Cheryl Cole Hairstyles
Is it just us or does celebrity hair seem to grow at a phenomenal rate? Well, this is not a superhuman skill gifted to those that make the A-list, or even the D-list, it's all down to the magic of hair extensions. Be they human hair extensions, synthetic ones or good old clip hair extensions, celebrities can't get enough of Rapunzel length locks.
Cheryl Cole's tumbling brunette tresses are courtesy of real hair extensions, the Lucinda Ellery salon being a favourite first port of call for faking length and fullness. In fact, Girls Aloud could keep the hair extension business afloat by themselves with Sarah, Cheryl, Kimberley and Nicola all choosing the best hair extensions to add glamour and variety to their styles.
They're not the only ones to opt for hair extensions to create that Hollywood babe look however. High School Musical hotties Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale have both succumbed to the allure of lengthy locks without the irritating years of waiting the rest of us have to endure.
One thing we will say about this beauty trend is that cheap hair extensions are going to look just that, cheap. Don't believe us? Then take a look through our gallery and pay particular attention to the D-listers... you have been warned.

the danger of a broken heart is not the pain.
not the tears, or anger.
not the ache, not the loneliness,
not the quiet, the empty seat, the bed now much too big.
the danger of a broken heart is what we have to repair it with.
mistrust, hopelessness, faux comfort.
independence.
the oaths we take. what we swear to ourselves.
the danger is self-reliance.
the danger is that these stitches in our heart don't fall out.
that they are there to stay.
because they must.
the danger is that we know it isn't about love anymore.
and,
it isn't about how perfect we are in our world.
it's about how perfect we are in theirs.
the danger is that two became one.
and a half of one...
well.
half is not whole.
but now we must make it so.

Elvis Presley Hairstyle
This style works best if hair is straight or has a loose curl or wave. Start with a shaped to fit style cut with full tapered sides and neckline. Front is left longer to stand full and brushed back without a part. Sideburns are sometimes full and stop at bottom of ears. Works with most face shapes.
To Get This Look This style requires a few extra styling steps to achieve the desired effects If hair is wavy-curly type. Begin by combing a dab Styling Balm through damp hair, section and blow dry to smooth surface and relax curl. When dry, brush a puff of Foaming Pomade through hair for shape, shine and frizz control
For Straight Hair, comb a puff of Gel Mousse or Spray Gel through damp hair, comb in place to air dry or blow dry and brush a puff of Foaming Pomade through for texture, shape. For high gloss and firm hold, mist with Finishing Spray and finger comb for natural look
What is the most iconic trademark regarding Elvis. The first and foremost must be the unique Elvis hairstyle. In the mid 50s Elvis had natural dishwater blonde hair with long sideburns. In the 60s his hair was styled by Hollywood and dyed jet black and without the trademark side burns. In the 70s Elvis' wore his hair longer and grew his side burns.
Recently, Elvis Presley has topped a poll of the most iconic hairstyles of all time. The King, who was blond but dyed his hair black, beat Marilyn Monroe, who came second in the survey. Third was Audrey Hepburn.

