Thing One and Thing Two

Honestly. I don't know which one is which. Its pretty hard to tell when you and your best friends lives mirror each other so well.
Following my emphasis on friendship I would like to take today to talk about my friend Naomi. She is so wonderful friend of mine, may as well be my twin. Although I don't see her a much as I'd like to since we started college, it brings me some sort of security that we can still see each other as sisters. Our friendship is best described and "random spur of the moment". Honestly, I think we define YOLO (You Only Live Once).
Fore example:
- Finding a hood Chinese food restaurant (not the authentic sort) in Flushing, Queens. Panda House. YOLO!
- Clubbing Attempt. YOLO!
- All- Star cheerleading, YOLO!

I remember all the times we'd sit around and talk about our love lives, our families, or any time we're going through a rough patch. She is the one I can count on to give me the unexpected response I want to hear. Although with me living in the boondocks seeing each other was never really easy, when I needed to be with someone she would know the exact key time I needed her and she'd be there. How did she always have that timing down packed? I'm just gonna call it our twin telepathy.

When my first relationship ended just shy of 2 years, she picked me up from school ad we had a 7/11 date on the would have been anniversary. She didn't have to but just the fact that she did on that specific day means the world to me. And as a wise man by the name of Jay-Z once said, we were "on to the next one"...boyfriend wise.

We didn't always have the most perfect friendship. I remember a time freshman year when we stopped being on speaking terms. It hurt then but once me made up it made our bond so much stronger. Honestly, we're probably indestructible now, She is one of those few people that probably knows everything about me and that I can fully trust. 

Even though between college, work, and finding time to sleep we haven't seen as much of each other or even talked as much as in the past, I know it won't phase our friendship. One day we'll be back on our A game with timing and scheduling around each other and it'll be like bread and butter again. But until then she should be expecting loving and huge hugs from me every time I see her, as much as she fronts she knows she loves them. All they mean are "I love you so much and I wish these few moments weren't so rare".

YOLO <3

  1. The whole post was so touching, and in the last three sentences, I could really sense that you were just....writing from the heart. Naomi truly is a wonderful girl, and I must say that I love the beginning of these "friend profiles" you're doing, luv xD They're great, and I love that you make them so personable by writing about those specific moments that really stood out to you. Brava!!!
