friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
My bestie, my partner in crime, my sister from another mister, the other pea in my pod
Dearest Rach I wanted you to know I look at my tattoo every day and think of you, although you are on the other side of the world now I know you are always there for me and when I look at the heart on my finger, I smile where ever I am and my heart swells with love.

Rumours of the rink
“Focus.” Their coach snapped her fingers, getting the attention of the skater. They were watching the pair that was currently practicing, watching how well they worked together. Stuck in a state of being mesmerized. They barely even processed much.

Not One but Two Great Friends: The Birth of the Sexy Tri-Pod
University was a very strange time for me. It was a goal that I was striving to accomplish throughout my time at school, I had finally completed this great educational goal. However, my personal life had been shot to pieces. I was entering this big new world with very little confidence in who I was and what I wanted from life. It even got to the point where once I was finally at uni I wasn’t sure I could make it through the three years in one piece. What brought me back from the edge was meeting two wonderful people…

MY FABULOUS SADIA
Dearest Fabulous Sadia, I am so excited! I discovered a place where we can rent one of those sparkly, rhinestone covered Mercedes we always joke about. Now the next time you come to the States, we’ll take that drive down Pacific Coast Highway in style, with the roof down and our hair blowing in the ocean breeze.

A Heartfelt Thank You To The Best Friend Any Person Could Ever Have
Dear Jess, I am writing this letter to you today to thank you for always being there for me whenever I needed you. You and I have been friends for 17 years and I swear our friendship just grows stronger with each and every single passing day, in fact you have become more than just my best friend; you have become my sister. You have seen me through 2 divorces and multiple bad relationships, you’ve seen me through lost babies, mental breakdowns, bad choices, and we’ve even had a lot of fun together. You’ve stayed up on the phone into the early morning hours joking around with me or just talking about anything and everything. We share the same views and hold the same morals and we like the same movies as well as music. You were there to encourage me when I was a single mom to two young kids working two jobs just to put myself through school while also supporting my children. You never allowed me to ever believe that I couldn’t do something. I honestly don’t know how it is you even deal with me at times. You have kept me sane when all I wanted to do was fall apart. You have listened to me cry over lost relationships, you know all my secrets, you know all there is to know about me and you never once judged me. You have never once turned your back on me and for all of this I am and always will be eternally grateful. I can never put into proper words just how much it means to me just having you in my life. You make the baddest of days seem not so bad and you make the good days even better. I could never even if I were to live a million years ever thank you enough for always being there to help me to pick up the pieces of my shattered life. You are funny, caring, smart, selfless, and humble. You are a beautiful person inside as well as outside. I really don’t think I would still be here on this Earth if I had never met you. You are and always will be my very best friend. You give me strength to go on when all I want to do is give in. I appreciate every single thing you have done and continue to do for me. If there were more people like you this world would be a much better place. Please always remember how very special you are and how I look forward to each and every single time we talk. You and I are going to be friends forever. You and I are going to be the crazy old ladies in the nursing home racing our wheelchairs up and down the halls screaming with glee while driving the staff as well as the other residents crazy lol. So here is to another fifty years of laughter and tears. G-d willing we live that long lol. I really just can not seem to find the words to properly thank you. I look forward to all that the future brings for us. I can’t wait for the day when we become grandmothers to beautiful babies whom we will brag about to everyone and be showing off their pictures all over Facebook. Somehow knowing that I have you in my life makes the future seem not as scary as it would if I had to face it alone. I really and truly believe G-d made us friends for a reason. I truly believe that you and I will be best friends for the rest of our lives and maybe even into the afterlife. I love you so very much forever and always.

