Today Bee and I sat and had a nice heart to heart talk -- just because. She’s that type of person that you can sit and talk to about anything. It first starts off with casual chatter and then giggles, and then always turns to serious talk with tears and true feelings that come pouring out. Sitting in the greenhouse drinking a sweet tea, nice easy listening music chirping about, letting every emotion hit us, oblivious of the world around us, we are deep in conversation.
Good friends like that are hard to find, you don’t have to hold back on anything or worry later what you might have said. I wont have to dread about it coming back to bite me in the ass, she keeps things herself as I do her side of the conversation.
“Have you ever wished for an endless night?” those lines keep running in my head over and over. To me it means experiencing life with a wild twist and open point of view. It’s not like that I’m conservative in the way my life is lead but to know about thinking of taking other turns to make a different out come, I guess this is the bed I chose to sleep in. Not that I’m unhappy with it – don’t you ever have a George Bailey moment?
Bee is a different type of friend, not only that she’s a female friend, she’s sensitive to my feelings, be it about my Pops or work or some idiotic customer. She never compares herself to anyone else or brings the conversation back to how she feels. Always listening with an open heart and mind, eager to give and opinion if needed and an uncanny way of knowing just when a good time to have a long sit down chat. I have to say she knows me more than any of my other friends. It’s an appreciation for her insights on life and giving examples with her experiences along the way. It’s a breath of fresh air to have a semi adult conversation without someone interrupting you or wanting to be silly.
On the flip side of the card I try and do the same for her, listening to her stories about the guys in her life. How she misses being home with her family, where she sees herself in 5 years – that makes me snicker at times. She’s independent, a non whiner, drama free and set in her ways. She has a back bone and will tell you like it is in a minute, I can come to her and say something and she tells me flat out that I’m being silly.
I guess this is my “Thank you” for being there for me in the ADHD times and putting me in my place when it was needed. Telling its always best to stick to my guns and backing me up when I need it.
Oh yeah, Happy semi Birthday you!
