allyson.

i finally watched bride wars today and i have to say that it has been a long time since a movie about two best friends has hit so close to home with me. not to say that i've ever personally been in this situation. i'm only 18 and no where near close to any sort of marriage ceremony. but the last lines in the movie really got to me:

sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. maybe you'll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding, but theres also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along.

and it made me think about the one person who's been standing beside me for as long as i can remember; my best friend: allyson. she is the liv to my emma. i had forgotten how much she meant to me over the past year, what with not seeing her basically every day. and i am so excited for this semester because I KNOW i'll be visiting her wayyy more than i did last year, because going to see her as much as i possibly can is what i should've been doing all along.

You inspire me because you've proved to me that friendship doesn't have to die eventually, and there is such a thing as a lifelong friend and that love can last forever, even if it is hetero-life mate love. I'm pretty sure you're my soul mate :)
