So, I haven't done this in YEARS... hang on to your hats, peeps.
I really needed to vent...Tonight a former co-worker of mine (yes, she's the straight one I had a crush on... *facepalm*) tried to set me up with a friend of hers. A friend that's also a woman, who get this: 'is into other women'. *GASP*
Sorry, but WTF is it with straight people trying to set up their mutual LGBT+ friends? Like, is it impossible for them to imagine these friends not being a part of 'a couple' like they are? Gag me with a spoon, y'all. I just can't take that bullshit.
Believe it or not I like being single. I get a lot of fanfic written that way. :o) Also, I just gotta worry 'bout me, my parents, doggie and kids I work with, that way.
Not to say I don't have a social life. Because I do. A very active one online. Which is great for a person like me who's more introverted. And I have a small handful of people in the real world I truly care about as well. :o)
One of those people being my BFF. She's very much the Maya to my Riley. Not only have we known each other basically forever, but she's always got my back and vice versa. <3 She knows me as well as (if not better) than my own family. I can go to her with just about anything and I know I'll be really listened to and supported (if not always understood right away). And she has no problem with me just spacing out as needed (even if sometimes my silence worries her). She's energetic and talkative when we're together. And she's very passionate about the things she loves (like her kitties and her flowers and veggie garden).
With it being just an hour (more or less) until my birthday it figures I'm looking back on the year (and my life in general) and realizing all over again how much I love my Maya (platonically speaking). After all this time I still see her as this badass teenager in some ways and I'm floored I managed to have one of the very first people I encountered at a young age still by my side. :o) I'm a very lucky girl. <3
