My best friend is Mai, someone I’ve known for almost eight years since we first met in school. She has always stood out with her warm smile and sparkling brown eyes. She’s of average height, with long, wavy hair that she often ties up in a loose ponytail.

Mai is not only kind and empathetic but also incredibly reliable. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, no matter the situation. One thing I truly admire about her is her optimism—she always finds something positive, even in tough times.

Her friendship means the world to me because she has been there through my ups and downs. Whether it’s cheering me up after a bad day or celebrating my successes, Mai is like family to me. She reminds me how lucky I am to have someone so genuine in my life.
