My best friend and I are the ultimate example of opposites attract.
I am five foot, ten inches,
Fair skinned,
Blue eyed,
And light haired.
She is five foot, one inch,
More tan in the winter than I have ever been in the summer,
Dark eyes,
Dark hair.
And that is only in our physical appearance.
I am an emotional waterfall.
I cry often and with ease.
She can turn it off like that.
It's incredible how many tears of mine she had seen before I saw the first of hers.
I give in at the drop of a hat.
To the point it is not a good thing.
I am the first to say sorry, the last to speak up and
I rarely consider my opinions equal to the opinions of others.
She is a spitfire.
She knows what she wants and she will get it.
The first to speak her mind, stubborn as hell,
And Joan of Arc herself would be proud of how she stands up for herself, and her friends.
She brings out the things in me I didn't know existed.
I can be angry, opinionated and selfish around her.
Which is a really good thing.
I'd like to say I help bring out something good in her,
But honestly,
I can't believe that I help her nearly as much as she helps me.
I'm sure she'll make some comment to me on that last paragraph like,
"You know that's BS. You help me just as much as I help you."
And I guess I help her, because she's my best friend, and I'm her best friend.
But, well.
I rarely consider myself equal to others.
I think you know your best friend is your best friend
When a sufficient number of these things happen.
1. When someone tells you not to tell anybody something,
that "anybody" does not include your "best friend."
2. You Skype or call them to do nothing.
Just so they're there to stalk Facebook with you.
Or listen to you clean your room.
3. You talk about all the details of everything.
Even if they are so silly and miniscule
No one else in the world would care about them.
4. When you can rant about the same thing over and over,
And they will treat it like it's as big of a deal as the first time you ranted about it.
5. They call all your friends by name,
Even if they have never met them.
6. Sometimes you wonder if they know more about you
Than you know about yourself.
7. They can tell when there is something wrong
Based off of a single exhale.
8. They refuse to hang up the phone at ridiculous hours of the night
Because you are too sad to be left alone.
9. They sing you to sleep.
I think that good friendship, best friendship is a bit underrated nowadays.
I also think it's misunderstood.
I would be dead
Without
My
Friendship.
