My best friend just asked me to cheer her up because of some stress she's having from school and other more things. I didn't tell her I was dealing with the same stress but with different reasons. Instead, I tried my best telling her things that would make her laugh or give her at least a tiny bit of relief. And fortunately, I did it! And I was so happy myself that she told me she feels a lot better and all. Even thanking me for it. I told her that it was my job and that her depression is my depression and we had a laugh of it.
At the end though, I realized she cheered me up too even just by being there telling me things that only the two of us would know. And by just knowing that if I were the one that told her my problems, she would no doubt do the same.
She makes me feel important, like no other, my best friend.
