It doesn't mean i don't like to have fun or that i don't like Vegas...i do, but i am not that friend who calls you to get ready for a wild night out...maybe what i am trying to say is that i am a homebody more than i am "fun".
I want to be invited (so please do send me that invite) but there's also a chance i will not go. I want to hit that new club with the girls but there's always that moment when stilettos are on and all i need is some lipstick then i am ready to go...but suddenly i look at my comfy couch and warm, fur blanket and all urge to go out clubbing is gone. The couch, pop-corn, a glass of red and nice movie easily wins.
But i am the friend you can call when you are lying in a hospital bed awaiting some scary news and you need someone to stay and hold your hand. I am the friend you call when your world comes crushing down and you need a good cry on a comfortable couch with some hot tea, no questions and lots of fluffy napkins to wipe your tears. I am that friend you call when you need the truth because i will always tell it as it is. I am the loyal till the end friend and also the emotional friend who remembers the name of your childhood dog, and who will get nostalgic and teary-eyed with you as we look through old pictures. I am the friend who will save your money for you and remind you that i still have it even if it is ten years later (if you are that forgetful hahaha). I am the friend you leave your children with and know that i will care for them as if they were my own. I am that friend who picks up mail for her friend in her P.O.Box and mails it to her abroad every month for a year until her return. I am that friend who will go visit your aunt in hospice because you cannot be there. And i am the friend you don't have to call all the time but when we meet, we can still pick up right where we left off...i am also the friend you can be in silence with...
I am so thankful for friendships...all kinds of friendships. The ones that stand the test of time. The ones that last even when distance separates. The ones where you are loved for who you are, flaws and all...no expectations required in order to be worthy. The seasonal ones that come for a purpose and end for a reason. The workplace ones and the personal ones. The virtual ones where bodies never meet but souls connect. The ones that come our way, so unexpectedly but right on time. I am so thankful for all these friendships because somehow they have all played an important role when i needed it the most.
So many times we underestimate how important these human connections are. Or how beautiful it is that God (or whatever you believe in) designed friendships this way...that we may all play a special part in each other's lives, by being true to who we are.
Xx,
Victoria
