For DJ...

The topic of best friends has come up a lot for me lately.


Someone asked me what I think the difference is between a friend and a best friend, and this got me thinking about my own friends. This list is for them, and is dedicated to Miss DJ, who has been there for me through some tough times lately.

She is my best friend because...


She's always been there, even when things were really difficult



She listens to me when I'm not making any sense (which is a lot of the time)



I find that I can tell her anything, without fear of judgement





She knows just what to say to make me laugh when I'm down



I trust her implicitly, because she's never once broken my trust





She just understands me in a way that no one else does, we're so alike and yet so different, she just "gets" me, my humour, and the stupid things I say that no one else finds funny



She never judges me, she accepts me for everything that I am, the good as well as the ugly





Whatever choice I make, she gives me her support. She's always on my side no matter what, and she never tries to control me



She knows my faults, and the mistakes I've made, but she never brings them up to throw them back in my face



She knows my secret fears, the thoughts I tell no one else, she's seen me cry and has laughed with me countless times



We rarely fight because we are honest with eachother, upfront, we're not afraid to tell eachother the truth



We never find ourselves without something to talk about, no matter how pointless a conversation it is



She is a kindred spirit, my soul sister. I can't imagine my world without her
