day seventeen

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.

i wouldn't say something has made a huge impact on my life recently
more like someone

i have recently become really close to a long time friend (almost 8 years)
someone i met in grade 9, back in art class when i thought she was a troublemaker and she thought i was a goodie good
we became friends more so in grade 10 when we essentially knew the same people and went to similar gatherings and hangouts
we didn't have many classes together now that i think of it
in grade 12, she became my pet rock while i became her pet monster
i still remember writing her a poem about her being MPR that hung in her locker
eventually she became my boo boo kitty fuck and hetero lifemate after a realization of how we both love kevin smith and jason mewes
summers and weekends were not often spent together when we were in high school
our group of friends was rather segregated and split
we both attended prom together and graduated together
i still remember how pretty she looked on prom and how jealous i was of her hair (side curly pony!)
we went to a (then) friends cottage and drank ice caps
had park dates and watched movies
when i left for university, in first year, contact was slim to none
but it returned once i went back home
since second year, while at school, we talked quite often
about school, gossip, movies and work
just normal stuff
when i was home, we went to movies, out for coffee (i drink tea) and park dates
we'd talk about how we both wished we could hang out

we had a friendship of course
but there was always something blocked

when i was home for thanksgiving this past october
my friends and i spent an awesome day (by day i mean from like 1 pm - 1am) picking apples, laughing and making pie.
it was probably the best day i've had in a while
it was full of memories and great people
that night (or the next night, i can't remember) we had a heart to heart
about boys, our families and life in general
shes always been so honest but im not
i have a problem in trusting people
ive come to describe it as: ive built walls with a moat surrounding them, filled with hungry crocodiles
that night, the crocodiles were no longer hungry and scurried off to some other moat, the moat dried up and the walls came crashing down
with this, a new type of friendship was created
one with common understanding and a place where i was respected, listened to and understood
we found in each other someone to confide in
someone to listen and rant to but more importantly understand
a safe place was created where dreams, realities and hopes could be shared
fears, wants and realizations were welcome
where the past and present were discussed critically, understandably and as a something that is and will always be apart of us
we found common ground

it truly is remarkable to be able to be yourself
to be mad at things, hate things, feel things and laugh at things with no judgment
to talk about the past with someone who can understand your pain, confusion and assessments
to have someone really understand where you've come from and where you are going

i am thankful for everything this person has and will ever do for me
she is an amazing individual who has overcome tremendous struggles
she is smart, funny and strong
she is my pet rock, my boo boo kitty fuck, hetero life mate and monogabee
love you snoogs <3

insert cheesy quote here!
"Each friend represents a world in us,
a world possibly not born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

- Anais Nin

twenty four days until we are reunited snoogs
