Friendship

Friendship isn't something easily defined but the beautiful thing about friendship is that it doesn't need to be. Every interaction between people creates a bond but friendship is more then that, it is more then a dictionary definition. Friendship is extremely difficult at times but on the other hand it can be a breeze, it all depends on the people. That's why you can't define friendship, because you can't define the people.
This school year has helped me realize this. Living with 5 other people who come from different backgrounds, who see the world through different eyes, has taught me that these differences in who we are create what we know as friendships. Some friendships are destined for years, some for months and some just for the day, but in any case the people still change because of it. Some people learn to be more trusting, more open-minded. Others learn to be more closed off, more close-minded. The thing that I hope comes of my friendships is that they last as long as they should and that I learn from them to be a more balanced individual.
Biologically all humans strive for homeostasis, a balance in your body, so why not strive for homeostasis, a balance in your mind.
