Accepting Friends As They Are
I have a terrible memory. It took me a year of daily classes with my now-best friend before I remembered her first name. Twenty years later, I still have to look up how to spell both her last AND first names (her first name is Gillian and I can never remember if it has one L or two). I never remember birthdays. I forgot my own birthday one year (and my buddies will never let me forget it – grins).
My friends know this about me. They accept it. They realize that my bad memory isn’t all… well… bad. I don’t hold grudges. I forget their mistakes, their embarrassing moments, their secrets. They tell me everything, knowing I’ll forget most of it.
Cyndi, Bee’s best friend, isn’t perfect either. Cyndi is proud of her slut status. She goes home with a different man every night. When Bee ventures out with Cyndi, she knows she’ll be left alone while her best friend bounces around the event.
As shared in this snippet.
My face heats. “He promised to bring the red velvet cupcakes.”
“No way!” My friend throws herself against me. “You did not tell me that.” Every word is punctuated with a punch in the shoulder. I’ll be covered in bruises by the end of the evening. “You’ll definitely be riding a biker tonight.” She flops in the seat beside me. “You’re going to do the couple thing and leave me alone, aren’t you?” Her bottom lip curls.
“We’re not doing the couple thing.” I roll my eyes at her drama. “And I won’t leave you alone.” She’ll forget me, as usual, her focus turning to some guy she meets. A second limo chit is tucked into the bodice of my corset, along with my passcard and an emergency credit card. If things don’t work out with Hawke, I’ll make my way home alone.
Bee accepts this about Cyndi, loving her despite this quirk. She doesn’t try to change her or complain when she acts as she always does. Bee realizes that she’s not perfect either.
Do your friends accept you as you are? What are some of your quirks?
