Personal Narrative: Karen Sanchez

Most people have had many friends in their lifetime. There are some that left my life on good terms for reasons that we could not prevent, such as moving or changing schools. On the other hand, there are others that walked out in anger for dumb reasons that should have been resolved. Regardless, there are still have friends that have been in my life for years; conflicts were resolved peacefully and compromises were made. Out of my whole group of friends, Karen is the closest to me. We met in middle school and have been friends ever since. Karen Sanchez has been my best friend for years because we have many similar interests, we have compatible personalities, and she is my one trusted confidant. Karen and I have many similar interests. She has showed me many of my favorite TV shows, songs, and video games. She was the one who convinced me to watch the show “Steven Universe”. We have spent hours discussing the themes and plot of the show; it is easily my favorite show to watch and talk about. She has also been the one responsible for introducing me to several music artists that I would have never listened to myself. I have also showed her some songs from my playlists and there has been a couple that she decided to download. We also share many of the same video games and play together often.
Karen also has a very similar personality type which makes us very compatible.
We are both extremely non-confrontational, which means we rarely ever fight with each other. I have other friends that are much more aggressive and therefore fights can be a common occurrence, With Karen, however, we both forgive quickly and communicate effectively to resolve issues. We joke together and often make fun of each other, but we also reassure one another that they’re only jests. Karen cares about me and I care about her; we both make sure that our jokes do not actually hurt. Additionally, she’s the only person who I can be completely honest
with. Karen is my confidant; there is nothing that cannot be shared with her. She has my complete trust. Whenever something important happens, she is the first person to know. Her opinion is more valued by me than anyone else. She often gives me really good advice that I might not have thought of on my own. She’s extremely caring and offers me anything she can to help. Karen shows me that she can be trusted and she never judges me for the things I tell her. She’s very supportive and understanding and makes me feel comfortable sharing anything with her. The past five years of my life would have been far less amazing without Karen in my life. She’s been someone who has stood by me since the beginning, and we both know our friendship will last for years to come. Karen Sanchez is someone that I can share my interests with, talk to when I am uncomfortable, and share absolutely anything with. She has been extremely faithful and has never let me down. Our similar interests, compatibility, and mutual trust will keep our friendship healthy for years to come.
