For many years now, I have had several friends. For me, it is not hard to make friends. However, I have never been the type to have a best friend. This is NOT by choice. I've wanted a best friend.
When I met Michael, I was content. I had finally found a best friend. I thought that having Michael as a best friend would keep me satisfied.
I've been married to Michael now almost 8 years. I love hanging out with Michael....in fact he is still my favorite person around. However, as each year as gone by....and as we have moved to different neighborhoods, I have longed for a female best friend.
In each neighborhood, I have had friends, some better than others. But, I have never had the type of friendship where we go to lunch together, or have a girls night out, or go shopping together, or call each other on the phone and talk about anything and everything, or go to a chick flick together, or go get our hair or nails done. When I cry, or vent....the only person who hears about it is Michael. I am sure he wants a break :)
I wish I knew where I was going with this. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and wondering what I need to work on to become more likable or more fun.
If I never do find a best friend, at least I can say I was lucky enough to have Michael there for me. He is so good at supporting me and trying hard to understand my female brain.
