I have always knew but never truly realized how much love means to a person.  Whether it be with a spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or it be a friend or best friend, or even a person who just met, you are always loved.  I’ve now realized that your friends are always there for you.  They always are there to help you and give you advice on how to help yourself.  Compared to the love from a significant other, your friends will always be there and sometimes after you lose someone in your life you begin to realize how much you are loved by them.  It is your friends who want the best for you, who you can always rely on for a laugh, a smile, and a shoulder to cry on.  Without the love from your friends, you sometimes don’t feel loved.  It is now that I realize how much a friend is really worth.
