My Best Friend

I had the liberty to talk to one of my best friend, Eva today. I’ve known her since I was a child. She needed my opinion because her supervisor said that they are considering demoting her because she is emotional at work. Her supervisor caught her one time crying during her break, and she thought that was the reason behind the planned demotion.

Growing up, every time I feel sad, betrayed or even afraid, I always come to Eva. I always see her as someone I can turn to every time I need someone to talk to. She would often tell me what I need to do. I always feel better after talking to her. Today was very different, she came to me. I did my job as a friend; I listened and gave her my advice. It was a bit odd for me that I am the one giving the advice and consolation, usually I am the one asking for her input because I always looked up to her as an elder sister. Eva has taught me a lot, in life, in friendships, and even in relationships. It’s funny how you think you know the person for so many years and realize that this is something new I found out about her. She comes across as loud, witty, animated, and always has a comeback or a punch line for every conversation we have. She manages to turn everything into a joke, even when I am sad she finds the humor in things. I think that is what I love about her.

I am just glad that I was able to help her and it means a lot to me that she came to me in her time of need. I made me feel good to be able to help her. It changed my opinion of her. It made me realize that she can be as vulnerable as anyone else who has a problem. I found out that I can also give sound advice and I made her feel better in a way that she had always me feel. I was always the one who came to her for advice. This was the first time she came to me and asked for my advice. In the end of our conversation I told Eva that she can always come to me for anything.

In our everyday life we go through various experiences. The results can be good or bad or a combination of both. It is nice to know that you have someone you can count on.
