Are best friends real?

Am I the only one who has ever wondered if this 'best friend' thingy is real? I mean, you know how girls these days always talk about their 'bff', how they never let each other down, how they're always be there for each other...

Is this thing for real? I could never consider just one person as my 'best friend', because no one is the best. People will always have moments when they're going to disappoint you. Even your parents. Even you disappoint yourself. And, honestly, I think you can't just choose one person to be your only best friend. That's why I prefer to refer to someone as one of my closest friends. You are the only one who can be your best friend. Of course, there will be moments when you'll be disappointed with yourself, but being dissapointed with yourself it kind of hurts less than being dissapoined, or being let down by someone else...

I don't know I might be the only one who doesn't have a best friend. Maybe I'm just crazy. Even these days one of my closest friends (who I considered once my best friend) kind of disappointed me, so that was kind of a 'life slapping me' moment. That's why I decided to write this in the first place. That's why I decided to never consider someone my best friend again. 

Well maybe my soul mate will be my best friend..but until than I'll just stick with friends, and close friends. Never best friends...
