"Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when
you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up
almost parent and sibling to your friends - your own chosen family.
There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing."
- Jennifer Aniston


Well, you seriously cannot be that person who only values one amazing part
of his life. Your life is composed of a lot of elements that inadvertently and
subliminally define who you really are. Friendship is that important facet of
your life that sculpts you- well that may be far from being billed as a
masterpiece, but those very wrongly chiseled, joined, and soldered parts
MAKE YOU. Whoa, that's quite an explanation, we reckon but it's true.
Falling in love is an awesome feeling too, but it definitely cannot supplant
the warmth, craziness, and tacit understanding of your strengths and
weaknesses that one forges with his best friends. Your equation with your
best friends, no matter what formula you have derived to make it work,
WORKS.

We tell you why having best friends in your life is and always be more
important than having a girlfriend.

It doesn't behoove you to stay in touch with your best friends always as
your girlfriend
It's like an implicit arrangement that you make with your girlfriend. She will
make sure that she is kept in the loop in all the important or not very
important plans and decisions of your life. This, however is not the case
with your friends; this is not to say that they don't want to know or care
about you but they can surely survive without being told about every little
thing that's happening in your life. There will be times when messages will
go un-replied or calls wouldn't be made for weeks on the trot or there won't
be frequent meet-ups as they used to be, but all this certainly doesn't
weaken your bond with them.

You don't always have to be at your 'presentable' best
This is so really cool with your friends! Your unkempt appearance, disheveled
face or threadbare togs will not bother your friends at all (they would
probably be more or less in the same shabby fettle). However, with your
girlfriend, whether it's a romantic rendezvous or impromptu meet-up in the
wee hours, you have to make sure that you are arrayed up all fine and
dandy.

Your best friend will never ask you for a 'space' or vice versa
'Space' is a universal word that's thrown around more in relationships than in
physics. Your girlfriend, at some point or the other, is going to need some
'space' to explore her needs and expectations. Likewise, you too would feel
the urge to have a sufficient freedom from your girlfriend to figure your life,
but 'space' is a word that is unheard of in friendship. You would probably be
looking for your friends to make full of the space.

You can always believe in your friends advice and opinion
Your friends know you inside out, they have been privy to your secrets, seen
the best and worst side of you and know how to deal with you. They will
never give you their attenuated opinion or advice on something but will try to
keep you aligned with reality. But, your girlfriend, may not give you an honest
opinion, for the fear that she may hurt your feelings or maybe she can't
gauge the gravity of a situation and form any opinion on it.

You can have a myriad of best friends!
Your best friends are accepting and tolerant of the fact that you have other
friends and sometimes you prefer hanging out with them instead. They don't
mind you broadening your social circle and won't bother to know why you
have befriended a so and so. But this can certainly be an area of dissent
between you and your girlfriend who may not approve of your closeness with
some people.

You can confide your secrets with your friends but not your girlfriend
Your girlfriend may be your good friend but there are, however, things of
dicey nature that you cannot just spew out before her. Your best friends
share in the knowledge of both your Jekyll and Hyde sides, therefore,
confiding a secret with your friend feels more secure and easy than with
your girlfriend. And besides you cannot tell your girlfriend how gnawing
sometimes she can be, right?

Your friends don't need your parents approval
We all have some friends who our parents are totally enamored of but you
wish this attitude was same for your girlfriend. You can have a best friend at
any point of time in your life, but having a girlfriend in 5th grade is not
something that your parents will be kicked about. You will never have to
keep the identity or presence of your friend under cover like your girlfriend
for the fear that your parents will never approve of them, because parents
can be tolerant of unusual best friends but not unusual girlfriend!

Because you have friends all your life
No matter how you slice it but the fact remains the same that relationships
are (or can be) transitory, but friendships are for life. Your best friends will
always have your back, will never sell you out, abandon you or make you feel
encumbered with heaps of expectations. Most importantly, they will accept
you irrespective of your age, size, looks or financial status and will genuinely
be there for you- be that to offer a handkerchief to blow your nose or cry
with a running nose alongside you.
