"We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason,"-Anonymous.
I believe that the people that come into our life, are there for a reason. I have been lucky to have someone in my life for the past 3 years, who has been my rock. My best friend, aka Soul-Wife, Megan has been a huge part of my life since the day we met.
A lot of people have a friend that they have known since they were kids, they grew up together, stuck together, and remained friends, but Megan and I didn't have that kind of time. We meet while working at retail job during our senior year of high school, and we clicked immediately. We had a few things in common at first and as time went on and we hung out more, we shared a lot aspects in common.
There has been a lot of temporary people in my life, but I know I will always have Megan to count on. We may go to rival colleges (Pitt vs PSU, H2P) but even with hundreds of miles between us most of the year, we still have stronger friendship than most.
Megan and I have this different and crazy kind of friendship, she puts up with a lot. She is the only person I know who would go on a two day trip to DC to go watch women's soccer and then drive home to met the US Women's National Team, without hesitation or question. Even if It means waking up at 8 am to go running in the park and dying after, Megan will be up and ready. She goes along with my random ideas and her willingness to support me just proves that she is basically my other half.
Within this last year though, Megan has been there for me more than any other person in the world, and she was my voice of reason. Even with Megan being hundreds of miles away, she knew everything going on in my life, and vice versa, so when I went through through my roughest time in my spring semester she was there every step of the way.
Like most 20-year-old girls, I was in a relationship and thought that he was "the one", little did I know how toxic this relationship was, if it wasn't for Megan I don't know if I would've gotten through it so well. Megan knew right away that my relationship was bad, and when I would call her crying about one of the many fights I had with my ex, she would listen calmly and tell me how I deserved so much more than what he offered. She answered every call, and tried to help me get through each obstacle. She was my rock, and when the relationship ended and I was "heart-broken" over him, Megan was there helping me, cheering me up, and never leaving me.
After almost three years of friendship, it feels like a lifetime that we have been friends, and I couldn't be happier with having her as my best friend, or better yet my sister. She has become such an important person in my life that I couldn't imagine my life without her. Anytime I need to talk to someone, or need to go out and do something, she is only a call or text away and will be there.
I am very blessed to have such an amazing, caring friend, and I just wanted to tell her thank you, and that I love her. I can only hope that I can be the type of friend to her that she has been to me.
A friendship like ours is life changing.
