Writer

I'm joining in on Lisa-Jo baker's 'Five Minute Friday'.
The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.


I have been blessed to have a best friend since... well... third grade... I think it was. This beautiful girl that had the most stunning personality. She shines in everything that she does. For some reason she allowed me to be a part of her life. I can't tell you what it means to have that one friend that no matter where you are literally or figuratively in life you can call or text and know that your understood. Your meaning not taken out of context but the true meaning of your feelings being understood. Sometimes I don't even have to say much and I get the "I know, girl, I know".

One thing about this exquisite soul is her ability to nail down words. Forming them to create the most beautifully created reading. I mean blow your mind reading. She is a writer. I'll be honest there has definitely been a few times that I've envied her talent. One of many that she has. She is an artist, not just with words but in drawing and creating beauty in everything that she touches.

I always feel like I fall short next to her. You know who Goofy is? Yeah, I typically feel like my writing next to hers is more like Goofy writing to Shakespeare. It's like that. The thing is, I keep writing. I know it's not as good as hers, I've just had to accept that through the years. I realized that when we would be writing notes back and forth and she would have this awesome note with cool sayings and pictures. All I got out was "Guhumph, I went to PE."

I don't know that I have a true point in all this. Maybe all I wanted to get out is that I have one hardcore BFF. Or maybe I just wanted to write because no matter the style or the grace everyone has a little writer in them. So keep on.
