Oceans apart, day after day,
As I slowly go insane.
I hear your voice on the line,
But it doesn't stop the pain. -Richard Marx

Best friends forever?
A promise which is most often made very easily.
But is it REALLY that simple? Huh! Of course not.
So, who is a 'BFF' really?
Someone with whom you can giggle about nothing with? Someone whom you can tell your GROSSEST and DEEPEST secrets and feel safe enough? Someone who gives you a VERY honest (sometimes more honest than what you'd like)opinion about how you look?
Well, yes plus a bit more.
But what if your BFF is not in the same city? Or even worse, in the same country? What do you do then?
Let us take MY example. My BEST friend who is almost like a sister to me, no, actually more- lives in Timbuktu. :|
Okay, fine, not in Timbuktu really- but yeah! In Qatar. Okay I know, Qatar's all developed and all, and is REALLY beautiful (Huh! I've heard enough of that, trust me.) but it stole away my best friend. Now, I just get to see her ONCE in a year. And it is one of the awful-est things that has ever happened to me.
Now, not only am I insecure and jealous when she talks to her other friends,(though deep down I know I hold too much of a special place) but also do I feel super lonely when I fight with my *usually perfect* boyfriend, get bad grades in Math, during 'the days of the month' and also on special occasions around the year- my birthday, getting a good grade in English, getting a good many followers on my blog. But then, I have been reassured enough number of times that I am just a Facebook inbox away from her. And true, in the end it's HER I go to crying and asking for URGENT advice. Although her advices suck just as much as she does; I love her. (No, no! Don't get it wrong!)
So, in this complete thesis on my friendship with my BFF, I come to the conclusion that friendship isn't just being together physically. It's being together with each other emotionally through thick and thin. It's about being there.
It's about P.M. (My BFF) and me. :)

'When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. -Henri Nouwen'
Even though we're 2565.80 km away from each other, we just EXACTLY know how the other's brain works. There our times when we don't get to talk for days or weeks or also months together at times; but our friendship? Our friendship doesn't change an inch. We are still as idiotic when we talk and don't seem to run out of topics."I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. -Robert Brault"
