Reminiscing the Desperate Days
After a long time I met my two college sweethearts today. Catching up on all that we missed out - the gossips, weddings, break ups, jobs, life and hurt, was the best part. Oh how I missed all that! We screamed and giggled like no one watched and for a while we were back to college. We became the three best friends who laughed and snorted over all life's happenings and the feeling was sublime.
"We can't believe you're getting hitched, Lidiya!!", Steff and Ann screamed in unison. Yeah well it came as a bit of a surprise to myself, to be honest. As a college girl I would wear the exact same tee shirt four times a week. I wore dirty jeans, did my hair up (every day was a bad-hair-day), and snorted when I laughed (not like I don't do it anymore!). I was the exact opposite of what an ideal girl would be and started developing saggy breasts to add to my despair and already sagging life. The three of us almost signed a deal saying we would all end up together. Single and sorry.
Its been two years since the deal and come January, I'll be marrying the man of my life. I have no idea how things panned out. I just know it was meant to be and somewhere in Universe's bigger picture, He saw me with a man who could love me for the used tees, saggy breasts, ugly morning face and loud belches.
Ann is doing what she's best at - baking. She bakes the best cakes and cookies in the world. As for Steff, she's a hot corporate woman and is aiming for things higher and better.
As I reminisce our great times together, I see three great friends dreaming of being happy in life, essentially and desperately through the arrival of their Prince Charming. But coming back to what is now, I see three happy women, happy for what they've achieved, with or without a man and I cannot be prouder. From dreamy teenagers to strong young women, we have evolved a great deal and life calls out to us with more surprises and adventures in store. Another couple of years and we will probably have kids to talk about. But who knows, we might rock leather pants and a baby on our hip!
I'm thankful for this oh-so-beautiful relation called friendship! To many more years of love and lame jokes, here's to us!
