Soulmates

When people talk about soulmates, they immediately think about a man and a woman that are deeply in love... when I think of soulmates I think of my best friend.

I met P a year ago in Manila. We met through a common friend at a fashion show. We didn't grow up the same way, didn't go to the same school, didn't even have the same interests but somehow this girl went from being a stranger to being my family.

When I was in high school I had a lot of trouble being friends with girls. They would always try to compete against me, because I got along great with guys. It always ended in fights and dramas, and one day I decided that I didn't need a girl best friend like everyone else, that I was happy with having only boys as friends.

But when I met P, I realized that she filled something that was missing in my life. Something was always missing, I just never could figure out what it was. In just a few weeks, P became the most important person in my life... She knew when something was wrong, even though I was acting like everything was alright. She shared happiness and sadness with me, and I have shared her happiness and her sadness. When I am weak she is strong for me, and when I feel like my life just unbelievably sucks, she shows me that there always is a reason to fight just a little more...

I try to be her rock, the best I can... and somehow sometimes I believe that I can help her more than I can help myself. But I feel like this is what best friends are for. I can tell her everything, I can admit to her things I can't even admit to myself... 

We are not just best friends, she's the better part of me, she's my conscience, my brain and so much more. We only know each other for a year, but it seems like we have known each other our whole lives. She knows me better than anyone else, and she is the only person I can admit things to that I would be ashamed of admitting to anyone else. 

I am grateful for this gift God granted me, because now I feel less alone in this crazy world...

I love you babe, and I miss you every day! You are my best friend, my sister, my brain when my heart takes over, and my heart when my brain takes over! Thank you!
