Best Friends...

A best friend; everyone should have one. What a truly beautiful thing. I have one. She's the one that got me to join the fitness center. The ONLY one that could have gotten me to join the fitness center. :) We both work at the same company. I can't imagine my life without her in it. She has been a blessing over the last few years. I hope I have helped her as much as she has helped me getting through this thing called life. I have had friends over the years, and I thought I really understood what it meant to have a "best friend". Truth is I had no clue. This is by far the most significant friendship I have ever had. I don't usually let people in, but she has gotten in. She is probably the only one I have let see certain sides of me, and certain feelings. The good, the bad and the u-g-l-y so to speak. I keep those things bottled up usually. It's just easier that way, or so I thought. But to trust someone that much that you are not afraid to show them that stuff? Well that is an incredible feeling. I have shut off a lot of things lately. I refuse to open up and allow another man in, cuz it is just too hard getting hurt. Most people would say that is no way to live, and they are probably right, but I have lived the life of getting hurt and that is no way to live either. Anyway, back to subject of this post. Best friends.... Love comes and goes, family comes and goes, but best friends are forever. If you are lucky enough to have one, hold on tight, and do whatever you can to make that friendship last. If you do, it will be one of the most rewarding things that you can do.
