slip onto your emotional body like perfectly tailored dress,
nothing to “grow into” simply a place to be.
comfortable

roomy
but snug

August 7th, 2009 at 7:12 amI understand what you mean.
I married my very best friend, been best buds for about a decade before crossing that line. Be 7 years in December!
But I love my best friend (who isn’t my hubby
) She’s just the best. I can go..“Well I feel like…” do a hand gesture “You know?”
And she’ll understand me 100%.
I love her. It’s more then friendship love or romantic love. I just.. don’t know why but “Best Friend” isn’t even a proper title for her. We go beyond friendship, beyond family. It’s indescribable.

August 7th, 2009 at 10:07 amI love my friends too. I always say, I don’t need a man but, I do need my friends. I’ve got one best friend in Belgium and female friends across the world. Some days it is really hard that they live so far away. I hope that I’ll be able to see my dearest friends often throughout my life. I hope to make a trip every year.
My friends make me feel ‘me’, loved and appreciated, they make me feel I matter and that I do make a difference in their lives too.
I’m happy you’ve got a best friend too.

Beautiful poem, very strong from the heart, your friend would be a fool not to love a women like you. Although I don’t think a perfectly tailored dress can capture the beauty of your body. Always ummmlu

August 7th, 2009 at 3:02 pmAwww I love this topic!!!! I consider my best friend as my soul mate, the couple thing has nothing to do here because my best friend is a she and I’m a she too.
She’s my other half, my everything, and I missed her like hell, she’s in Peru and I’m in Spain, we always call each other, and plan on meeting again, our friendship is growing more and more.
She’s the support I have to keep going, she’s now like part f my family. I thank God to have a friend like her.Hope you have an amazing day Allison!!

Jade Ruby Says:
August 7th, 2009 at 5:31 pmTo dream of eternity is my goal,
To picture infinity is what I want.
The mind is endless and far-reaching,
The hum of the stars can be heard
With the speed of light,
The speed of thought,
The speed of–
Darkness speckled with black
Surrounds me.
Darker than the blackest black,
Dark as the complete absence
Of light; a wish.
Music enters my mind.
The music of infinite beauty,
The music of galaxies moving
Swiftly through
To share the nothingness of
A single proton.
Maybe a full hydrogen atom.
Or with you,
Maybe just empty black universe
My love,
And I. -

August 7th, 2009 at 6:53 pmThere can be times when the only thing going well is the fact you have a friend, a best friend. they are truly priceless. It’s funny someone takes a intrest in you and is kind and loving to you and you grow so attached, so touched by there thoughtful actions and words, they truely care for you and you them, whats funny is that you care so much for this person they could never realize just how much you care for them and how strongly you care, your almost afraid to tell them because it might werid them out lol. there not family but you love them more than family, werid uh? not really. I have a friend like that and it makes me so happy. I love being with that person.
thanks allison,
a short but wonderful blog,

August 7th, 2009 at 10:30 pmHi Allison
Beautiful poem, A best friend who knows how to listen, discuss and support without asking anything in return is something precious.
When I think of best friends, I think of Clark and Chloe. In the episode Infamous, Chloe is really perfect best friend to Clark. She said hers concerns on the divulgation of his powers, talks with him, accepted his decision and subsequently supports and helps him.
Support and help after someone has made a decision that you think poor is extraordinary. Have the courage to say and not be complacent is shown great friendship.
Paul McCartney in a recent interview after a show in Halifax said that it remain a simple human being with his family and friends. When they saw that I had lost both feet on the ground, they brought me back to the right path.
He said the important thing is to differentiate the real that are generally few and mostly to have the humility and wisdom to listen.
Good night Allison.
Have an happy weekend.

most of us went our seperate ways and lost contact

“Aside from Him there is no other person that fits, or wears that title for me.”Mayhaps some consider you in that way?
I struggle with this as well. However, I think that your choice of words is very apt. If He wears that title, then we are all your best friend; though some of us are more trustworthy than others. (Lev 19:18, Luke 10:27) -

August 9th, 2009 at 5:43 amyes. there’s something so precious and needful and comfortable in the friendships of women. I am so thankful for an awesome husband. He’s just what I need. But no matter how old you get or where life leads, we need our best friends. I’m also thankful for my dearest kindred.

“there’s something so precious and needful and comfortable in the friendships of women.”It is a scientific fact that both men and women, prefer the friendships of women. At least as how females have been socialized in Western culture so far.

August 9th, 2009 at 10:30 amI am intrigued by how relationships within a show like yours (smallville) could possibly develop, and maybe blossom into great friendships….after so many years together, it would be nice if your poem was actually inspired by the kinship with those from the show???