he has no idea
weheartit
I met a boy and fell for him fast. We moved fast. Everything was such a rush, everything was perfect, we were so obsessed with each other. He would tell me I was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He would say “you're amazing” every hour. Except when he said it, it wasn’t just a line, it was the truth. The truth in his eyes. But I had to leave, and I knew I couldn’t do long distance. I have too ,any whims, I’m not good at being alone, I would have strayed. So I just cut off all contact, said cruel and hurtful things, pushed him away on purpose, alienated him so that he would leave me alone. Because it hurt too much to be friends, I thought it would be better to have no contact.
I was wrong. It was the stupidest decision of my life, because I find that not knowing someone well, can make you never get over them. The truth is, I don’t know him that well. What we had was short, it was over before I had a chance to see whether we were really good together, whether he was right for me. So all this time, even while I’ve had relationships with so many other guys, I always compare the new boys to one boy who I barely even knew, and they all fall short. Because his memory is so perfect, it’s so indestructible because it’s unfinished. I didn’t have time to discover his flaws, the little quirks that annoy, the arguments that break a couple a part. I didn’t give him a chance to show me that side of himself. All I have are the memories of that new, excited feeling. Of butterflies every time his fingers brushed my arm, of electric sparks every time we kissed, because it was so new, and unexpected and amazing. I have idealized this boy to the point where he is perfect in my eyes, and because of that, I can’t be satisfied with anyone else. But I can’t go back to him either, I cut off all ties, made it clear I never wanted to talk to him. He doesn’t know I think about him every day. He probably thinks he was completely insignificant, because I lied, and told him that he was. I swore I couldn’t care less. He has no idea. And I have no idea what it would be like to really be with him, have a real relationship with him, and I have to live with the fact that it is completely my fault. For being so proud, and so presumptuous to think I would get over him in two minutes. I never thought I’d hold on this long, to a ghost of a person. To an illusion of a person, that isn’t very likely a true reflection of him anyway.
And my advice to anyone reading this is, don’t let opportunities pass you by. Don’t dismiss people without thinking about how you may feel later. Don’t end something great, just because you think it would be too inconvenient to your life to let it continue. The truth is, everyone needs closure. Even if you do try something, and it’s difficult, and it ends, at least you know you tried. At least you know it was really the right decision to end it. You tried, and you failed. That’s okay, that’s something you’ll get over. But wondering, always wondering how it would have went if you had just let it happen, that’s torture. It’s the “what ifs” that keep me up at night. And the fact that he was strong enough to want me, to want to put up a fight for me, and I wasn’t strong enough to fight for him. And for the way I feel now, I have only myself to blame.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Hair Style
Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national past time. One such star whose hairstyle has become the latest must have look is Wales-born Hollywood beauty Catherine Zeta Jones. Her sexy face framing hair style, rich chocolate brown hair color and movie star persona is why Catherine was named one of Hollywood ’s sexiest women alive by Esquire magazine.
TO GET THE LOOK: Does your hair get frizzy in damp weather?
If that’s the case, try Catherine’s sexy face framing tousled style and say good-by to frizzy and bad hair days forever. To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time, starting with a style cut and shaping.
LET’S SHAPE IT: For Catherine’s style, start with a long layered silhouette with flirty brow brushing bangs and face framing waves to accent high cheek bones. This ultra feminine style is ideal for natural wavy hair like Catherine’s. With a few adjustments (trims) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your style.
LET’S STYLE IT: First, give your hair an extra boost with a puff of gel mousse or setting spray. Just run either through damp hair and comb
in place to dry au natural or toss your hair upside down and give it a
quick blow dry for volume. After, if your locks look a bit on the dry or
frizzy side, a dab of styling cream will tame it. For a dressy look, a
quick turn around your styling iron or a hand full of steam rollers gives
it the look. After, lightly brush and finger comb. To turn up the shine,
finish with a high gloss light hold hair spray and you’ve got Catherine’s
star style!
NOW, LET’S COLOR IT: Actresses change their hair color often for
the many roles they play and Catherine is no exception. If your hair
has lost it deep rich hue and is beginning to gray around the hairline
like Catherine’s, a dark chocolate brown tint will define the shape and
wash the gray away. After, a clear glaze seals-in the color and
amplifies the shine. To keep this up, the new growth is tinted every
six weeks.
Your sexy face framing style will make you fall in love with
your natural wavy hair. And best of all, this "time saving" do' a snap
to style. Just comb in place to dry au natural or toss your hair upside
down and give it a quick blow dry for volume. The rich dark Chocolate
brown hue has washed the gray away and turned the glam bar up a
notch. So toss your old frizzy hair do’ aside and slip into Catherine’s
tousled style with flirty brow brushing bangs and glam hair color and
say so long to bad hair days forever.

your hair shine like the stars.

