To my friends. ~ MK

I wanted to devote a post to my friends. Not any or a friend in particular but all and each of them because all of them, on their own way, have added sugar, love and energy to my days and without their worth-listening teachings/advices, I don't know how I would have coped with some difficult situations of my life. So, dear friends, this is for you. I love you all, very much.
It wouldn't be fair if I didn't kick off this post by highlighting my oldest, weirdest friend of all times and ever since I've known myself as a person - my older sister: Kika. It's obvious that we share a deeper connection because we've always been together and been through the same stuff. And it is also obvious that the bonds of sisterhood are fed by tons of love we feel for each other. But it doesn't end here because we, above all are friends. I've never been able to hide anything from her and that sucks. Truly sucks because sometimes, as any other person, I just want to keep stuff to myself and I can't. She has this 'I-know-what-you-are-thinking' look that always disarms me. She is really sincere and has really strong opinions on everything and everyone. Thereby I'm always really afraid of telling her sttuff because I know how crucial her opinion is to me. She's not one to judge people but if she doesn't like you, for a strong reason, you will be able to tell because she will tell you, on your face, anywhere, anytime. She's really that kind of person and everyone, including me, loves her for that. I know she will never lie to me, not even to make me happy. And I undoubedtely treasure that honesty. So, that is what she has taught me my entire life, bloggers - to not be afraid of being myself and to always choose truth over anything and regardless of any consequences that may come with it.
Moving on to my best friend. People ask me several times questions such as:
1. How can you be best friends with a guy?
2. Don't you feel uncomfortable telling him some personal things?
3. Have your friendship with him never developed or went in a more romantic path? It happens to everyone.
Well, to all of these questions and depending on who's asking, I usually reply with "he's a great guy and we get along very well, so it is quite easy to be best friends with him" to the people I know and like and to everyone else, I just send my "it's-none-of-your-business" look.
If you're a follower, you may have noticed already but my latest post, back on Aug 28th was about him. So if you're interested, you might want to have a quick look at it: http://mk-galhardo.blogspot.pt/2013/08/to-my-person.html to see how important he is to me and how deep our connection is today.
He also taught me a lot as my sister. Not only knowledgeable stuff (he's really bright) mostly confidence. He isn't confident all the time and I know that because I know him. But whenever he's put in a evaluation, whatever it is, you will see his confidence sparkling. You will see him aware of his value as a person and projecting his magnificient potential on whatever he's doing. And I truly envy him for that. He's a role model for me and I really love him and I don't think I can quite say it enough times.
Oh, there's one thing that annoys me truly about him and it isn't really his fault. It's the fact that he's handsome and has always desperate ladies sniffing around him. I mean, I don't mind. I want him to be happy, above all but I honestly think he should pick one and stick with her ;)
I'm finishing up this post by talking about my longest friendship after the one I have with my sister. My one, only and loveliest friend Nini. Oh gosh, I've met Nini when I was only 10 years old and we have been friends ever since. It has been almost 10 years of crazy friendship, can you believe that? We were kids back then!
I still miss that time. Anywho, today, we're the kind of friends who don't need to talk to or see each everyday. I like it because it has come to really solid stage where we just cherish and support each other no matter what, where or when. And whenever we have the opportunity to be together, it seems like we have never stopped talking or seeing each other. Like the old times. Sisters from different mothers, as we used to say.

I have more friends, happily. But I wanted to underline this top three because they're my family and a blessing I have God to thank to.

Love always,
Tommy
