Friends are indispensable to have. It's a fact.

Online it says "Friends prevent isolation and loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends can also: Increase your sense of belonging and purpose. Boost your happiness and reduce your stress".

Meeting a new friend is a magical thing, especially when your young. Some friends you can just tell you'll be allies for a long while.

Not all friends are of high quality, even if that's how you perceive them.

I was 9 years old when I met Jennie. She and I were inseparable.

Something that I immediately caught on to about Jennie, was that she was beautiful. Gorgeous in the eyes of most people.

Beautiful long hair, captivating eyes, but what I always payed the most attention to, was the fact that she was small and lean. She had a flat stomach, slim legs and arms, dainty long fingers, I notioned she was virtually perfect.

As we got older, we progressively got closer to one another. Basically joined at the hip.

Jennie was always what my parents had called "sneaky". She did things as she wanted, when she wanted and she wouldn't be caught in the act.

It amazed me how long she had gone without getting kicked in the ass with karma.

I've always envied her.

She always had boyfriends in elementary school and multiple guys in her Snapchat waiting for their turn. She had them at her finger tips.

She'd complain about being scrawny and too skinny which absolutely baffled me. "Jisoo your not fat," she'd say when I'd try on her pants (obviously not fitting into them) "I'm just anorexic".

She was not anorexic. She was a completely customary, healthy weight for our age and height.

I was fat.

I am fat.
