Everyone is going away to school it seems, which is totally awesome because some of my friends are on paths that 2 or 3 years ago would have never seemed possible. On Friday, I said 'goodbye' to Alina. She has grown sooo much since when I first met her. It has been a crazy long friendship full of hateful words, tears, hugs, and lots of laughter.
I remember the first time I met this girl. She was wearing some "dark" clothing to church one Sunday. And my jaw pretty much dropped. It seemed to me this girl had no respect for herself or for the fact that others weren't as dark and crazy as she seemed to be. You could tell there was something different about her. Not only did she has piercings in places other then ears. (Which I may never understand why girls get facial piercings.) But she wore a corset to church at like 14 years old. It was odd, so immediately I didn't like her. Then one day we were over at Becky's house, and we went and got Mexican food from El Compadres. Where I got to know this "rebel child". She wasn't half bad, but I could tell we had a ton in common, which is never a good thing.
Since then, we have had plenty of arguments over nothing, and sometimes over things that we have both chosen to never touch on. But there have been plenty of laughs. Many times over movies, hanging out with friends, random conversations, odd situations, and sometimes at the expense of each other.
There are many happy moments. Like hanging out laying in the grass at a volleyball tournement after a recieved phone call of babies on the way and her needing to wait to be picked up. Even in stressful situations laughter was found.
I have seen her grow from this rough hoodlum to a beautiful young woman with morals, and value. Someone who has respect for herself as well as others. Regardless of things shes done she has proven herself to be an amazing friend. Yes there have been arguments, and many tears of frustration, but she is my sister. A girl who has always been referred to as my mini-me. And as true as that may be there were many times when it wasn't. When I would do something and she would say I did the complete opposite of what she would've done. Or vice versa. She is a sister to me in many ways, and in the most important way, a child of god. Having to deal with each other through hard times has helped us both grow.
It seems that no matter what happens we have come back together and have put our pride aside and said sorry, sometimes out of frustration, and sometimes out of need. But always sincerly. I am gonna miss her so much. She has been a rock when I couldn't be. She was the shoulder to cry on when I thought I had everything figured out. She was a challenge to be better because I saw myself in her.
Thankfully she has turned out to be an amazing young woman. I hope she does Amazingly at BYU-IDo. Hopefully she doesn't marry Adam Danger..field, because my heart would break.. but if they do date or any of that junk I'll be a happy yet sad sad cookie. :)
Well time for sleep.
