Another Month ending...

On the upside of things, it's getting closer to the summertime and who doesn't like the summertime?

Downside, every end of the month is a reminder that rent is due, electricity, water, phone bill....ugh. It's the never-ending cycle of money being taken out of your bank account rendering your end of the month paycheck useless, really (well, it pays the bills but that's all).

"A tribute to a friend, my best friend"

Do you have a friend so close that she/he practically becomes family and integrated into your family- with mom, dad and siblings? A friend who you know you'll never lose no matter how far away you are from each other and no matter how many years pass without seeing one another? I do. My best friend, sister, Rawan.

It had been 2 years since I last saw her, yet when I met up with her in Amman it felt like we had just seen each other. No awkwardness. No fakeness. Just pure excitement and joy to finally be physically in front of each other and talking face to face. It was great. And although short-lived, 3 days, they were by far the best in 2010 so far.

She is probably the only person who knows intricate details of my life and definitely one of a few people I trust with anything. What I respect about our friendship is that we both have a "what you see is what you get" attitude and if I have something negative to say about her or a problem with her, I tell her straight up as does she with me. And you can't ask for anything better than that. We've been friends since we were 12 years old- so that's 12 years for you. Granted we've definitely had our ups and downs and at one point of my life I recall us being enemies to the point where we would not even say hello to one another. But that's High school drama for you. In College we practically lived with each other- roommates in my own house, heh. It was amazing. Someone who was and always will be on the same level as I am in every respect- boys, education, work, fun all of it. I love my best friend, Rawan more than words can explain. Being able to re-connect with her in person after a couple of years was a great refresher and my visit only highlighted for me how true a friend she is and how I honestly cannot live without her in my life (not only because she knows all my secrets hehe).

I also included a picture of the both of us in Amman at a club just doing our thing. :)
