W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G

Each one of us has a person or persons that they have known for years or throughout their childhood. In other words, a best friend in which one can consider them brothers or sisters. Though not blood related, he or she can consider them an unofficial member of the family. A person can honestly say that his or her friends can describe and know you better than you ca. Yet, can you really describe your friends that he or she has known for years in deph, rather than going by the generic terminologies? Let me ask you this question: how well do you know your friends or for that matter your best friend?

Oftentimes, close friends can find something about you that one has never known before. Hidden talents that one never really wanted anyone to know about and kept secret, possibly till one reaches his or her golden ages. Sometimes, a person can have the mentality that if their friends might find out, then he or she will never hear the end of it. In reality though, they would accept it because they are your friends, but still one would be ragged on, in good fun of course. Someone once said, a person will know who his or her true friends are when one needs them the most.

The funny thing about having friends is that they can describe you in so many ways and most of the time they are correct. Other times you just have to look at each of your friends and wonder if they are just a few mcnuggets short of a happy meal. Such descriptions would be weird, funny, loyal, honest, willing to give the shirt off one's back, and much much more. One's own friends can be considered therapists, for they know you inside and out. You can talk with them about your hopes, dreams, fears, loves, and everything in between. When one wants to talk they lend an open ear without even charging a penny.

Partners in crime and running buddies, are just a couple of descriptions of duos or groups of friends. Different personalities, temperaments, ethnicities, melding into one cohesive unit. Each accepting one's quirkiness and annoying little habits that would make any other person beat the crap out of him or her. For there will be opinions and egos that will clash but that's what makes a friendship unique. Though hand to hand combat may erupt, eventually cooler heads will prevail and all will be right with the world so to speak.

For people who have known me for several years they know I have a wacky side and a serious side. I've been described as shy, quiet, deep, philosophical, an old soul, sarcastic, cynical, weird, strange, laid back, a bit temperamental, wacky, creative, goofy and if you can believe it evil all rolled into one short little package. I really don't count that last one because one of "my kids'' described me that way. In any case, a person can sometimes be truly surprised when one is described, it can either be dead on or dead wrong. We are who we are and there is no changing that, and in the end, What You See Is What You Get.
