For as long as i can remember...my friends have always ment alot to me. I think your friends are the family that you choose. Through out the years many friends have been and gone but one has always been there, Liv. She has been there for me through good and bad. That doesnt mean that we don't fall out occationally because believe me we do. I put that down to the fact that we have two very different life styles, views and oppinions..We have been friends all the way through infant, juniour, senior school and college...and i can honestly say i don't think our friendship will ever end.
Liv's way of doing what she thought was right, was to try and perswade me not to go to America in her own way, purely i think as she may have thought she was going to be loosing a best friend; but i knew that would never be the case. Againts all the odds i left, and we still talk (and when i say talk i mean talk for England) every week on the phone.
I have three other very close friends, that were supportive of me leaving them behind and taking a chance with a fresh start. I feel that they all knew that although i am leaving them in person i will always be thinking about them and remembering all the great times we have spent together.
It diddnt happen as often as it used to but when we did all get together and we would all get a phone call that sounded abit like "claires at 7oclock" i used to smile widely as i knew full well that we would have a girls night inthat i would never forget. And these nights have always been playing in the back of my mind as i knew i was going to miss them alot. We would sit and eat untill we couldnt eat no more after bickering over what chinnease to order, and we would drink cup after cup of Tea. We would watch movies that would make us cry with tears of sadness and some that would make us cry with tears of laughter. But the honest truth is we diddnt need a movie to make us cry of laughter. When us girls were in each others company and not in the public eye the jokes and stories would come out. And we did not hold back. The conversations and the topics that we discussed in that living room were not for the ears of any one other than us...even the boyfriends were never to know.
These nights got fewer but never stopped..two out of the four of us have beautifull children one being my precious God child Lucas...and all of our our lifes were both demanding and time consuming. But we did always still make an effort, even if on a saturday night we no longer went clubbing out on the town and we stayed in together with the children infront of the TV with a bottle of wine, i could still guarentee a good night. It is true "girls just wanna have fun". I have been thinking alot recently that by the time i return home from America, i hope our friendships will be alot like it was before. But i know as much as i want to i can not put the rest of the world on hold for a couple of years whilst i am traveling and having the time of my life.
