Best Friends

I don't know if my man came into my life at the exact right time and changed me, if I just grew up or a little of both.  Within days/weeks of us 'dating' he immediatly became my best friend and I needed it.  I've always had best friend issues. 

In high school, my best friend had moments of loving to bring me down.  I never got it, just always let it go and we went back to normal after her little bouts.  Our friendship slowly dissolved my senior year and we haven't really talked since. 

I didn't have another one until my early 20's.  I don't even remember how I met the girl, I just remember how much I loved her.  We had the most fun together.  She was my drinking, getting crazy buddy.  We did everything together.  Even appearantly share men.  She ended up screwing around with the man I was totally infatuated with, and who I thought was strictly hooking up with me.  It was a bad situation.  I cut her out of my life instantly.  I missed her bad, for a long time to too.

Then, I got close with my cousins.  We were together all the time.  Crazy fun.  I can't even remember all the stuff we did, because there was so much drinking involved.  But, I do remember always laughing.  Something happened though.  The one cousin got divorced and she was boy crazy for some time after that, it was fun for all of us.  Then all of the sudden, she just became too good.  If she was/is hooking up or dating, she doesn't talk about it at all, at least to me.  And no guy is good enough for her.  The other cousin had kids.  I feel like at that moment, I matured and she didn't.  I've gotten over gossiping and talking about what's going on with everyone else.  I don't have much of an interest in it.  Unless it affects someone I love, I really don't care.  And it got to be that's all she did.  And her thoughts are always forced upon me.  I appreciate her opinion and thoughts, but I have my own.  And we may not agree, I can accept it, she should too.  If I don't agree, let it go.....don't keep going on and on about why I should.  I just kinda got over the whole friendship with both of them.  Plus, they do and spend a lot of time together and don't include me.  (Well, they say I'm always included but never invite me... hmmmm)  So, I think they got over it too.

Which brings me to my current bestie.  She came into my life at exactly the right time.  I knew her sister first and liked her sister, but once I met her, it was instant love!  I know I can count on her for anything.  I smile just thinking about her.  We laugh the whole time we are together.  I adore her husband and children too.  I slowly grew apart from my cousins and this fantastic girl came into my life.  God sent the perfect person when I needed it.

I can't finish off without mentioning my man again.  I really can talk to him about anything.  I never thought I'd have a guy in my life that I'd be this close to.  It amazes me.

And my momma, if I don't talk to her 4 times a day, I freak out.  She is my complete and total rock.

I hope everyone always has that total special person in their lives that they can go too and count on through anything.  I hope my bestie knows I would do the same for her too.
