The most obvious contrast between the two is their physical appearance. Angie is a 29 year-old, white female that stands about five foot -five inches and weighs around 250 lbs. She keeps her short brown hair styled to perfection, and her clothes must fit just right. On the other hand, Kelvin is a 31 year old, black male. He weighs approximately 190 lbs., and is almost five foot- seven inches tall. He keeps his hair braided and usually

doesn’t pay much attention to his clothes. T- shirts and baggy jeans seem to be his favorite attire. He may top off his look with a baseball cap or a du-rag.
In addition, my beloved friends have very distinct personalities. While Angie is outspoken, Kelvin is reserved. For example, Angie will give you her honest opinion on how an outfit looks, but Kelvin may not tell you he doesn’t like it because he doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. Angie often intimidates people with her confidence. Dramatic, determined, and honest are a few words that further describe Angie’s personality. Kelvin often impresses people with his smooth talk. When asked to describe Kelvin, people say he is funny, friendly, and laid back. Angie is more irrational, while Kelvin proves to be more logical.
Another major difference is their lifestyle. Although he has one daughter, Kelvin has never been married. Furthermore, he lives in a two-bedroom brick house with a roommate and is definitely more friend dependent than family oriented. On the contrary, Angie is very family oriented. She lives in a three-bedroom apartment along with her husband and two children (1 son & 1 daughter). Angie frequently spends a lot of time with her family, while Kelvin only sees his daughter and mother on the weekends.
The well-defined diversities between Angie and Kelvin bring a tremendous amount to the table. For example, I have the benefit of the female perspectives as well as the male opinion. Moreover, one gets me “fired-up”, while the other keeps me grounded. In short, the differences between my best friend and my boyfriend are vital because they balance one another out. Without one or the other, my life wouldn’t be the same. I love

them very much, and I couldn’t imagine my life without that love being reciprocated. Angie and Kelvin define (to a large degree) who I am as well as whom I want to be.
