My Reading Room
How did the both of you meet?

Cheryl(C): We got to know each other at church about five years ago. I first met Kristin through her brother, who was in the same church group as me, and gradually got to know her.

Kristin(K): I’m the passive one in this friendship, so Cheryl would constantly reach out to me by initiating conversations.

C: We’re opposites – I’m very girly and she’s slightly more tomboyish – so we complement each other with different perspectives.

Any memorable times you’ve been through together?

C: I struggled a lot in a previous relationship, and I would call her to cry on the phone every other night. I was feeling exceptionally down once, and she even came to my house to surprise me with cupcakes.

K: Well, Cheryl surprised me on my birthday last year. C: She loves thrills, so I blindfolded her and surprised her with tickets to the Reverse Bungy ride with a bunch of friends. We “kidnapped” her at her office and only took off the blindfold when she was strapped in!

What advice do you have for BFFs?

K: There definitely has to be someone who takes more initiative.

C: Strive for a balance but don’t be calculative. If one person is better at keeping in touch than the other, just learn to accept that. Friendships definitely become stronger when both parties accept each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

K: It’s also important to build each other up through encouragement.
