We met in the 4th grade primary school, after I failed the 5th grade due to
 my complete ''I don't give a flying f$@k'' attitude towards the class.

I was the new guy in class, a depressed 10 year old with no interest, After some
persuasion from my mom, I decided to make friends and do my best school to please my mother.

At first everyone pretty much hated me, but after a couple of months of being nice, they started to like me and at the end of my primary school days I left with a handful of friends that I still talk to, to this day,

But one of them, is strange, I don't really know why were friends, we grew up totally different, his parents are very protective of him  while I cooked for my mom when she got back from work.
His extremely religious, while I'm laid back and don't care, we disagree on many occasions but also agree one a few, his planning on becoming a doctor while I have no idea where I'm doing atm, we never brought up each others past, we hardly know each other, apart from laughing and joking around.

Even now I'm asking my self why are friends, we've even talked about it and made jokes about it, he says cause we have the same ''interests'' , I answered with '' maybe '' .
I never thought about him being my best friend, but we've been friends for 12 years now and the strange thing about all this, is that I still have a good laugh about a serious subject.

The opposite friend, make great friends.

    TT........you are so right.....

    I have a girlfriend in Italy (i live in Texas by 13 years now) that is the complete opposite of me: rational, cautious, logical, deep believer, introvert, and yet we have been best friend since high school...

    We always say to each other that in case we will be alone when we will be old we will keep us company maybe opening a B&B in Tuscany and listening Mozart under the patio....:-)

    Keep your friends close, TT...they are the salt of the Earth.

    Sometimes you just need a break from someone that's like you.  You're around yourself so much , that you don't need to be around people that remind you of yourself all the time :P haha.   That's great that you've been friends that long :)

Yeah, So I felt lonely tonight. And I realized that sometimes it's better to just feel lonely.

I called a member of my calvary and she in turn called the rest of the calvary.

Sometimes you just need to tell someone about it....
