I'm glad you had such a close friend and you had a true and honest relationship, something I have never had. I did have a friend in high school that I was very close with. We had some fun times, but I wasn't really able to be open and honest with her. It seems that I've always hidden parts of myself and put up a front so things would appear to be ok.

The front was for "safety" but not the right kind of safety.
