    Randomness: Thank You Besties

    You got my back and I got yours. A quiet understanding amongst ladies who met over a decade ago in fifth grade. I cannot remember the first time we met, but since that day, we’ve been tight like spandex. These two ladies are my crew, my sisters from other ma’ams and misters, and in case you haven’t caught on, a large part of my life.

    We’ve matured into awesome women with our inner children still intact. Major life events occurred and we’ve been there, oftentimes as quiet support. Just to let the other know that we’re here. insert b-boy stance here That’s what we do, yo, haha!

    From the bottom of my heart, I thank you both for being in my corner. Always telling the truth even when it hurt like a stab wound to hear it. Now before I get all teary eyed and whatever, let me finish by saying something so simple yet so profound.

    Thank you.

    Comfortably Just Friends

    You and I. Best described as friends who subconsciously dip their toes into murky water. When I look back at our history, I laugh. Not as a joke, but in amazement. We’ve come a long way since 7-11 don’t you think? We became pretty good friends, sorta like two magnets in a way. Even when we get caught up in our separate lives, we always manage to find our way back. It’s crazy how we catch up and move right along, never missing a beat.

    In the words of the late Amy Winehouse, “you’re my fellow, my guy”. You make me smile on my absolute worst of days. So much is said when we sit in silence. I’m comfortable in this space, but I’m curious. A small part of me wants to know what would happen if both feet were in that water?

    Would that makes things weird? Some would argue that titles tend to ruin things. I don’t know about you, but dating for me has been exhausting. While potentials may be great, they’re not you. The easiness that I feel around you isn’t there with them. By no means am I blaming you. I’m holding others to a standard that it’s exactly fair. Am I thinking too much into this? Perhaps. Then again, I don’t want to hold out hope for something that just isn’t destined to happen either.

    For now, I’m comfortable being your friend. Murky water optional.
