The other day someone asked me "Who is your best friend?" This caught me off guard for a couple reasons. (1) It was out of the blue, I wasn't prepared for the question and (2) I wasn't 100% sure how to answer. Don't get me wrong, I have friends. But I don't have ONE BEST friend, at the moment. I have several best friends. Another thing that complicated my answer is I have different groups of friends and I have different best friends from each of them. I have school best friends, best friends from religious school/ my synagogue's youth group, NFTY best friends (which is a North American Jewish youth group) and etc. There isn't one person that I am closest too, my friendship is different with all of them.
You might be wondering how I answered the question. The person shortly after rephrased it to include people I hang out with giving me more time to wrap my mind around the question. I ended up saying around 5 of my best friends from school. Though it was such a simple question it has really got me thinking about who my best friends really are. And how times have changed...
