Seeing as I introduced you to my somewhat normal family, I've decided to make a contrasting post and introduce you to my best friend! She's agreed to letting me mention her in this which is amazing because you'll all love her as much as I do!
She's an image of perfection. Her contoured face is like artwork, beautifully made up by the hands of an expert. Her smooth, sleek hair doesn't know what it means to have 'a hair out of place' because on her head, that doesn't exist. Her huge blue eyes just melt my heart into an ocean pure affection and appreciation as realisation hits me like a train and awakens me into noticing how much this girl has done for me. She's beautiful and I wouldn't change her for the world. Her name is Ebony-Willow.
As much as that description could of made you cringe, it came from my heart and I genuinely mean every word of it. I've known her since I was 5 years old and we practically spent our childhood in each others pockets! We went to the same primary school but separate secondary schools which was so painful and heartbreaking. I remember when we opened our envelopes together which contained the name of our secondary school, our eyes full of hope but fear drowned that out with us both knowing somewhere deep down that we weren't going to go to the same school. We both took a deep breath and said '1, 2, 3' in chorus. We said our school names and my knees buckled. Tears filled my eyes as a million thoughts filed into my head. 'What if we loose contact?' 'What if she gets a new friend to replace me?' 'What if she's really glad that we're not going to the same school?' Oh, and 'what's for dinner?' of course.
Our 6 year friendship just seemed to evaporate at that moment, the lurch of my stomach was massive as it occurred to me that I'd be starting secondary school without my best friend. Alone.
Me and Ebony-Willow, however stayed very close but that didn't come without difficulty. It was hard to juggle out-of-school activities with homework and seeing each other, but we managed because our friendship was so important that we made it work. Ebony-Willow, has stood by me through everything and I wouldn't be who I am today without her.
She has such a crazy fashion sense, always wearing chunky necklaces and quirky rings and bangles! She's so funny and always puts a smile on my face. She is the complete opposite of me, she's radiant and brimming with confidence but hey; opposites attract right?
Even though you can't see this Ebs, thank you so much for being there for me, for showing me that life isn't all bad and picking me up when I fall. You've been my rock, my world and my best friend for the best part of 10 years. I love you!
I will show this to her, just so she knows that she is such a huge part of my life. Share some of your thoughts on your best friend in the comments, I'd love to hear them!
