One of my true friends is my cousin, Candace. I know that you can’t pick your family and most of the time you’re forced to like your relatives, but for me it’s a different story. I don’t remember being such good friends with her when we were little, …show more content…
The first big get together we had was on Labor Day at my dad’s house and of course Candace was there. She’s two years younger than me, but there’s no one else around my age other than my brother. We were basically forced to hang out with each other, but that’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Candace has been there for me through the divorce and everything in my life that has followed. She is one person in my life that I constantly confide in.

We made so many midnight trips this summer that I can’t count them all. That’s what true friends are suppose to be like. They’re the people who are willing to help you out when no one else would and they’re the people who are down for anything, as long as you’re together having a good time. Even after I moved to college things haven’t changed. We still text each other every day with updates on our lives and how things are going. I came home this weekend and we went to my brother’s house together and nothing has changed between
