Defly not diamonds! Unless we are talking about the transient state of elation. Of course the sparkles induce your giggles. You put ‘em on, you paused at the reflection in the mirror, you ooohh-ed over your new bling bling, then it was time to put them in the box again. Until the occasion arises. Or say you do wear it around, 80% of the time you were not even conscious over its presence.
I’m talking about the bestie that will enable you to stumble into your life adventures without fear, because you know, she will always be there for you. The bestie who may have not been able to call you as regularly but once she did, she said all the right things and all the necessary things you need to hear. The bestie who had your best interest at heart. The bestie that I would never hesitate in a heartbeat to put her above myself.
I am lucky to have perhaps more than one of them in my life. And nothing beats how cosy it is to just spend the whole day talking about everything under the sun or most of the time, ranting over just one issue! It is the ease of getting into each other’s car and make impromptu dates or go for a shopping spree or share a piece of cake. Or how it was never enough to spend a few hours at the cafe and then having to bid farewell, so you end up chatting away at the gate and then decided to stay for a few more minutes. The next thing you know, you are laughing your heads off on the bed. And that few minutes in the end, came to a few more hours.
And when you do say your goodbyes, you were left with this content feeling. Not the giddiness of bumping into your crush nor the fluttering of meeting your beloved. It is warmer. It is more.. permanent. You know no matter what happens, she has got your back and vice versa. That your friendship goes a looongg way and ultimately put petty disagreements to shame.
I love my girls, enough said. For all the time they have stood by me, I thanked them with all my heart. I am indeed, too lucky.
