In elementary school I had a lot of friends, but none I was really close with. I was always jealous whenever I saw two friends being close with each other. A best friend is something I always wanted. In elementary school friendship bracelets were a big deal in my school. It signified that you were best friends. I wanted one badly back then but now I realize how silly it was. I wanted to have the friendship others had and the friendship bracelets that came along with it. I envied my friend everytime they showed it off to me not knowing how much I wanted to have one. At one point I did get one. That was the happiest I’d ever been. I was able to fit in with my new bracelet but at the same time wasn’t exactly satisfied. I wasn’t satisfied it took me so long to get one of those special friendship bracelets.
