I had a best friend when I was in primary school. Her name was Hema. We separated when we joined college. Now she lives in England, far from my country and I haven't seen her for ages. When I joined work after college, I got another best friend whose name was Hema(not the same person) After some years she left work. Now I wonder if I will get another best friend with the same name.

Of course i have, i have 2 best friends, their names are Mary and Lia. They are my best friends since we are together in same junior high school and same class. They are totally different. Really really different. Mary is nice person, she likes to help everybody. She's smart but bad at sport. Lia is opposite of Mary. She's great at a lot of sport but so bad at study. Mary loves Korean, Chinese, Japanese song and movie and Lia love US, UK song and movie Mary loves to spend her time with reading manga (Japanese comic) and watching anime (Japanese cartoon) but Lia prefer sleeping or playing play station. Mary likes to cooking but Lia likes to eating only. Mary choose to wear feminine clothes but Lia choose to wear jeans and simple t-shirt. But, i love both of them. They are totally different but they make my life totally full and complete :)

It is so interesting that your best friens' name are Hema. I do have some good friends , and we are not in the same country, We really trust each other although we don't meet each other everyday.

My best friend in elementary school was called Jannie. We were very close friends at that time and we spent a lot of time together. We separated after elementary school and since that time I have only seen her a few times. When we left elementary school we promised eachother that we would stay in touch and we did meet a few times after elementary school, but that was many years ago and I haven't seen her for about 15 years. I have tried to find her on Facebook. Unfortunately her surname is a very common name and there are a lot of people with that name. I don't even know if she still has the same name, if she got married and changed her name it will be even more difficult to find her.

I have one. Our names are actually variants of the same stem/name :D. We met at 14, when... well, she is a daughter of an old friend of my dad's, whom he didn't really keep in touch back then, but there was a gathering where they both went with families... right now he's my dad's best friend again, and the daughter is my best friend. We are like soul mates, I've told her stuff I've never told anyone, she seems ti understand me more than I know myself and listens to me and feels it when something's wrong and vica versa.

i had a best friend when i was still elementary, her name is faith but since i studied in the city we've been separated and i haven't heard from her up until now. when i entered high school i thought i won't find a friend since that time i think i'm such an outcast since i'm from the province and mostly my classmates are from cities but as time goes by then, i find a very true friends by my 2nd year in high school. we are group of friends up until now even if we only communicated online.so college days came i found a new whole set of best friends and after graduation i am still with them and they even visited my province just to see me. and so my friends these college are my one truest friends. and i so love them so much.

I have had friends I considered best, but after years of separation, I was so dismayed to find out they're no longer the friends I met before. It seems whenever I see them during several occasions, they're always in a hurry. They have so many excuses. I don't know if they already forgot the time we were so happy together. They were my college friends. I also had friends when I was still teaching. Now that I'm no longer teaching, I don't feel the urge to meet any of them again. They always text me saying we need to meet again so that I can treat them. I always think if they are really real friends or not. It is not a joke. I know that they really want me to treat them. It's true that I have a higher salary compare to them, but it always hurts me when they make a joke, which I know is not really a joke, that I need to treat them at least in Mc Donalds or Jollibee. Why not wait for my treat without asking me to do so? It made me cry to realize that I never really had real friends. I am wrong. I have one. They're my parents and my siblings. They are my real best friends forvever.

Wow! That is quite a coincidence. I have had a couple best friends. Each of them I have gotten out of touch with as we went separate ways. However My best friend in High school started attending my University one year after I had started and so we are now close again. Who knows, you really may meet another good friend named Hema.

I had friends I called my best friends at the time..when I was in middle school and on through high school..and lastt year one of them found me on facebook and it was such a great surprise, happy moment...I haven't seen her since 1987..but she found me.. I have since found a couple of other people in my life I can truly say are my friends..whenever I am in need of a caring voice or a shoulder to cry on, they are there,,I love them and there is absolutly nothing I would not do for them, at anytime day or night...JUst like my 2 sister..they have double roles...sisters and friends...

Hi Tina, Why do you think those Hemas are your best friends? Did you experience any bestness in them? What is a best friend? Would you please define it?

That sounds wonderful! It must be simply wonderful to have a very special friend that you consider your best friend. Personally I've had many human friends throughout the years, and we also did go through stages that we were best friends, and then later on we drifted apart, and then sometimes we became friends again for a time. But there's one friend who's always been my friend, but he's not human. I suppose you can guess what this man's best friend is that I'm talking about :)

Wow!!! Nice co incidence. Both your best friends at different point of time in your life were of same name. As far as I am concerned, this kind of thing has not happened to me yet. I have had some really good friends at different walks of my life. When I was young I could point one of my friends as my best one. As I grew up, I found that every friend is my best friend. They help us at different moments, and I feel it as a discrimination to select one of them as best. May be I haven't had such an experience which could help me choose my best friend. Friends are the best part of life.

for sure everyone would have a best friend.for me i met my best friend when i was in school and from there ,no looking back.we kept taking the relationship higher and quite stronger with age.its a lovely feeling to cherish our loved ones. It all started as a casual talk and then we visited houses mutually and became well acquainted and shared common interests.it did help a long way in becoming quite thick and beat boredom at times. We always go out together to certain places and make ourself comfortable and enjoy our time spent together for sure and he is my best friend for life anytime,his name is rahul