now i don't know how to be friends with him
tfs
i still don't know how i feel about him. it hurts my heart when he doesn't answer my phone calls or when he doesn't call me or text me forever. this summer he said he didn't know if he even remembered what it felt like when we were traveling, when it was so good and we were having fun. and i don't know if i'm remembering anymore either. but parts of me are. parts of me remember the good so intensely that i can't stop thinking about it. like talking forever on the roof or in the hammock. or doing ridiculous things like stealing hotel room keys just to have sex just then. or standing in a ridiculous pharmacy staring blankly at their questionable assortment of condoms trying to decide which might, perhaps, maybe just work enough. but that was after we had had a little fight. and then i remember that there were also times when it was just the two of us when there wasn't much to say, when we were both drawing a blank. part of me thinks that's totally normal. part of me thinks that happens with everyone. but part of me wonders if, as he said, there was never a 'spark.' maybe there wasn't. was i just attached to the sex? but then i know i wasn't. for whatever reason, he was someone who got to see all of me. literally every corner inside and out. i don't know why i felt okay telling him everything but i did. maybe he wasn't asking for it. maybe it was too much on my part and i should have been more guarded. and maybe i should have. but how could i have felt more comfortable talking to him than i ever have talking to any other boy before. the sex.. that was also me. i guess i wanted it. he wanted it too though. he could have said no. it doesn't always have to be the girl who says no if it doesn't feel right. so i guess because of all of this what happened happened and i loved it and maybe began to love him a teensy bit too.

yesterday i told my best friend that i was not ready to let him go
unknown
"I believe that you, for the past few weeks have been noticing this. It's nothing dangerous or serious, but I need to get this of my chest. Lately, I've been growing feelings for you. I don't expect that you'll have feelings for me in return, but I want to make sure that there's no misunderstanding, and I want to know how you feel about me."
I finally made myself tell him, while crying hysterically on the phone with my best friend.
I finally made myself tell him that I feel.
That I feel for him, in a way that he does not feel for me.
Yesterday I cried because he had told my best friend that he knows that we have to stop what we're doing.
Yesterday I told my best friend that I was not ready to let him go. Not yet.
Yesterday I was not ready to let him go.
For the past eight weeks we have shared a very physical relationship.
For the past eight weeks my highs have been the highest I have ever had, and the lows have been so very low.
I have never been as happy as when I am with him, and I have never cried this much.
Just because I have known that he is not at his happiest when he is with me.
I know that I remind him about things that he would rather forget.
I know that I remind him everytime we meet, about the time he was cheating with me.
I know that I remind him about one of the most heartbreaking times of his life.
And that is why he will never feel for me in the way that I feel for him.
But, at least, I finally made myself tell him.

i want it gone. all gone.
unknown
Love is hurting me again,
Love is making me cry again.
It's aching in places that didn't ache before.
I say quietly to myself, Please.. Please let me be. Please stop hurting me.
The pain will eventually fade, but the next night, it haunts me again.
Sometimes I wish that there were such magical device like from the movie (Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind). Where you can erase the entire memory of one person you wish to delete. Like deleting his picture from your computer. Permanently. Even if that person made a big impact in your life, even for a short period of time, like, 6 months. I want it gone. All gone. Unrequited love is the most cruelest love out there. I'm in love, all alone. It's been a year since we broke up, of course I'm all alone, what am I thinking? Sorry it's the love gas talking. But it's so strange to be in it all by myself. If he was still in love like I am, he'll be back right? He would tell me, wouldn't he? Here's the thing: Why do we question love? Love should be blunt and straight forward. If he loves you, he'll come back. He'll come back.... Or am I bullshitting myself? There goes the question mark again. I need to get myself out of this loop. I'm in love with a man who doesn't even keep in touch with me anymore. I'm in love with a guy who, I'm pretty sure, doesn't think about me on a daily basis like I do with him. Fuck.
Only because I miss the guy who wouldn't let me get off the phone until he fell asleep.
Only because I miss the guy who was willing to drive 2 hours to come see me.
Only because I miss the guy who told me he loved me first and blushed like a little boy.
Only because I miss the guy who told me he wanted to be with me forever.
Only because he assured me that long distance won't stop him from loving me, that, "I can do it. Don't you worry about that."
The list goes on and on..
We broke it off amicably. The long distance was just too difficult. But we still loved eachother. We said "I love you" before we decided that this wasn't going to work.
That's why I'm here still drowning in that love.
It never left me.
So now I'm alone in love.
I tell myself, "It didn't work for a reason. It's been a year. You've got to move on."
But I always lose that arguement with myself.
I'm lost in love.
The past couple months have been the darkest days of my life. The time is only stretching more and more. And I'm still where I started. The walking wounded.
The unrequited love.
Doesn't matter how many drinks you have with your girlfriends. Because you still go to bed going over every detail, the what if's, the why's, that time you told him "Long distance is hard, I've tried it. I'm not willing to go through it again if you don't think you'll be able to handle it." He reponded with, "Don't worry. I love you too much." and like an idiot, I believed him. Sometimes you even convince yourself that he'll see the light and drive 2 hours to show up at your door.
I'm still waiting for little pieces of my soul to fall back into place. But how much longer? Does time really heal all wounds? Seems like time isn't on my side on this one..
It's been so long since I've seen you (heart pounding)
I miss you so much (throat thickening)
But I need the little pieces of my soul back, however long that may be (absolutely can't swallow)