Unexpected Friend
I have to say, hopefully I am not the only one who feels this way about female friendships. I felt that through out my life, female friendships were hard to either keep or fine. Until I met my bestfriend last year of 2019. No it hasn't been that long since we have considered each other best friends, but that's exactly what it feels like. My best friend Shontierra and I met during vocational school for medical assistants. We met in the introduction part of it. The class was called SOS. You go through the SOS part first before you began your actual medical assistant class. Shontierra, (who goes by Shonti) was sitting all by herself, looking confidant and focused. I was considered the "new" girl coming in because I started a week or two behind. The girls in the classroom looked as if they had already had their clicks or partner in crime beside them. Not Shonti. She was the only one sitting by herself as I sat with another classmate in front. Our first conversation started up as, of course, about astrological signs and what sign are you blah blah blah. She stated that she was a Virgo, and I said, ooooh Virgo? I like Virgos, except for Beyonce, I don't really see the hype, but she is an awesome entertainer. As soon as Shonti said, yes I agree, we were hooked to each other that day! hahaha. Now at first, I didn't think Shonti liked me very much, but when I learned more about her personality, she is an observer who opens up later after getting to know you more. I think she was just feeling me out, as you would call it. We became instant friends becuase we had the same passions, the same goals, and the same morals and values. But what really brought us close was our spiritual persona and openness. We could both talk about things that most people would just look at us crazy and walk away. We are both not religious by any means, but we share a personal relationship with God. And I could tell Shonti about my weird dreams and seeing symbols and signs, and she could tell me the same. It felt very very natural with Shonti and I could be myself. The biggest thing about my awesome friendship with Shonti, is that she doesn't expect anything from me and our friendship. And what I mean by that is, in the past, I have been surrounded by friendships where its supposed to be about give and take, but I usually end up being the giver. And then I give some more and some more, and then their I am left figuring out why I feel so empty and drained all the time. I was giving so much that I forgot what its like to receive in a healthy friendship. Shonti has shown me was a true friend really is. I was not used to a friend bringing me food to class just because, or bringing me a gift just because she thought it was my style and taste. We also disagree and argue like real sisters too. Which is really different from my other girl friendships, because I thought we AGREED on everything and they always took my side, which I never thought it felt right, because true relationships tell you the truth whether you like it or not because they care for you and love you. And that's exactly Shonti and I's relationship. We tell each other the truth no matter what in a loving way and encourage each other through the good and the bad. I could call up Shonti for anything, anytime, or any reason. She ALWAYS has my back, even when we disagree, we both come out laughing. I met Shonti, the same year I lost my younger brother and childhood friend . The year we met was a pivotal time in my life because a lot was going on in my life that was out of my control. But because of my brother's death, it taught me how to live again, and that life was to short, and to start your dreams while you can. If I never went with my gut or intuition to start school, I would have NEVER met Shonti. Once again, yes, Shonti and I have only been friends for about a year and a half, but for me, time doesn't mean anything when your friendship is a blessing from the stars. I am really truly grateful for Shonti. She is the kind of friend that I have been praying for and has shown me my worth and what a true female friend really is. I am very VERY blessed and honored to have her as my best friend and no, I don't believe in coincidences, I believe in fated paths that are bound to cross when the time is right.

A friendship like the garden
Our friendship, like the garden, goes through phases. Some moments we are the seeds, dormant, existing in the dark together. Sometimes one of us is sprouting, while the other is not. Our friendship is often the wild bloom in July when everything is green and shining. Our friendship is change. Everyday in the garden is exciting, as some new development has occurred. I don’t judge the newness. I don’t judge the leaves that have been shed, or the new roots. And neither do you.

My Best Friend Mr. Sidney Darcy
Of all the moments I can deem meaningful, there are so few that compare to befriending Mr Sidney Darcy. We were born two years and one month apart, and for most of our lives (to his stylish disdain) we have looked like twins, my mother confusing our mop-top haircuts and lanky statures. Although I'm unsure if that was her lack of attentiveness, or us sharing similar looks, regardless it was never a circumstance for shame. In fact, I indulged in the idea of sharing a look. In retrospect, I already had two older brothers, the primary of which my mother named Matthew, passing away just hours after birth. The other, Ross, the first living heir to my father's surname, and it is he we do not speak about, being a traitor to the bonds of blood. And even with these facts being so, Sidney Darcy is the brother I consider to be more than family, he is my souls home.
