day 1 – my best friend(s)
i have so many friends i tell everything to, that im gonna be writing for some time.
Esther – i’ve definately known you the longest – coming up to 8 years soon! i’m as amazed as you at how we’ve stuck it out together despite our many differences. we’ve had short spaces of time where we’ve drifted a little, but we always come back together again. you have been there for me through the thick and the thin. you always know how to lift me when im down, and never cease to amaze me. there is true beauty in everything you do, and you are a beautiful and wonderful woman. i envy you in many ways, and i look up to you too. you are a star. (:
Kate – kate you’re awesome. never one to hesitate when it comes to speaking your mind, you always let loose even if i dont want to hear it. thats something that i cannot fault you for, because, in many situations in life, it is not what we want to hear, but what we need to hear that helps us. you are a true friend and i value your trust and loyalty, and you tell it how it is without a sugar coating. never EVER change that because it is one of the countless things that make you such a fabulous friend.
Viki – you are ever the experienced friend out of the two of us, and i must say you have an immensely level head on your shoulders. you ground me where i would otherwise lose focus and lose touch with reality. you are my anchor and i love you for that. always there for me when im down, i remember the day i lost hon and the first words out of your mouth were “come on, we’re going home”. i love you for being so selfless even though you had a deadline to meet - you gave your day up to comfort me in your own home, and sat with me while i cried my eyes out. you are a gorgeous woman and you will always be on the top of the list of people i hold highly. you are a role model to me.
Lauren – you are the icing to my cake. we have many years of hilarious in jokes and sentimental moments together, from me shouting marrow in science, to you saving bodo the crow from rob belbin and his cronies, to your very last night in thornbury before university sucked you out into the big wide world. there will always be a special place in my heart for you. without you i would be nothing. i love you more than penguins.
Honey – though you’ve moved on to greener pastures i feel compelled to talk about you. you were and will remain someone i look up to. your integrity, maturity, beauty, selflessness, confidence and style will always inspire me. the many times we shared together travelling home from school and sixth form are filed away in my mind and when i feel low i just think back on memories such as the day you had digestive biscuits and keiron leapt over your chair to nick it from you and stuff the whole thing in his mouth at once, and that cheers me up. when i am angry i think back to the day jessica got run over after getting off the school bus, and despite how much we both disliked her, you were the first to move, and you were off the bus and out on the roadside, wrapping her up and talking to her before i had time to blink. i strive to live up to your memory, and be as giving and honourable as you always were.
oscar – yes it might be cliche for me to consider my dog one of my best friends, but when i am down you know instinctively, and you come and find me, and just lie down beside me and let me cuddle you. you lift my spirits when they are as low as they could get, and though you will never read this or know it is here, i love you for being such a fabulous companion.
