There are these lesser known relationships out there that don’t get nearly as much attention as the romantic relationship. Though we can spend 15 years cultivating and nurturing this blossom, it still tends to fall by the wayside when the romantic version comes along. I’m talking about that one person you meet at the awkward age of 13 who dares to sit next to you in Junior High lunch. That person you survive freshman year with, your first boyfriend, your first kiss, and the loss of innocence. She is the one person that “gets” you, and even when she doesn’t, she still loves you. There is endless advice out there telling you how to rekindle that lost romantic relationship; advice on how to keep the relationship alive when you both are changing and growing.
Where is my advice on how to rekindle that lost best friendship?
What about when she and I hit that pivotal point? No one was there with a self help book on how to keep our love together when one of us gets married and the other one gets dumped. There’s no one to explain how to remain one when one is having a child, and the other is having a house party. I know there are so many of you out there that feel the same way. We had that girl that shared our soul. Even if you were in the wrong, she still had your back because that’s what we do. So why does it always end? I can’t accept the explanation that that’s just what happens to girls who were friends in High School. She and I both know that it was so much more that.
Now in our late-twenties, after so much has been missed, may we begin peace talks?

Wow! True to that. My only comment is that we may be changing lanes, but we still see them in our rearview mirror. Making it harder to get off our exit.
Hmmm... very interesting. Very interesting.
