Two years ago a special person in my life moved here from Connecticut. Within those two years I met my best friend, Tailiamar better known as Tali. Let me start off with that our friendship was instant, it was super easy to become friends with her. Normally for me it takes awhile to fully be comfortable with someone to reach any in depth friendships but with Tali it took about a few weeks maybe a month. The beginning of our friendship was so easy and comfortable that it also felt welcoming. It's like it was destined for her to come into my life. It's as if God had a plan for her to not only to move to Orlando, FL from Connecticut but to also apply at my job and meet me. Little did each of us knew that we both would have so much in common that the next few months now to a year of friendship that we'd be so close that we are like family. At the time we would act like we've known each other all of our lives because of how comfortable we are around each other that some people would ask us how long we've known each other and we would respond saying a few months and they would be surprised. For the sort time we've been friends I can guarantee I've never been so comfortable to act like an idiot in public with someone because it takes so long to fully be yourself around another individual but with Tali it's super different.
We both connected so well especially with our moms stories. We both are here to take a care of our moms and around the time I met Tali my mom was still battling with Cancer. So having meeting her was the support that I really needed because she was going through something similar and to have some one to talk to and let out your frustration with it's a great feeling. With that being said we've had moments where we let out our anger and our sadness. We've cried and ate pizza at the same time in our many car dates. To me going through many emotions with Tali, is where our friendship only got that much stronger which is so rare for the both of us because not many people see that side of each other not only that some feel embarrassed about sharing that type of emotions with anyone. When you have that connection with someone that you can sit and cry, and talk about everything I think it's so important in a friendship. In that instant I knew this was going to be a friendship that it wouldn't be like my past friendships. It's going to be one that we will grow old together sitting in our porches telling our crazy youth stories to all of our future grandchildren. They'll probably be all of mine because Tali doesn't like kids all that much.
Something about Tali she is probably the craziest person I have ever met for sure. Crazy in a good way though. She has a very welcoming personality, she will go up to you and strike a conversation. She will dance like no ones watching everywhere and people do watch and laugh and she laughs right back. Her smile and laugh lights up a whole room. She loves making people laugh, she cares so much and gives so much. That some take her for granted and honestly I dislike those people because she doesn't deserve that. If you ever needed anything and you asked her she wouldn't think twice she will find a way to help you no matter what it is. She's extremely loyal and reliable. She's warm, kind, sensitive, and understanding. She's definitely one of those people you meet or see in your life and you wish to have a friendship with them because you just love how they are and express themselves. I always wanted to find someone that takes me out of my comfort zone and just helps me have adventures and tell stories with and doesn't judge you for any little mistakes you've made in the past. I mean we grill each other for little things here and there but we don't hold it against each other. Friendships like that you don't want to ever let go and you shouldn't! Don't let go because these types of people are just super rare to come by.
Tali has a very stronger demeanor, she grew up around some strong personalities in her life which gives her that balance to get serious and to deal with things accordingly and also strive to accomplish anything and everything. Sometimes you can feel intimidated by her, I will be honest I've had that feeling sometimes but she's definitely someone you can strive with.
Not too long ago Tali but me on the spot to describe our friendship to her and when you put me on the spot it takes me a while to come up with the correct words to say. I have captured our friendships through clips on Snap-chat and I've put them all on YouTube and that's really the only way I can truly describe our friendship. Just like the saying "Action speaks louder than words".
Honestly, those videos give me life. My videos on snap are always on point because I seem to capture the funniest, craziest moments. We also have a ship name: Nali. Nash and Tali makes Nali. She is the Lucy to my Ethel.
Tali let me grow and be more open. She helped me not to be so serious all the time and just laugh and have fun. She has done more for me than I would have ever expected her too because it comes from her heart. I call her Panda bear because she's the girl with the two toned hair, and also because she's obsessed with them. I am thankful for our for of all our car dates, all the trips to Wally World, our growing obsession with food, me yelling at her to stop drinking Pepsi and more water. Seriously that girl is addicted to Pepsi. We worked out once and that was her drink of choice. Apparently, it gives her a 'balance'. Thankful all of my almost near death experiences that she has caused me. Tali is responsible for all of them and so am I because I actually listen to her. Thankful for the times we don't have to waste some much money to have genuine fun, we both see the value for the little things. We was ask each other why we can't find boyfriends that does the things that we do. Like why don't they exist.
Tali if you see this I love you so much, our friendship means the world to me and we are destined to be friends forever and beyond. Sorry that was cheesy but that's okay we both love cheese. I am sorry this letter took so long and was semi short but I want to give you something to let you know how much I appreciate you as a person but also as my best friend. We have more than one Soul Mate in this world and you are my friendship soulmate.
