During my time at school I fell hard for my very own version
of MR. BIG. During my time with MR. BIG I
went through many highs and lows. But always standing by me was my solid group
of friends who were there to pick me up off the bathroom floor.
Some of these friends were afraid of me when we first met.
They quite literally saw me coming down the hallway or in the cafeteria and
would run the other way when they heard my voice. One friend wore overalls and
red ribbons in her hair. (Please throw these out NOW Char) Other friends took to me right away, much like
the friendship Blair and Serena had on Gossip Girl. We all hated qualities in one another (like
who we were dating) and loved others. We may have talked about one another
behind the shower curtain, but always had the courage to share the rumors to
each other’s faces. While many of us have grown up and gotten married, are having
babies, planning a wedding or just living the 27 year old single girls dream we
always try and make the best effort we can to still be there for one another.
We still gossip and have conversations as though we are sitting at the dining
table together.
I grew up never having a sister and finding these ladies was
one of the greatest gifts I could have even gotten. Each one of them is
completely different and the only qualities I think we all share is the love we
have for one another and the love we share for wine and cheese.
This weekend was my go to gals Bachelorette Party. I refer
to this friend as Princess Jasmine. While Jasmine is not an actual princess she
is living her dream of becoming one. She does not have a magic carpet, but does
have her very own Aladdin. She is always fashionable and is a fierce friend,
loyal companion and the hardest working person I’ve ever met in my life.
Now Jasmine and I have a very honest relationship. She was
my mother’s friend first and both of them are always sure to remind me of that.
She is the only friend that I speak to
on the phone and we talk at least 5 times a week. We complain, laugh and cry.
She is in one word amazing. She is
always thinking of others, and this weekend she proved it. We have taken the
blame for one another when we needed to and driven each other around after a
few rounds to many.
Normally when you attend a bachelorette party you fill rooms
with sexual straw and balloons. You buy the bride a sash, and a crown and a
shirt and practically make her look like Honey Boo Boo. But as it turns out Princess Jasmine did not
want to be a princess she wanted to take off her crown and share the life she
enjoys so much with everyone she loves.
Jasmine is a true friend, when I feel like Belle locked in a
tower with the awful Beast (sorry TK your not a BEAST at all, except when its
bedtime) she always finds a way to smuggle me in necessities and make me enjoy life and everything it has
to offer. She’s been my sister when I needed it and let me borrow her Burberry
Bag when she thought it would make me smile. Her friendship may have started off with me in
fear but I think once she got past being afraid of my loud voice she actually
grew to love it standing up for us.
REAL friends are hard to come by, difficult to lose and
impossible to live without. I would have to say I could not have survived the
past 5.5 years without you. When it felt like everything in my life was
crashing down around me. You gave me a card that was empty inside and it filled
my heart with laughter. You have made me appreciate everyday and realize that
everyone has their own struggle and story.
Congratulations to you Princess. I’m glad I paid over a
million dollars to go to the smallest college in the existence of the world to
meet you and call you my friend. I’ve never had a friend like you.
OPA !!!!!
*Solid friend don’t think I don’t love you as much as
Jasmine. Your post is coming.
