Hmmmm i have so many quotes and thoughts about friendship that i bet i could blow my computers memory if i saved them all..... But I have one real and true friend, my Grace. who's name, (props to terry and dara) fits her. It's really true! What friends would stick around when i have meltdowns? My friends. But my true friends have a meltdown with me.
Take Megan and Kendell, for instance. What other friends will run around a church with you, at 3 in the morning, sit by you when you're so scared that you might pee your pants at a mosque, be super hyper and random at the mall of america, and sit in a car at 12 at night, begging spencer for some more holister spray because it's the smell of heaven? Only my 'neighbors', i'll tell you that.
Or my dance team friends. Who have your back whenever you fall. Dance is a unique sport because you and your team are one. No one can be the star. No one can be the weakest link. You have to stand by them, equally, because thats what this team is about. We bond over a lot of things, but it's the bus rides at 4 in the morning, the long days of sitting in a classroom, yelling insults and cheers at the tv where someone is dancing, and the moment when you all collide on that floor that turn you from teammates and friends to sisters.
Or my soccer team, who bond despite having a loopy coach. No, Skippy, not you. Yes B-Hill, you! We go through sweat, blood, and tears. And that's one of the strongest friendships anyone can offer.
Friendship is the journey two people take. How you can start just playing soccer together, and wind up one night at 2 in the morning, crying and spilling every single problem out. that's friendship. They have your back. They get it. They can see you smiling and say, oh, she's unhappy because she got a bad grade. Friends come and go, best friends sit their butt down on your couch and ask what's for supper. They sit up with you and let you spill every problem you have. They creep facebook with you and learn how to properly 'creep'. (fallon, i'm free this saturday. Drive by?) They don't care about rumors, they care about you.
Last note on friendship- you can have guy or girl friends. Dear Red Head Kid in the Pink Shorts, you are my buddy! Forever! Casey and i have a friendship, just slightly different than everyone elses...... :) And i have an awkward, yet sweet friendship with Elijah Mark. And an awesome one with Sharon! And my friendship with Marcus, which is more like him sending me mean texts and me making him take me to concerts. (SKILLET!!!!!) But they are my friends and i would give anything for them.
Oh, for the love of high school, i love my friends.
<3 Taylor Elaine
