My best friend’s name is aa Pirzada. I met her in 11th grade. She was somebody that I met at a very frustrating time of my life when I was going through hurdles in life. Therefore, I believe that she will always have m a special place in my heart. I rarely see her because she is a software engineer and she. She has moved to Islamabad and I am in Karachi. M so whenever she comes, we meet her, which is almost four times a year as she comes quarterly because of her office leave. The reason that I choose to call this person my best friend is because she has a very compassionate and warm feeling about her. She is an extremely non judgmental friend and I’m always open to being vulnerable in front of her. I feel like whenever ##ever I am in distress or facing emotional or financial or even personal issues, she is always there to help me and assist me in any way. I hold her in very high regards because of whatever she has done for me and my family. I, uh, feel like friends like her should be a part of every human’s life. And I hope that every person gets to feel what having a selfless friend looks like the same way that I feel about her. She is not only a helpful, um, and an insightful person, but she is an honest person, which is a trait that they really admire about her. Ah. As she gives me brutal reality checks when I need them the most but want to listen to them the least. This is the kind of friend that I always wanted my life. Who will tell me when I am wrong and correct me when I need correction. She praises me when I achieve something. She is the first one to clap for me when I find it difficult to appreciate my own talents. This is the reason why I choose to call this person my most loved and admired friend.

My best friend's name is Aaa Pirzada. I met her in 11th grade. She was someone I met at a very frustrating time in my life, when I was going through a lot of challenges. Because of that, I believe she will always hold a special place in my heart. I don't see her very often because she's a software engineer and she's moved to Islamabad, while I'm in Karachi. So whenever she comes to visit, we meet up, which is about four times a year since she comes quarterly for her office leave. The reason I choose to call her my best friend is because she has a very compassionate and warm personality. She's an extremely non-judgmental friend, and I'm always comfortable being vulnerable with her. I feel like whenever I'm in distress or facing emotional, financial, or even personal issues, she's always there to help and support me in any way she can. I hold her in very high regard because of everything she's done for me and my family. I feel like friends like her should be a part of everyone's life. I hope that everyone gets to experience what having a selfless friend feels like, the same way I feel about her. She's not only helpful and insightful, but she's also an honest person, which is a trait I really admire about her. She gives me brutal reality checks when I need them the most, even though I don't always want to hear them. This is the kind of friend I've always wanted in my life – someone who will tell me when I'm wrong and correct me when I need it. She praises me when I achieve something. She's the first one to clap for me when I find it difficult to appreciate my own talents. This is why I choose to call her my most loved and admired friend.
