describe your best friend

Let me give you some advice. Don't trust anyone not even if they are good people. Everyone one day will stab you in the back weather you believe it or not.

I have had the priviledge in my short life time to meet many different people of many different cultures, religions, ethnicities, backgrounds, etc. I have had good experiences with people, and I have had bad experiences with people. I am proud to say that I have been able, for the most part, to remain a rather hopeful and optomistic individual through all of this. I do have many friends that I trust to varying degrees, and I don't dare take any of them for granted. I regard them as family. My best friends are fewer, but they are considered my best friends because they have been there for me in the darkest circumstances. They have pulled me out of the abyss of depression, they have stood by me, unwavering, through thick and thin. I trust them with my life, and I would protect them with every fiber of my being. Like I said, those that I call best friends are few in number, but it's not about quantity, it's about quality. As for a description of one of my best friends in a few words? Kind, caring, strong, generous, loving, trustworthy, respectful, and independent.
