Okay. This isn't an inspirational post. But its a post about 2 people who inspired me. 2 people who have in the course of 3 years come to mean the world to me. 2 people who laughed with me through the good times and picked me up during the bad. 2 people who dared to trust me despite having built walls that touch the sky. It is said, that wearing your heart on your sleeve isn't always a very good idea. But these 2, they took a chance and put their hearts out there. And I highly doubt they'll ever regret it. These 2 people, they were like angels. Angels that showed me how to live and led me to believe. Believe in love, believe in forgiveness and believe in hope.
The first angel was with me for 8 years. But I failed to acknowledge her presence. She watched over me from a distance. Admiring, marveling at the girl I was. She wanted to reach out to me, to know me. She wanted to understand me. But like most angels, she was invisible to me. Over the past three years, this angel and I have gotten so close, that a simple gesture that I make helps her understand what im feeling. Every look in my eye lets her know my hearts emotions. Every smile that I give the world, she knows it through and through. And not a day goes by where she doesn't try to cure my heart of all the pain.This angel has taught me, that I don't need to be great or beautiful or popular. I just need to be ME. And she loves that girl. The girl that I am. She always has, and I KNOW that she ALWAYS will.
The second angel was like a bonus for knowing the first. A very very good bonus. They were like a package deal. TWIN angels. Beautiful, heavenly TWIN angels. So this second angel, just like the first went unnoticed for 5 years. There was the occasional 'Hi, How are you?' but not much beyond that. From mere acquaintances to friends, to sisters, to being my conscience, my guiding light, my silver lining. This angel not only picked me up whenever I fell, but she also put me back on the right track. She never forced her opinions on me, but made me see sense. Differentiate between what was right for and me, and what I would regret. She made me believe in fairy tales. Not the storybook ones, but the ones that were based on MY reality.
Yes, these two angels know exactly what they mean to me. So whats so significant about today that I have to make it known through words written in a blog ? Nothing, except that they turn 18 today. Today, the 3rd of July, 18 years ago two wonderful human beings were born. And they have changed my life just like they've changed every other life they've touched in these 18 years. Since they're born exactly 10 days after me, I like to think that they were literally sent as guardian angels or bodyguards rather, cause God already had an idea of how messed up I would be. Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually. So they were like my anchors in every aspect. Still are. And always will be. These two girls have been so wonderful and so supportive that sometimes I wonder if I even deserve it. They aren't just friends or acquaintances. These two girls are the sisters I've never had. They are Family. Nothing will ever change that.
So, Faye and Marilyn. A very Happy Birthday! I don't need to give you'll a whole speech on chasing your dreams and never giving up, because you'll are the ones who taught it to me. But I do wish you'll all the happiness and love this life has to offer you. Please dont ever forget how much you'll mean to me. I love you both to bits. Have a wonderful 18th birthday and a smashing year ahead. :)
