My Soulmate....

Tasha has pretty much held the place as my official "Besterest Friend" for the past 12 years. She is the first person I turn to when my world is crumbling and also the first one I want to talk to when something good is happening. Her and I met over math homework when I was in the 6th grade. My mom asked her to try and help me with my fractions, but all she ended up doing was sitting next to me, staring at my homework then looking at me, and asking if I would rather go outside and play. It was the beginning of what I consider the best friendship I will ever have.

When my parents split up she was there for me. She listened to me when I needed someone to talk to and she lent me a shoulder to cry on whenever I needed it, and she always knows just what to do to make me smile and laugh. When Rocky and I broke up she offered me a place to get away. So I packed up my bag and drove 7 hours to spend the hardest time of my life with her. My dad told me I was being irresponsible for taking the trip since at the time I didn't have 10 dollars to my name. but what he didn't understand is that I needed her. I was in such a bad place after Rocky broke my heart that I honestly didn't know if I could survive, and I needed her to ease some of my pain. I needed to see her face and have her hug me so that I knew everything was going to be okay and that I could make it out alive.

I moved away from her after only knowing her for 2 years, and from experience alone I figured she would be like all my other best friends that would write for a bit then basically drop off the face of the Earth, But Tasha was different; she put just as much effort into the friendship as I did, and what came out of it was hundreds of thousands of phone conversations, a ton of letters, and multiple trips to see eachother. It seemed like the distance brought us closer some how. To this day I consider her to be my best friend, my sister, my soulmate, and I wouldn't know how to survive without her!

"Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along." - Bride Wars
