Gold friend
“The silver friend knows your present and the gold friend knows all of your past dirt and glories. Once in a blue moon, there is someone who knows it all, someone who knows and accepts you unconditionally, someone who is there for life.” Everyone needs a friend that they can always count on in their life.

It was an ordinary Sunday morning; the sun was shining as usual. I put on my youth group uniform, which consisted of a white shirt and a navy blue skirt.

I sat at her table every time after every mass, but we didn’t say a thing to each other until after several months of sitting together.
Her name was Julia and we became very good friends. It took us a long time to become friends, because we were both shy and awkward. We became closer after that I mustered up my courage and suggested that we play tic-tac-toe together. Sunday school also helped us become better friends, because we were in the same class and desk mates. After a while, we also started to hang out outside of the youth group. We went to each other’s houses and did our homework together. She always listened to me and comforted me whenever I was sad. She was there for me when I was stressed out about school and when I had family
