I had one such dear friend call me this morning; we pick up our conversation immediately from where it was left off a month ago. A mild crisis she is facing, I love M dearly. She has helped me through many a crisis of my own, and true to our relationship, there was laughter and tears in our short 30 minute conversation. She is a Spanish/Filipino whirlwind, so everything is just spinning nicely just waiting to unleash itself on the world. I admire her greatly, she is passionate about everything she does, one glance at her and you know exactly how she's feeling. I feel so removed from my emotions and life compared to her, she knows where she wants to be, she's just struggling to recognise the path to get there. Which is where I come in, me, the sensible, 'straight laced' girl. I'm the one who gently prods her back onto the path, gently props her up when she’s feeling like she just can’t do it alone, and hugs her and sends her off into the world until the next deviation. And she will get there, I have no doubts in my mind.
