Never explain yourself

Never explain yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it.
- Belgicia Howell

The quote above carries a significant meaning. If your friend is true, they remain believing you no matter what others said, trusting who you are. Or else, they will be easily affected by words of others when they are not your true friends. Meanwhile, an enemy will never believe what you're trying to explain because they had already misjudge you.

True friends can see the hurt in your eyes when everyone else is fooled by your smile.

Normal friend vs Best friend
Friend: calls your parents by mr. and mrs.
Best friend: calls your parents by their first names.

Friend: has never seen you cry
Best friend: has always had the best shoulder to cry on

Friend: never asks for anything to eat or drink
Best friend: opens the fridge and makes herself at home

Friend: asks you to write down your number.
Best friend: they ask you for their number
(cuz they can't remember it!)

Friend: borrows your stuff for a few days then gives it back.
Best friend: has a closet full of your stuff

Friend: only knows a few things about you
Best friend: could write a biography on your life story

Friend: will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing
Best friend: will always go with you

Its really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it's really sad when the best of friends become two strangers.