for a savior/ for saving me
unknown
This is for a savior .
I was found a couple of weeks ago, tired of everything. I was ready to give up not only love but school and all that reminded me of home. Along with a number of events, I dug myself a hole where I seemed to lose myself in panic and confusion. But somehow, one night, I was found by this beautiful person, with a heart of an angel. The first night we talked uninterruptedly for six hours, and we continued to talk the next day and the next and the next... After a week when we finally met, we continued to talk. We spoke with words and looks and smiles,.
The other night.-
He kissed me, and it felt like I was falling apart. It felt like he had picked stars from the sky and let them flood through my veins. I shone.
He took my hand as he walked me home; I smiled all night long.
Before I knew it, time passed and I am where I am today. these few weeks, these twelve days feel like months. and there's so much more of this story but it's just details. What matters is that these weeks have given me hope, a light to count on. I know for sure that my heart lies in his his hands; I'm not afraid. His eyes tells me that nothing can go wrong. His heart tells me I am happiness. His words are nothing but the truth.
I know now, for sure, that there are saviors in this world.
They may be rare, but they are there.
He is amazing. I am happiness.

Britney Spears HairStyle
Britney’s Popularity
Britney Jean Spears was born December 2, 1981 in Mississippi, but the country girl moved to Louisiana as a child. From an early age, her musical talent and flirtatious good looks were apparent, and she launched her career in the public eye when she was just 11 by appearing on the Mickey Mouse Club. At age 17 the pop star emerged as a talented singer and debuted her first album, which instantly catapulted her onto the pop charts and into the position of a fashion and style trendsetter.
As Britney grew up under the public’s scrutiny on stage, she began generating regular controversies by shifting from the girl-next-door look to sexy pop diva. Her clothing, dance routines, and songs gradually became more suggestive, and in 2004 – after marrying Kevin Federline – she took a break from her singing career to indulge her desire to become a young mother. After having two children in two years, she filed for divorce from Federline in November 2006, citing irreconcilable differences for the split.
Pledging to return to pop stardom, Britney reveled in her newly single status, rapidly regaining both notoriety as a stylish single and resentment as an inappropriate role model for the young girls who idolized her. In February 2007, Britney appeared to break under the pressure and eventually checked into a rehabilitation center to seek help.

