I have found mine, she lives in me.

She doesn't criticize me but instead help me be better.

She's strong willed and her strength inspires me.

She walks graciously and her characters though aren't perfect but are still worth emulating.

She's beautiful inside out and her kind-hearted heart is just so pure.

She's brave and gives motivational quotes in time of troubles.

She's a prayer warrior whose presence shakes and shatters the rims of the wicked ones.

Her laughter ,like an angel's voice keeps a beautiful smile on my face.

She's crazily unique and a weirdo.

You'd think you finally got to know her only to realize you know nothing.

She's mysterious but yet well known to me.

There's none like her because her act of selflessness can't be measured.

She laughs at me when I got my buttock hard on the floor, then come around to lift me up only to fall beside me.

She has never left me because she lives in me.

Even when my shadow left in my darkest hours, she was there with me, guiding me with her soothing soft voice to take away every fear in me.

She's my healer, helper, lover, motivator and more than what I'd ever hope for.

She's a queen not just with a crown but a heart and voice to lead her people.

A pirate whose ready to break the storm in half with her shining sword and save her sleeping crew the stress of fighting hard to calm the storm.

Her presence light up the room just like a shining star.

She's a joker and a clown in one.

Her love is something have never witnessed before.

Though she has been hurt and broken at a tender age, she still found the will to protect and love those besides her.

A blazing fire had caught her in a tight embrace, not letting go until there were thousand scars to tell a million stories both inside and outside.

She wears her scar like a brand new designer cloth to mock those who inflicted those pain on her.

I have found her and come to love her because she is my best buddy.

Hello lovely readers , friends and sponsors of @Read.Cash good tidings to you all. I hope today is going even more than your expectations.

Thanks for the comments on my article yesterday.

To my sponsors, I love and appreciate you all.

On today's article on if you've found your best friend. We are familiar with the term best friend and we all have one to showcase to the world.

The people we term as our best friend have laid different impacts on our lives, either positively or negatively. We have spent most of our times with them which might be from our childhood days or during our teenage years or adulthood.

We've all done silly things together, had our little secrets, crushes and unforgettable things.

What defines a best friend

We all have the qualities we need in our friends,things that lure us to them, wants to make us be in their company, go out with them,be called their friend and all others.

To me, a best friend is someone who you can:

• Freely relate with

• Share secrets with

• Be maybe not 100% but 80% sure of their loyalty towards you.

• You can trust or believe.

• Boast about

• Call at anytime of the day and you're sure they'llll always be there.

• Go out with and have fun together.

  ****************************

• Freely relate with.

  I believe you should be able to be

  yourself with your best friend. You shouldn't be able to hold on your crazy attitude or hide some of your weird behaviors too. Someone you can be with and totally be your true self, not holding back. When you are with someone who you cannot freely relate with or who judge or cast your crazy attitude, stay away from that person. He or she is a killer of your joy and shouldn't be related with.

• Share secrets with.

You should be able to share those little secrets of yours and fantasies to that person. Places you've been to that no other person knows about,things you've done or will do and all other juicy details you'd want to talk about. Some fail in this aspect as they share the little bedroom secret shared and waggle up their tongue to tell someone else.

• Be maybe not 100% but 80% sure of their loyalty towards you.

Loyalty as no cost because it is priceless, it shouldn't be taken for granted towards the person whom you've taken as your best friend. Our loyalty gets tested when we are left to choose whether to help her friends towards something instead or ourselves. You should be loyal to your friends and be able to back them up at anytime.

• You can trust or believe.

You should be able to believe your secret shared are kept hidden by your friend. Never to be heard or known by anyone. Be able to believe in their words without doubt. Fate sometimes play it tricks on us, giving us people whose words are just sugar coated with venomous sting to it when we truly find out we've been betrayed. Trust they say, is like an eraser, the more word it cleans the shorter it gets until it left to nothingness. The moment trust is broken, it becomes hard to regain.

• Boast about.

They said, show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are. Yes!, the kind of friend you link your arm up with and walk around with in open places ,the one you can present to your parents or other friends and be proud of them without holding back on some of their behaviors because you've truly found one. Not the one you're only okay with in a corner and then go out and then ignore their presence.

• Call at anytime of the day and you're sure they'll always be there.

Most of us have been fortunate to meet up with friends who we can call at anytime and they won't hesitate to answer us and lull us to sleep or chat or talk to us when we need support from them. Though they aren't God and wouldn't be there all the time but still you believe they'll be because they are always there. Someone who will pray with you or for you when you need your healing, who understands you and will never ignore your call or presence.

• Go out with and have fun together.

The kind of friend you can go out with to places and you feel safe in their company. The one you can go out to club with and get drunk and be sure they'll get you home without no complain. The friend you can plan with and go on picnic with.

These I believe a good friend who is regarded as a best friend must have.

If you by any means find someone who possess these characters,hold tightly on them and be good to them.

You can add yours too.

Many have found their best friend, some in their wives, husbands, colleagues, childhood friend or themselves.

I found my best friend in myself.

What about you, have you found your best friend?

Thanks for the usual tips comments and love.

I appreciate you all, including my sponsors. Your presence in my life is immeasurable..

Thanks for reading and stay safe.
