I have gone through days without laughing. I have gone through days where I laugh so hard my stomach hurts, and I have to scram to the bathroom.
Without my colorful friends, most of my life would be spent without laughter. I wouldn't be able to share my goofy and extremely weird self with others and feel totally accepted -- my friends are just the same. Since high school, we always did weird stuff, talked about weird things, etc. I know a lot of people will agree with me that it is better to be weird than normal, yet I do not showcase my weirdness for all the world to see. I have always been able to with my pals, though.
Despite being very much an introvert, I love spending time with my gals. We can sit down and spit some true realness with each other, but a lot of the time, we just have fun. We can do this by having a totally chillaxing night just hanging out, or we can do it going out, where none of our silliness goes away because we are all with each other. As much as I relish my alone time, the love I have for my friends causes me to finally want to be around people again.
I have gone from shutting myself in my own room to nearly being kicked out by my friends because I would rather spend my time with them. There is something really very special between female friends. We are the same, yet completely different, but our dynamics don't hurt the relationship, they only add to them. We like different things, we do different things, and we think differently, yet we are all open-minded.
The way we go back and forth between each other shows just how close we are. We are quick to bust each other's chops without feelings getting hurt. First of all, we pick fun at harmless things. Second of all, we have an unspoken policy stating that the more we make fun of you, the more we love you and feel closer to you. I would not doubt if an outsider to our friendships would think we genuinely bicker and are mean. Don't worry, we're just expressing our utmost love for one another.
Right now, I can honestly say I would be nowhere without my gals. I think life would be unbearable. They are my rocks. They are my comic reliefs. My friends mean everything to me, and I have so much love in my heart for them until I take my last breath.
