Friendship

I was watching an episode of Modern Family yesterday. Yeah, that's leading nowhere. I just wanted to somehow subtly mention that I'm a fan of that show. Excellent show.
                    Anyways, I was thinking about friendships recently, as one of mine has recently been compromised, and I realised that friendship is one of the most misguided concepts of the world. We think we're going to be Best Friends Forever with someone in school or college, and then, there you are ten years later, struggling to remember who they were.
           I've lost almost all of my friends, save one(That's my best friend, who, strangely, is the most antisocial person imaginable). There were two friends I though I'd have by my side forever. One was my best friend, the other, well, thinks I'm the devil incarnate.
       I've never liked people in general. I always felt that there were just these few people I was comfortable with.(Mostly female, because I feel most comfortable around girls, for some reason.) Lately, I've realised that that's not true. 
     Just today, for example, I met five wonderful people, who I'd previously presumed to be 'not my type of person'. I was so, so far wrong. They are the nicest, brightest and most talented people I've met, not to mention the most fun. (All girls, go figure). I had the most scintillating conversations of my life with them. Whether it was about how cute Justin Bieber used to be, or about a song whose chorus consisted of the word 'Vagina' repeated rhythmically,or bitching about a girl whose hair resembled the color and consistency of a broom, there was no point when I WASN'T smiling
     So, looking back, say, a year, if you're a student and a decade, if you're an adult. Think about your friends then, and your friends now. They'll be an entirely different group of people, save one or two. You're extremely special if they're the same.
         Don't think that I'm saying that you shouldn't make friends or something. I'm not. Friendships, however short or long, are the most beautiful things you'll get. Don't throw them away with worthless stupid words. Keep your friends close, because, there is no human being g who can function without other human beings to support him/her.
       Friends will leave you with the best memories. From playing pranks on random retail stores together to teasing each other about romantic interest which the romantic interest in question may or may not know about.
