Best Friend/s Appreciation Post.
Monday, January 25, 2016
I am lucky enough to have two lovely ladies in my life that I consider best friends - both for quite different reasons but nevertheless they are both there for me. They come up in my blog quite a lot because I do see them all them time, and I have done these appreciation types of posts before, but I have gained a substantial amount of new followers over the past 2 months (thank you so, so, so, so much - you have no idea how much it means to me!!) and I would like to introduce you to the two wonderful women that have influenced my life so greatly. These two women have shaped me into the person that I am today and without them I have no idea where I would be. Without Meg I definitely wouldn't be the sassy person I am today, I probably would have had that many mental breakdowns that I would cry for days upon days and refuse to leave my bed, I would have no where near the amount of confidence I have - I remember being such a shy little kid when we first met and something in her brought out my confidence. Without Anemice I would have no one to give me boy, life or makeup advice, I would be without someone who makes me constantly happy, again she brought out my inner confidence (and some more sass). They've both played such important parts in my life since I met them both in 2013. For those of you who have been following me for a while now, I'm just lucky that I've found two wonderful people who are there for me, these two ladies are Meg and Anemice and while some people can't find one person they truly adore I've been lucky enough to find two. I've done some pretty stupid stuff over the past, well to be honest year - year and a half and for whatever reason both of them have stuck by my side through all of the ups and downs. They both understand that I am pretty emotionless and don't share my feelings all that often, so I would probably never say any of this to their faces but for whatever reason I feel totally comfortable uploading on my blog for anyone to see.
Thank you both for always being there for me. Meg: whether it be a drunken midnight text or phone call, an urgent need for help, a coffee catch up or to just talk about Benedict Cumberbatch. You don't understand how much it meant to be a month or so back when you called another friend to check that I was doing okay after my little breakdown incident. Anemice: whether it be someone to share Cosmo's tips each night, grab breakfast with, a Good Bean or share some weekly gossip. You are both the true definition of a great friend and you show it by always being there, I know I can count on you to have my back and you know I've got yours.
Thank you both for showing me life positives because sometimes I forget that things will always get better. Meg: thank you for reminding me that I don't have to put up with the bullshit from boys, the drama from girls or the self-loathing I place upon myself. Thank you for reminding me that there are always good things in this world and that we can have it all.
Thank you both for making me feel on top of the world in my times of need. I don't know if either of you know this but you've always been there to boost my self-confidence. Being around you makes me feel like I am good enough to do whatever I put my mind toward. Meg: the little compliments and companionship you've given to me have made me a stronger person on the inside. Those late night texts to remind me that I will be okay and whatever choice I have made was for some reason. Anemice: the constant reminders that I shouldn't let people push me around and that I should keep going without worrying about other people are what keeps me going.
Thank you for the daily reminder that not everyone is a terrible human, liar or cheater. Thank you for teaching me what a relationship should be and what I am worthy of. By being yourselves you have both taught me that there are good, genuine people in this world that are deserving of my attention.
Thank you for believing in me. Words of encouragement, hugs, even a short text mean more to me than you will ever know. Having someone fully supporting you is the greatest feeling in the world. Further, thank you for being a great listener. I know that sometimes it's hard to know what to say, I know that. But sometimes you don't have to say anything, you just let me vent, let me talk it all out and are just willing to listen to me. It is so important. And I am so thankful for that.
Thank you for being fun! You are both truly fun people who know how to let your freak flag fly :-) I love being around you and we're always guaranteed to have a great time when we're together - take last Friday night (Jan 22nd) for example, who knew a few drinks at a bar to celebrate Meg's birthday would be anywhere near as fun as it was!!!
Thank you for sharing your life with me. Spending time with somebody is one thing, but until they share their life with you, you're not really close at all. For allowing me into your life you have given me even more insight into what a beautiful person you both are and I'm so happy to have our bond. Thank you for being dependable, loyal and amazing. You both go out of your way to help me and that's what being a true friend is all about and further adding to why I love you both. Meg: I didn't know it at the time but you save me when we first met. You definitely turned my life around for the better and made me become the successful adult (ah, that's a terrifying word) that I am today. Anemice: you helped me to regain my happiness, being by my side whenever I need support and making me feel blessed to have you in my life.
I have (and will continue to) support, love, care, cherish and adore you for the rest of our lives because I know we will be friends until the end. Just imagine us as 70 year olds discussing crazy gossip, sharing a bottle of wine and talking about our grandchildren. You've both done so much for me and I hope that I have reciprocated back to you. So, thank you. Thank you both for being the best friend/s that I would never been able to dream of, in any and every way possible. There are so many more things I want to talk about but this post is already very long. You've both taught me vital life lessons, intentional or not and I feel incredibly blessed to know you. Here's to a lifetime of great memories, fun times, lots of wine, many road trips and the fabulous years we have to come. You mean the world to me.
Love Always,
