this post has no rhyme or reason. bear with me.
i had a long overdue chat with my best friend. finally, at last, someone told me all the truths i've been dying to hear. that's what i love about best friends. there's so much love between us, that there is no pretension. i know she's not being malicious, or saying what she says to hurt me. she loves me. she wants me to be better. she loves to help me.... and i love it when she does.
my nearest and dearest have been besties for 9 years now. we are so excited to be besties for the rest of forever. HE could not have put 4 more different girls together, who have come to love each other with such unconditional craziness. we have been through our own rough patches... and we always come out on top.
you know the part in JOB when his friends just sit with him as he mourns? we've done that.
you know the part in pride and prejudice when they stay up all night talking and giggling? yeah, we've done that. you know the part when one of them has an emotional breakdown and the others band together to help her through? yep, done that too. you know the part where your inside jokes have inside joke that have inside jokes? check. you know the part where you don't even have to talk to know what the other one is feelin? done. you know how there are no secrets between people who have shared so much together? it's blissful.
so here's a shout out to the most amazing people in my life. to those girls who are the only ones courageous enough to call me out on my ridiculousness, talk me through my stress, make me laugh when i'm crying, still think i'm beautiful (somehow), always say the most comforting things, effortlessly blend spiritual guidance with street-smart common sense, and love me through it all.
we left childhood together, stumbled through happy teenage years, accomplished dreams, laughed till we cried, cried till we laughed, philosophized, dramaticized, pranked, mourned, worked, and loved together.
here's to 900 million bazillion quadrillion more years of this... this bliss. i love you.
