My Wish For You: Friendship Beyond Compare
Posted on | September 9, 2008 | No Comments
Today I wish for you friendship beyond compare. I believe no one exists on an island. Well maybe Tom Hanks did in that movie Cast Away but even he befriended a volleyball and called him Wilson.
For you? Well, I hope you find at least one of your soulmates. No. I don’t believe soulmates have to be the one undying romance or love interest of your life. Soulmates come in many packages.
Author Ilana Simons wrote, “Soulmate means a friend who understands something about you and so live flexibly in this relationship, in which you can both risk a little, and insult a little, and dare a little, and stray a little, while something solid connects you at the center.”
So, I wish for you THAT kind of friend! A soul sistah or brothah! One you can laugh with, cry with…the one you don’t mind if they see you sick as a dog.
I wish for you a friend that happily competes with you in things like sports or hobbies, but would never even think to compete with you on a love interest or with other friends.
I wish for you a friend you can do nothing with. Nothing is hard to do with others if you don’t connect on a deep level.
I wish for you a friend where silence is always an option. One where private jokes make you want to pee in your pants, and where stupid words or quoted phrases from movies make total sense to you and no one else. I wish for you a friend that when you get together, at least one person in the room rolls their eyes at you two.
I wish for you a friend that can pick up a conversation with you right where you left off no matter if it’s been years since you’ve seen them last.
And if after reading all of these things, and that someone is in the back of your mind, I wish for you time to pick up the phone and call them, pick up a pen and write, or shoot them a quick email to say hello.
Friends like that don’t come along every day. Celebrate them. And in that, you’ll make today a special holiday.
My best wishes to you,
Kelley
