everything was fine, we could be playing for hours and never get bored, but when we started going to school some things changed our friendship. It stared to fade when we both discovered a new environment, we were meeting new people of our age and we distance from each other for certain things, because she enjoyed doing activities that I didn’t like, and this happened because we had different personalities. I consider myself as an introvert who likes to be at home, and not socialize or make new friends, I’m also shy and I avoid to talk at all cost even if I know the people; this is not because I don’t want  to is because I can’t which makes me feel uncomfortable when I have to socialize or talk but that was not her case. She liked to interact with new people, participate in school activities, she was not afraid of presenting something in front of a bunch of people, she loved to play football which was great but for me wasn’t. I preferred to stay quite inside the classroom, so we weren’t in the same page. A few years passed and we didn’t get along well or badly it was just that we both had different friends, in which we could do the activities that we liked, and I didn’t have to ask her to do something that she didn’t like and viceversa. But I always knew that if I had a problem, I could count on her and she also knew that I’d always be there for her. It was weird because at school we were not friends but when she visited my grandmother’s house we used to play and then the next day in school we were not.

But things stared to change when we were both teenagers, I remember that we spent more time together doing homework and we understood that despite our different personalities we complemented each other very well which was awesome. Not only about emotional aspects but also because whenever we had a school presentation, she helped me how to talk without feeling nervous, even she would come up with questions to ask the teacher meanwhile I was standing there to remove the spotlight on me, and I did the same for her, when she was struggling to write something I gave her ideas I used to explained to her when she didn’t understand some topics, which was frustrating for her but I motivated her. We went through so much together, good and bad things. Once we were preparing a dialogue for the English class and I wrote all the sentence and she was the one saying them and accidently we said the same sentence at the same time but when we had to complement the sentence we said exactly the same word at the same time without even thinking about it and this not only happened once but twice which was crazy. We laughed a lot, and we had many moments like this, one day we were at my parents’ house and it was supposed that we were going to do homework but, instead we spent 5 hours watching movies whose movies were hers and then we regret losing that time, but it was worth it because that’s what friendship is about, even in those years we were thinking to choose the same career to go to college together but in a blink of an eye we were graduating from high school and at first we continue to think about going to college together but, we were not in the same page again, she didn’t like what I liked and I didn’t like what she liked, so it was going to be impossible but this time was different now we get along  very well and we are  there for each other.

 

If I had to describe Marilyn in one or tree words it would be impossible which means that she’s cool, she is kind-hearted, talkative, sociable, funny, hard-working, supportive, hilarious, a little bit lazy, positive, friendly, honest, tolerant, and sensible and I feel so lucky to have a friend like her. Although she always ended up doing the homework in the last minutes I mean she is responsible girl but that is something that she does and I can’t stand because in my case I always do almost everything on time, and when we had to work together in a school  project that was an issue and because of that I remember one time when the teacher scolded us only because she saw my friend Marilyn doing the homework in the last minute and I was also affected because that homework were in pairs and I got upset that time, because hours before that happened I begged her to do it but she didn’t and somethings like that  would happen often. Marilyn enjoys bothering me a lot more than she should and that’s why I get upset sometimes, she likes to make jokes about me it doesn’t matter if it’s only because I said something wrong or if I fell on the floor she always going to make fun of me and she likes also to punch my stomach but i put up with it because she’s my friend and I know how her personality is, and I know that we’re going to have ups and downs in this life but I know that our friendship is strong and I hope that we’re going to continue to be friends, She is currently working like a stylist and she’s also studying, so that we don’t have time to spend with  each other frequently but when we do we have a great time remembering all the experience and things we lived together, sometimes just talking about how we are doing with our present but the most important thing is that we like each other’s company and that’s it, she is my friend Marilyn. Finally, I would like to say that this friendship with Marilyn has been great despite our different type of personality etc. we know that we have each other’s back, I’ve learned from her and I guess she has also learned from me.
