Real

Your best friend leaves for a few days… and you realize how much you love them, how much you rely on them and want to be around them. You realize how fake other people are, how good it feels to have a true friend, how fun it is to have a person to tell everything to, to share codes with…. 

The best friend of my life time… she left for more than a few days, now I'm lucky to see her for a few days… and I cried as I hung up pictures of her in my room. I cried thinking about the times we laughed… the top roman day on our bed room carpet, the head-splits treatment, the goofy laundry basket out the window with jump ropes prank. 

My best friend of my childhood, I left her, it rainy seattle. Thank heavens for cell phones, she still knows just as much… she still cares just as much, she's just 14 hours away.

My best friend and practically soul mate, well she left for like three days and I felt like I was at another funeral. I have friends around, but when stupid guys are being stupid guys, stupid girls are being stupid girls and you're working eight to five, you just need someone to come home and make it all better. That would be Kylee Geisler, my hero.

She left. And I followed her shortly after. Thank heavens for Ethan Abbott and his generosity to drive me to Rigby, Idaho. It's there where I grew to love Kylee even more than I already do. To meet her family, to instantly love her family as my own and feel a part of it. Whoever said Rigby would be boring… doesn't know me and Kylee…

Blind dates, off roading, pillow talk, barbie dolls, videos, four wheeling, pictures, food food food, online shopping, tanning, hot tubbing, movies… living the life. From boy to boy, no expectations, no promises, just a fun, relaxing weekend. 

And I will tell you. That was an amazing weekend. I had an incredible time. And would've stayed if I could…

And then I come home. 

Without her. 

And I come home to the exact opposite.

Works great, life's great, the foods pretty good… BUT my best friend… gone. Incredible trustworthy girls and guys, non existent…

It's so true that there is opposition in all things, because let me tell you there are some real fake piece of crap friends out there. When you do nothing to someone, and get betrayed and mocked… really says some things about a person, really explains things about a person and really really really really really makes you mad at a person. 

Am I embarrassed? Nah… it's those kinda choices where I'll just say, if you're that oblivious and shallow, then you're too dumb for me. Am I shocked? Nope. 

Thanks to my real friends for showing me the truth,

Thanks to my real friends for understanding me.

Thanks to my real friends for being REAL. 


Thanks for friends who turn my frown upside down, who take the time to care about my feelings and get to know me, who make me feel like an important person on this earth.
