Will you be there for me?

As a Gilmore girls fan, I’m a believer that friends will always be there for you, through thick and thin, and if they’re not? Are they really true friends? As a pretty average seventeen year old, I’ve had my fair share of friends. Some that I’ve lost (and tears followed; others not), some that faded away, and some that stay very close to my heart. I truly believe that friendships shape the person you are, but that doesn’t always mean that the relationship you have with your friends is an easy one. Sometimes TV programmes and books set us up to believe that it’s the relationship we have with possible love interests that are the hardest, I disagree. In a sense, there will always be someone in your life who is that guy but there aren’t necessarily always friends in your life which is why you have to keep your friends close. It’s easy to compare your friendship group with those of your idols, but it’s really about who each individual is, and even deeper, who you are when you mould together. God knows that I and my friends have been through our ups and downs… I’ve had friends that I haven’t spoken to for a year and then the next minute it’s all in the past, and friends that have made me cry with happiness and then there are those times where that guy lets you down and you need them for some serious advice. I guess what I’m trying to say is that some friends will come and go but you’re true friends are just a phone call away and at the end of the day, it isn’t a case of will they be there for you, but a case of will you be there for them?
