Always My Favourite

When I saw this prompt, my dad came to my mind, but unfortunately, he is dead and not in this world, and since it said your favourite person in the world, I felt there was a need to talk about someone who is here with me and not someone dead and so she came to my mind with ease because she is indeed my favourite person in the world until otherwise. She has been my naughty favorite person for the past eight years and counting down.

There are some humans we come in contact with and you realize that the moment and time spent with them helped you reconstruct and fix your mind and life in order, you realize that there is a shift in your life, and you begin to see life differently because of those set of humans especially because of the positivity and energy that hovers around them. I met this beautiful lady eight years ago, between September and October, can not remember vividly and we began talking. Although we were church members we never had any conversation before that day I decided to initiate a conversation with her on Facebook and from there we became friends.

I can not remember why I reached out to her that faithful day but all I remember is that after that day, we became so close and have stuck together for the past eight years. At the time we both decided to be friends, we were both young and even though I was older than her, we still had our differences from time to time, of course, we are humans, so there will always be a clash of personality differences that always made us think if the friendship was worth everything.

Over the years, we've grown to know each other's strengths, flaws, and weaknesses, we've learned to adjust to each other and make excuses for each other, we've learned to sit and talk about our hurt without stress, and without being defensive especially when we are at fault, we've learned to know what the other person doesn't like and avoid doing it. We are our cheerleader and support system, and we both can attest to the other person even in their absence and not say the wrong thing.

She has become my favorite person in the world and my partner in crime, the funny thing about our friendship is that regardless of our age difference and how long we've known each other, we know boundaries and respect each other boundaries, there is never a dull moment when we are together because we always have something to talk about or discuss and deliberate upon.

I remember my first birthday with her as a friend like the back of a book, because she made me feel special, she gave me a birthday gift and attached to it a note that got me emotional. She always knew how to make me feel special on my birthdays, and she made me see the need to celebrate birthdays since I was not always big on birthdays. I have another family as an extension of being her friend and her family never treat me less, same with my family. Her home is another home for me whenever I feel like going there, always welcome and they've over the years grown to trust in me to know that she is safe around me. Whenever I see her message or text to me like the one attached to her pictures, I am always so emotional because she knows me in-depth and knows my flaws, and whatever she is saying to me, is nothing but the truth, because she is not one to patronize anyone no matter how close we are.
