my bestie and me

How many best friends can one have? I wld think, in the journey of life, you'll make quite a number of friends; but those that stay with you through every stage of your life - those, I feel, would be your best friends. I find it easy to make friends [those hi-bye kind]; but really hard to make close friends, and even harder to make best friends.

I'm a typical Scorpio - I don't make friends easily, but once I consider you my good friend, I wld do *almost* anything for you. And I'm serious, I would.

I think you can classify your friends into this Kachru's Concentric Circle - where you form the middle, and then expanding out are rings, and the closer the ring is to the core of the circle, the closer the relationship.

I've never really had any close male friends tho, *hmm*, but I don't know the reason behind that. I know I lost my male best friend through the Break-Up; and besides him, I've never really had a close male friend. Someone whom I never run out of anything to say to, and whom I feel comfortable with.

Until now! I think I've found my potential bestie in my E lang class; and I wonder sometimes, how come it took me so long to find him. Hah - it does sound a bit cliched, since he has been in front of me for so long, and we've only just started talking.

But I really feel glad, and grateful, that I've found the bestie [as he shall be known hereafter], especially at this point in my life where I think I need all the support that friendships can give me.

My bestie keeps me company when I need some.
My bestie tries his best to cheer me up when I am down.
My bestie makes me smile, when the tears threaten to fall down my face.
My bestie cares, in his own way.

[actually there is more, but then its too early to be mushy. heh]

Okie bestie - this post is dedicated to you. Thanks for offering me your 24/7 hotline; and always remember you have a bestie in me too! *hugs*
