My best friend

"Birds of a feather flocks together", in Vietnamese we have the same saying: "A pot and its lid fit together". Honestly speaking, sometimes, I dont really believe in sayings, for what I learn in real life is different from what the moral lesson the sayings teach us. An example is the friendship between my best friend and I, for we're totally different in every aspects.

I've known her in university, the weird thing is that we were in the same college preparation course but not very close, until we were in the same university, same faculty, same major and same class. 4 years is not a long time, and even after 4 years, sometimes I still didn't get what she thought. However, she's by far the best friend I got. What surprises me is that even though we don't share the same interests and personalities, we're still very very very good friends. She's like a totally contrast version of me. She's outgoing, loud, like to talk to strangers while I'm quiet, rather shy, and keep my mouth shut when I meet strangers. She goes crazy about sour food while I must have at least 10 sweet teeth. She doesn't dare to watch horror movies while I have no hesitation to watch them - well, sometimes I covered my eyes. Even our favorite boyfriend type is different. But then she and I have been best friends for more than 4 years, although now we live far away from each other. People say a good friend is someone who is beside you when you're at the worst time of your life. I think this is true, from what my best friend did for me.
