I think this is why I call most people "Friend".. it doesn't matter to me if you're one of my best and closest friends or I've just met you the week before and had that "What! You too?" moment while chatting these past 20 minutes..
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’” – C.S. Lewis
I prolly use the term "Friend" to liberally.. I should probly use acquaintance more.. *shrug*.. I probably sound "Quaker-ish".. but I like friends.. and who's to know an aquaintance won't become one of those ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron) kinda friends? There's just something happy about being addressed as "Friend" - wouldn't you say? :D
Because of this, I also have 2 "twin-friends".. 2 girls, from totally different places. These 2 girls - whom, when we joined the respective groups where we met - became "identical" to me (for whatever reasons of the others in the groups, just kept confusing us)..
This post was suppose to be on March 1st (but because of my Souper Sunday Coma, it was delayed) in honor of our "in-be-Twin" birthday with my lovely friend Sheila! (pictured on right). March 1st is the midian of our birthdays, thus it's our "twin" birthday.. She's from Georgia, and when I met her, everyone thought I *was* her.. Thus started our twin story.. I miss her.. sad day we live so far apart..
My second twin name is Andrea.. (And yes, I realize you can't technically be twins with 2 people at the same time, unless ofc you're triplets.. but I digress.. just roll with it).. :) we met on Summer Project, and she's 2 years younger than me.. Our "mom" had a suuuuper long delivery, we joked. Same thing happened to she and I - we were constantly confused for the other while we lived together for a 2 1/2 month stent one summer.. (Picture below)
Instead of being annoyed by it, we decided it'd be best to embrace our new found "twin-ness".. Sure miss my Gorgeous friend! (cuz when you compliment your twin, you're complimenting yourself too - we were told from a true-twin.. ) ;D
So.. if I ever address you as "friend", now you'll know why.. cuz at some point, there was a moment in a conversation we had where I thought "What! You too? I thought I was the only one..)
Soli Deo Gloria
:D
