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!
