When in Doubt Call Your Girlfriends
I’m going to go in the order I meet my three lovely ladies. First up, Laura. She’s a great gal. I meet her when I was in a Christian chat room. I love her like she’s my own sister (you’ll hear that a lot.) She’s one that really understands me. We both are going through times, that it seems like we’re being picked on by God. I know, God doesn’t play favorites but its hard to think less than that when times get tough. I lost my other best friend (different article) 6 months ago, and Laura just lost hers. She is so much braver than I am. I couldn’t hold together like she did…I did however. I wasn’t what you call “brave” but I put on a mask. A mask to hide the pain that I felt from the real world…and sadly I hid from my friends too. Only a few seen it, and I dismissed it like it was nothing. Saying I had something in my eye. I’m one who everyone comes to when they’re upset. I don’t mind. I just wonder…who is going to be there for me when I finally do fall. When I finally crash.
Anyway, I’m getting off subject here. Next is Liz. I meet her through a downloading program chat room. I felt so out of place! I had never been in there before. We chit chatted and then I got her Yahoo Tag and Imed her. (laughs) we ended up talking till 5am. I know, its late but when you are talking to someone like her, I felt like I’ve known her my whole life. She is my best friend and I call her my twin. She knows when something is wrong with me. I can’t lie to her, she can sense things. When she feels something, I feel it. When I feel something, she feels it.
Now “Miranda” or Candi. I meet her in the soldiers and their families chat room. I went in there to see if I can talk to some soldiers (wink) and I meet her. Her brother was killed in the Iraq war a year ago. She’s strong and she’s brave. A lot braver than I’ll ever be. She’s got 2 young boys and she’s got another one the way. She’s so smart. I know many people say I’m smart but I don’t believe I am. If I was truly that smart, I’d know what to do with my life.
I always put myself last in these types of articles. I am Carrie. I don’t have sex right now, so I can’t be exactly like her but I am. I love to write. I can write for days on end with no problem. Like Charlotte, I’m looking for my white knight to carry me away. Samantha, I want to be bold, and smart and not let some men who are asses stand in my way. And like Miranda, I wish I have the courage to over come all.
When in trouble who ya going to call? You’re girlfriends…if you have them. If you have great girlfriends (or “guy” friends) depends on who you are, they’ll pick you up when your down. I am not sure how to end this because 2 of my 3 best friends are having a disagreement. I’m not saying which ones but I can tell you this. I am really having a tough time with it. I’m always there to pick my friends up, so I ask you this question…Who’s going to pick me up?
The End
