Well, one of the most important friends in my life is my best friend Ruhshaan. People often remark that we resemble each other quite closely with our long dark hair and brown eyes framed with long lashes. We have known each other since childhood, having first meet about six years ago when I moved into a new apartment and she happened to be my neighbor. At first our meeting wasn’t particularly positive. I found her a bit stubborn and not very approachable. However, as we got to know each other well, I discovered her warmth, cheerfulness and genuine kindness. She treats everyone equally and welcomes new people with open arms. What stands most about her is her extroverted nature. Unlike me, she easily connects with people and had a wide circle of friends, yet she considers me as her best friend. Whenever I’m feeling down or lose my motivation or consider giving up, she always dared to support and encourage me without hesitation. In a sense, Rukhshana is not just a friend but a vital part of my life, almost like family. I’m truly grateful to have made her at such a young age.
