This I believe..

There are many valuable things in life, but I truly believe that friendship is one of the most important. Human interaction is necessary for human survival, and developed friendships are essential for one to be a well rounded being. There are different types of friendships. Different categories that a person recognizes the friend as. An acquaintance is one of the different types. An acquaintance is someone that you know only from the exterior, at a basic level. This could generate a deeper friendship, but some acquaintances stay as they are. You don't share much or interact much on a regular basis. But this kind of friendship can still be pure.

I also believe that your significant other is your friend, at least to me. This is another type of friendship. Some may argue with this, but I believe this is true. To be intimate with someone, and share a deeper relationship with someone- one shares everything, opens up to the person and is a friend first, then a lover. Next type of friendship is a true friend or a best friend. This is the type that you can count on your life for. Someone that will always be there for you, no matter what. Someone that you share your darkest secrets, say anything to and feel comfortable. This is the type of friend that will be there for you through pain and joy.An old rule of thumb is that a true friend is someone you can call after months or even years and speak as if not a day had passed. That is true friendship. A true friend will always stand by you and show his/her support. I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that true friends are hard to find and the most important to hang on to, if found. This might be a cliche belief but it the strongest belief that I have. The rewards are great having true friends, whether it be 10 true friends or 1. They are irreplaceable. This is what I believe.
