She's My Person.

 "She's my person. If i murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person." - Cristina Yang on Meredith Grey 

Everyone has a person, it's the best friend that you have ever had. The person you call after something really great or not so great happens. It's the person you could see everyday and literally never get tired of seeing. I have a person like that, and she's everything I wish I was. She's my person, my best friend, my unofficial second sister. 

 

Her name is Danielle and you know her or you don't. I'm just lucky enough to feel like I've never known anyone better and no one has ever known me better. I've known Dani for 6 years, we have been the best of friends and almost inseparable for 3 of those very quick years. She's been in my life through everything, she watched me walk the stage when I graduated High School, she's my date to many occasions, she was the one I was with when I almost had an accident at Wal-Mart, she's my go to person for everything.

When I met Dani 6 years ago it was in our Keyboarding class and we sat right next to each other. By the way, we both totally blew at keyboarding. I remember very few things about that year but a highlight was when she got me skittles for my birthday, random and unimportant thought.

 

The reason I am blogging about this girl that I adore so much is because I had a conversation with a friend about what defines a soul mate. Well my opinion, your 'love of your life' doesn't have to be your only soul mate. It's someone who gets you, someone who sees all the good things in you when all you see is the bad. Someone who can finish your sentences and know what you're thinking with just a look. They can telepathically communicate with you, they appreciate your obsession with aliens and time travel. They don't make fun of you and give you a hard time when they have every right to. A soul mate is your person, and Danielle is mine. 

 She's my Rachel to my Monica. My Grey to my Yang. Peanut butter to my jelly, bow to my tie. You get it. But who are we without these people in our lives? I don't really know, because if you ask me what I would do without my best friend I wouldn't have an answer. I talk to her every day and yeah, I majorly rely on her. That's what best friends are for though, they are there to give your trust back in someone. To believe there is a happy side to things, to remind you that although you may be totally stupid sometimes that you are in fact still loved.  You are always going to have those people who you consider your best group of friends and trust me I have that and that entry is saved for another day. But then in your life you are going to have one person who you consider the best friend you have ever had, I am so happy to say that I have that.

 

Dear Danielle, first and foremost thank you for being my unbiological sister and for allowing your family to be my family and for believing in my when I don't even believe in myself. I just want you to know that through everything I have ever been through I never thought I would find someone who would be there for me through it all the way you have been. Everyone I know sees you as the same way, someone they can go to and someone who will support them. I don't think you have ever seen yourself as seriously wonderful as you really are, but you're more wonderful then you will ever know. You've helped so many people and have changed so many lives. Your heart is everything I wish mine was and you have the biggest influence on me when it comes to my faith and living my life. You are nothing but supportive of absolutely everything I do, every dumb and crazy absurd idea I have and there was never a point where you sat there and laughed at me like so many people do. You're going to do more amazing things then you know and I have every intention of being there right next to you and observing your life from the side lines. Thank you for being my therapist and my #1 fan. Twenty years from now, I am going to look back and remember that you were that one person who could turn every frown into a smile in a few simple words; the person who lifted my head when I began to lose faith in myself. I love you and you're my person.
