I am quite hesitant with best friends. I've had some rough friendships through the years and "best friend" didn't mean anything to me. I had a lot of "best friends" that have turned their backs on me, as I'm sure I turned my back on them at some point. So I never believed in the name. I believed in "she's my best friend for right now" Until I met Taylor.
***Now, my husband is my real best friend. My best friend through life that listens to everything and always has my back, however everyone needs a gal best friend.. a sistaa :)
When Taylor and I met, we didn't get along. We had a lot in common ;) that didn't mix well with each other. We met during my third year in college when I had just transfered from Sam Houston to Texas State. Though we didn't care for each other, we still hung out with the same group of people and therefore had to tolerate each other and be "friends" with smiles and drunken hugs.
After a few years of forcing our friendship, I hated to admit that the whole time I had known her, I actually thought she was nice/cool/gorgeous (which might have contributed to why I didn't like her so much?) I hated that I actually was interested in what she had to say and found myself wanting to be like her. UGH! Don't you hate it when that happens!?!
I gave in to the temptation when she desperately needed a place to live. I had an extra bedroom and graciously offered it to her ( I mean cheaper rent for me right??) Living together was something that I was open to and am so glad.
Taylor is not only my best friend but I look at her as my sister. (I do love my amazing sister Brooke, and my new sister-in-law, Amanda) So I feel so lucky to have three beautiful and supportive sisters. Taylor and I have a connection that is undeniable. When some see us together, they don't understand how we're two different people--we talk the same, look alike, think alike...everything is in sync with us. I love being around her though she gets annoying sometimes too :) like a real sister!
I finally have a best friend that I truly believe will be in my life through odds and ends and I love her so much that I will proudly and strongly stick by her side through anything. We're the Meredith and Christina, the Rachel and Monica, the Thelma and Louise, the Kelly and Donna!!! ;)
Love you Tay! IIIII MMEEEAAAANNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
*BH Love!
