My Four Leaf Clover

I have kept a blog for a very long time. It has always been an outlet of words and feelings trying to get out to the world in hopes that maybe someone else feels like I do. About getting the words out before they strangle me. In the past few years I've grown up so much. I've grown from a silly seventeen year old dreamer into a logical twenty-two year old woman. I've had two very prominent heartbreaks and have learned countless important lessons. It seems lately I've been writing about sadness, anger, and betrayal. However tonight I'm changing the tune.
I realize I've written about many people. Many having significant and lengthy entries. Except one:

Amanda Sue this is one for you:

"A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have." - Unknown

This amazing young woman has been a part of my life since I was eleven years old and the one person that knows me to the core. She is the one person I trust with my life and my secrets. I could never lie to her because A) She knows me too well. B) I would break her heart. C) I have no reason to lie to her (even when it hurts). On this week of thanks for Veteran's I want to dedicate this entire entry to her, my veteran.

Amanda and I have been warriors on this earth together for such a long time. We survived the battlefields of middle school, high school, and college. We've kept our heads held up high and mended the wounds of war. Healed the broken hearts, carried each other through the hardest times of loss and encouraged each other to be our best when we have lost our will. I have said it numerous times, but she is the true definitions of a best friend and the best relationship I may ever have. Our friendship is epic with the rarity of a shooting star. In the coming years I don't know exactly what will happen, but I do know we will face it together. I miss her everyday and i want to thank her from the bottom of my heart. Like a marine she has never left me behind. She has been my crying shoulder, my ear to lend , and my hero.

Over the years so many people have come into our lives only to leave scars, but our friendship has withstood haters, liars, and cheaters. With secret codes, stories of dream boys, inside jokes, and faux swearwords we have overcame the world. Since I know she will eventually read this I want to take this portion to tell her thanks.

My Dearest Amanda,

I love you like a fat kid loves cake! You are always the first person I think about when I wake up in the morning and the last person on my mind as I fall asleep. Every last moment with you is a memory in the making. So many 'stupid bitches' and evil bassbowls have tried to defeat us. So many years we've lived and loved. SO many people we've gained and lost. You are an always constant, a sun in a galaxy. The most beautiful person I could meet inside and out. I wish you could always see yourself the way I do. You are inspiring and you deserve everything you get. I've had the time of my life slaying dragons with you as your best friend. Thank you for always being there for me.

Love Always, Bri
PS: You will always be my four leaf clover.
