One of my favorite movies when I was little was (and still is) Anne of Green Gables. The whole idea of Anne being a misfit with life testing her and overcoming it all with grace and dignity was such a inspiration to me. I always wondered what it would be like to be like her and have a "Diana" in my life that I knew right away was someone I was meant to be friends with. No backstabbing, lying, or self consciousness just the purity of friendship at it's finest. I wasn't sure if I'd ever truly have such a relationship and left it at that.
Last year during my blogging endeavor I met someone and right away we knew. She was the friend who was the "me" living another life some where else in the world. The longer we talked the more we found out exactly how similar our lives have been. It actually is SO much so that it freaked us out for a while. Everything from the way we behave right down to the crappy parenting that resulted in us raising ourselves. We have differences but they are few in comparison.
I haven't really said this before but I am SO relieved and thankful to finally have a true kindred spirit in my life. She's someone I know that I can call and she'll know exactly what I'm talking about and how I'm feeling. More times then not, we are on the same wavelength and we hardly have to explain in detail what's going on. We've been friends for almost a year now and it seems like we've known each other our entire lives. I just wanted to take this moment to say "thank you" and let everyone know not to take people for granted. They are there for a reason.
