i've been friends with my best friend since we were 12 (6th grade). we went through a lot together and we've both done pretty messed up things to the other (like the time i slept with her baby's daddy when we were drunk). but, no matter how mad one of us got mad at the other, we always came back around and are still best friends - going on 10 years now.

i think what makes our relationship work now is the fact that we don't live close to each other anymore and we're not living in our hometown (soooo much small-town drama there!!), so there's no mutual BS for us to get into together. i do wish we were living closer together and spent more time together, but i'm just thankful that we're still best friends. and i know no matter how much time goes by without us speaking to one another for whatever reason, we'll always find a way to talk again at some point in time.

you'll find someone. just hang in there! opposites attract too, ya know. my other best friend is really goth and has tons of piercings and gets mad over little things - i'm completely opposite and we get along perfectly.