There is one person I suppose that is very close that could wear that for me, but Jesus is and truly holds that place for me. He’s the only one that knows me as I am and still loves me.:-)

August 9th, 2009 at 11:14 pmHi Allison.
Yesterday I watched the film Mr Yes. This is the story of a man that his wife has lefted and closes on himself at the point of no longer being able to live in society. An old friend suggested him to go to the convention Yes.
He finds himself in a room full of people converted to goods made yes. The spiritual leader of yes is revered by the disciples. The leader convinces Carl to say yes to every opportunity and if it does not there will be consequences. Carl has been brainwashed and programmed to say Yes.
The benefits come quickly, but Carl follows the program to the letter and forget to think by himself, forgetting its values and then the disaster. Even his friends took advantage of him.
After a car accident with the Rolls Royce of the spiritual leader where they almost lose their lives, the leader told him he should not do anything. The leader was very rich because when he asked for money, the faithful could not say no. They had to show to others that they believed.
Many people need to believe in something. If in addition they are promised a life more fulfilling and rich, then they cease to think and dive.
Carl had no real friends to temper his enthusiasm. They took advantage of him.This film reminded me that I am often the willful blindness to continue to believe in things that are the opposite of my values.
The film sends a message full of humanity and I hope it will save friendships, careers, families and lives.
We must not forget that for every victim, there is also his family and freinds who are also hurted.I think the real humanitarian need to fight against this kind of organization that does not respect the human values to make money.
What breaks my heart is to think of all the victims who can not get out without consequences because all their friends and best friends are part of the group.
A major challenge in our society is the lack of humanity. The fraud of 50 billion by Bernard Madoff was orchestrated by someone who was regarded as a model and an inspiring person. It is dismaying to see that people agree to be manipulated and then manipulate others.I think that is the wish of the Dalai Lama that every human being is respected and that we live with the objective of honesty and transparency.
He will be at Vancouver in september with the Nobel peace laureates Archbishop Desmond Tutu.Conclusion: A humanitarian project has to be 100% transparent. No tolerance for half truths and rumors.
This causes an incredible harm to humanitarian movement as a whole. Have the honesty to do what it promises.
Allison, I can not wait to hear from your film Marilyn who seem to speak of redemption and great friendship.
Have a good week.

Raquel Emanuele Says:
August 11th, 2009 at 7:44 amHey, Allison, you’re an amazing girl and I think it is a super friendly too. Well, I am not anyone tell you something, but I think the secret is you have a friend is never expected anything of him, or any relationship. After all, love and affection are given, then there is no return, or at least we should not think so and think that our friends have to obey the rule of “give and take” …
Friend is one that comes when your world collapses and you do not know which way to follow and then he tells you that wherever you go, it will close. If you have two important things in life is friendship and love, pity that now people are concerned more with material things and forget the spiritual. We were made for love!xoxo

August 20th, 2009 at 1:39 pmQuestion Allison – what happens if your best friend has cut you out of their life after having a heart attack, so now i dont have a best friend.

Electra Says:
August 22nd, 2009 at 3:00 amHi connectionsman,
Well, that’s really sad. However, a lot of people who had and survived a heart attack change their life completely. Don’t ask me why, but I hear this quite often. As far as I know are there several reasons why these changes occur. One is because those people think they’ve missed something they want to do before they die. Another reason is that some of them think that they’ve gone for the wrong things with the wrong people. It can be quite unfair for the family and friends. I know this may sound quite odd now, but this behaviour after a heart attack is “normal”. Maybe you ask your formerly best friend about the reason he or she let your friendship die. Be this as it may, I’m sure you’ll find a new best friend one day.
Best wishes,
Electra -

———————————————-
I think we all have a knowing about when to let go- it’s when we prolong it and drag our feet about it, that change no longer is an exciting moment of opportunity, but a bittersweet resentment/regret for everyone involved.It’s better to embrace change when you feel the transition, than to miss the opportunity to run free! (with no regrets for anyone involved- just sweet memories)

October 17th, 2009 at 6:42 amHey Allison!
That was a very sweet expression the love best friends share. I have recently lost my best friend. Don’t worry, I did not lose her because of anything physical. As the song goes, I lost her to “The doubts that complicate her mind”. Right on the cusp of our engagement. I have been with her for some time, and she realized she needed to find herself before committing to us. I guess it was a good thing. I have been on my own journey for some time since I walked away from “the business”. For those of you who do not have a passion for the performing arts, it’s like seeing an athlete in the olympics who wins, and then wanders around looking for what to do now. Now that I am on my way back, I see it will be a journey for both of us, but a journey we must take. The thing about best friends is that even when you are apart and missing them, they are Always there. I am there for all of my friends, and especially for Jackie. I count you all as my friends, and so will be here for you all as well. Allison…. well that goes without saying…. Duh!
