My best friend (Sam) and I have a very odd friendship. I am unsure how to explain it, but I'll try.
Sam accepts me as being moody, opinionated, bossy, lazy, temperamental, a little immature at times, overly private, emotionless, high maintenance and a little melodramatic.
I accept Sam being clingy, needy, emotional, desperate, fragile, selfish and thoughtless.
Because we accept each others' flaws, we are able to have a magical friendship. Well for 3 weeks out of every month. I get a little moody for the other week.
A mutual friend of ours once said "With Hollie you get Sam and with Sam you get Hollie"... It is so true. I can see us sitting next to each other at 80 years old. Sam would've never been married because she scared every boy she ever met by being clingy and emotional... I'll have never been married because when ever a boy liked me, I'd have run a mile due to being commitment phobic... We can't even be crazy cat ladies because I'm allergic to cats but we'll still be sitting next to each other at 80 talking about boys.
We have very different taste in men. I like my men with tattoos and bad attitudes. Sam likes her men romantic and soppy.
We live different lives. I have two kids and never get a break. I don't work and I am a terrible cleaner. Sam has one kid and is doing 50-50 custody. She works full time and almost breaks down when her house is a mess.
I am the funnier one, Sam is the better looking one. I drive a piece of shit Pulsar, Sam drives a brand new Yaris. I have to have all my house furniture perfect and matching, Sam doesn't care as long as it was free...
We are complete opposites yet we have a friendship that is so amazing. We have even slept with each others' cousins!
On Sam's birthday this year, Sam came around to my house and I felt her cervix. I thought it nothing to 'get all up in my best friends grill' to see if we felt the same. My mother in law says this is not normal.
I wish that I could attach a photo of Sam and I to this post, but as Sam knows, I HATE HATE HATE having my photo taken. Sam learnt this the hard way... She took a photo of me at her engagement party so I grabbed my kids, stormed out and drove away and didn't speak to her for 5 days. I do not deal well with having my photo taken!!! (I was a bridesmaid!)
I guess our friendship is something that only Sam and I get. We are great friends and I hope we always are...
