I was discussing with a friend our past relationships, and she, herself, is encountering an issue with liking a best friend and he kissed her on new year's. Seems to be the time for it, I said to her wryly.
She's worried, with good reason, about if things go wrong. She said, I've seen what happened, and I told her, she has to see for herself if she wants to take that chance. Yes, I said, you might lose a lot, but I still think it's worth the risk. Plus, I reminded her, while what happened happened with me, and she watched another best friend couple date and it ended poorly, when it was good, it was the absolute most amazing thing you could feel.
You already know each other so: the flaws, the problems, the good, the bad, the past. There's something easy about it, and they make you feel so flawless, so confident, and even beautiful, and it's fun because the transition is not so bad. That's how I feel, anyway, though she has to decide for herself. I said take it for what it is and don't rush it, is what I recommended, so she can figure it out. We're only 23.
I hope it works for her, whatever she decides, as long as she's happy.
It was sweet, she noted, "You guys always looked great and happy together, even when things were not." Maybe it's just an outsider view, but it's nice to think so, I think the history makes it work with ease, even if it's not. It's an effortless comfort.
And all the things echo in my mind. Imagine years?
best of times,
