Is Joy happy with her only friend?

I have only one friend called Linda. She lives next door and we spend a lot of time together. She is great at keeping secrets! Sometimes we argue about little things but there are a lot of other things that we like about each other. Like me, she likes music and reading but we are both not very good at sports. She’s a person I don’t need a break from. I can always rely on my friend. She cheers me up when I’m upset. I feel that I сan always turn to her if I have some problems. A lot of friends take a lot of time. We are just two and we are happy.
