My Capricorn

There are so few people in my life that I feel I can actually depend on, that I can count them on my fingers. Three people, as a matter of fact. I'll admit, my relationships with them are mostly due to my selfishness. They're reliable, solid, they're home when everything in my life is chaotic. I know I can talk to them about anything, no matter what. They give me strength, and in return, I try to keep them happy. It's the least I can do, right? All three of these people are also totally different- one of them is gentle and capable of sympathy and kindness I can't even imagine being capable of. Another is strong, yet sensible. She's rational, but always knows how to temper that with a very big heart. The last (yet certainly not least) is strong, stubborn, and blunt. We can have the biggest fights, but in an hour or two, we both forgot about them completely.

This blog isn't about all three of them, though. It's about one in particular. Right now, she's probably the biggest influence in my life. She's my best friend, my roommate, my Capricorn. She's struggled through things I can't even imagine, yet has come out stronger and the better for it. She's not quite my opposite, but we're definitley very different people. I'm loud, and obnoxious, while she's quiet until given reason to raise her voice. I'm terrible with money, while she can be her own personal banker. If I'm chaos, she's order.

She looks out for me, though, without being patronizing about it. I like to drink, and party, and she'll never tell me I can't do it, but she'll let me know it's probably not the best idea when it isn't. She's not a wetblanket, though- she knows how to have fun, and when I'm with her, even when we don't really have anything to do, we have a blast. She puts up with me on a regular basis, which I'm pretty sure I wouldn't beable to do, if I had a double/clone/whatever. She knows my faults, and she embraces them, as I do hers. Our friendship is probably the closest thing to perfect, if there exists such a thing.

She can be critical. She can be stubborn. She can be petty. But she's always amazing, and she's always beautiful.

She's my Capricorn. <3
