for the journey

my best friend ever, misti, flew to town today. i love her. we became instant pals when we met over 10 years ago. to say that life has changed since we were 15 is an understatement. but here we are, still friends through it all.

we are pretty different overall, and that's part of the reason our relationship survived highschool... we never had the same love interests. okay, maybe we shared a crush once or twice, but nothing major.

we don't keep in that great of touch, sometimes months go by without a phone call. but we don't get offended. we just pick up where we left off when we do get together. oh, it feels good to unload and talk for hours on end about our deepest, darkest thoughts. it's so liberating to be understood and identified with, without being looked down upon. anything goes.

anyway, i'm glad my friend is here!

I know what you mean, Mandy. It's so cool to have friends like that. To just not talk and then pick up where we left off. I so feel that way about us. We haven't really spoken ever. But I feel like I know you. I know there were times in high school where, you know, you were mean to me and ignored me and all. But all of that is past. It's cool to just pick up and be best, best friends again. So let's do that.