In February 2007, Britney appeared to break under the pressure and eventually checked into a rehabilitation center to seek help.
From Loose to Luscious
Just as her life has been through many stages, so too has Britney Spears’ hair style undergone many transformations to match her widely varied roles and appearances. Britney is a natural brunette, but her characteristic sunny blonde locks are the result of careful coloring and blonde hair highlights. The different stages of Britney’s hair include:
* Short to medium length straight, simple locks while she was younger.
* Longer, wavy styles with multiple layers tapered to her face shape as she cultivated a sexier image.
* Long bangs brushed over her eye or off to the side for a sultry frame to her eyes and oval-shaped face.
* Practical loose ponytails and basic hair accessories as a young mom.
Not only has Britney changed her hair color, but Britney Spears’ hair style is the result of frequent hair extensions that give her more flexibility with her style and guarantee she can sport the long, luscious locks she has integrated into her style. Unfortunately, the harsh chemical treatments to maintain her blonde hair and the stress of the extensions have taken their toll, and many people speculate that her hair is severely damaged by such rough treatment.
Getting a Britney Spears Hair Style
Many girls – preteens and teenagers in particular – adore Britney Spears’ hair style and work to create their own Britney-esque look. While the harsh styling techniques that give Britney her characteristic hair styles are not the best option for most individuals, there are certain things anyone can do to emulate this pop princess’s hair.
* Britney Spears’ hair styles are almost always worn loose and long. The process to grow your hair long can take years, but it is a better alternative than costly extensions. Girls with short hair can still emulate much of Britney’s style, however.
* Layers are essential to Britney’s look. The layers should be carefully tapered toward the chin, framing the face without adding excessive volume, and the outer layer of hair should be the longest.
* Highlights add texture and dimension to Britney’s style. Multiple highlight colors should be used, but they should coordinate with the overall sunny shade of blonde she favors (or with whatever hair base color you have for a blended look).
* Add waves to straight hair by using a large-barreled curling iron to create loose ringlets, and do not brush them out completely – styling with fingers will be more effective.
* When styling, use hair spray or hair gel to tame frizz and keep hair sleek but falling in assorted locks.
* The hair should be worn loose and tossed about the shoulders for care-free Britney appeal.

he says he doesn't know what love is
zimba
all of your emails are so inspiring. i get SO many everyday and wish i could post it all, but that would mean blogging 24 hours a day. thanks to all who have submitted and thanks to A for this email:
Alright. So here I am, 2.30am in the morning, going home from work, my heart is in so much pain, I am trying to find some sort of logical reason how that person who I am keep trying to establish a healthy relationship just let me lose him again.
He says he doesn't know what love is. He says he has never felt it. Only has been told that it's something amazing and fantastic and wonderful... But he doubts he has ever experienced it.
This made me want to find the right way to explain it to him - or maybe just to myself - what LOVE is.
Because I've been there, it happened to me. I guess love is an instant thing. It's either there or not. And it happens so quickly, you don't even notice it.
When you meet with that special person the first time, you know nothing about each other. Nothing at all. And despite all the rationality something just happen. You want to spend hours with that person, you want to just listen to what he/she says - even if it would be a big pile of rubbish if it'd come out from somebody else's mouth.
He/she makes you laugh like no others.
You can be the strongest, most confident person in the whole wide World, but you just can't stop those shaky legs, don't seem to be able to put one sensible sentence together - nor stop talking because you are too worried it will get awkward and weird.
At the end of the night of your first date you wish time would stop there and then at that perfect moment - when only the two of you exist in the Universe - would never end.
You've just said goodbye 5 minutes ago but you already feel like you have many new stories to tell him/her.
You can't sleep because all you can think of how great you felt with that person and you are trying to figure how can it be so easy and smooth.
You get changed several times before the next date because you want to make sure you look your best and he/she just won't be able to take his/her eyes off you.
And then all of a sudden this person becomes part of your every moment in the day.
You can't focus at work, keep recalling those perfect nights together, call in sick because you want to stay in bed with him/her as long as possible, you are so proud of this person in your life that you want to introduce him/her to everyone from the local postman to you best friends and your family, and this is the person who is the reason why you cancel dinner with your best friend...
And then.. You realize that so much time gone past and that person is still there. And you became one very special and unique thing together that you never want to lose. Hopefully it lasts for a while.
But there are times when it comes to an end. And I don't know why. I guess as us, humans constantly growing, developing, making changes and decisions in our lives as individuals; creates the chance to grow apart.
And it hurts. And seems like the end of the World has came. And you suffer. Can't eat or sleep. Want to hate the one, think of every bad and negative you can just remember of but still can't hate him/her.
This is love. Still. Even if it's now making you suffer.
And then it starts again.
And you are putting your heart out there for someone else who might break it, but who cares when it's feels soooo good to have that warm and fuzzy feeling inside for whatever long it lasts? :)

Can you get $30,000 for a hair cut?
Well here is a Stylist in London that gets that kind of money. Outrageous? Yes, but how do you up your price? How do you convince a customer that you can be worth more than the cost of typical haircut? It's service, that extra time or product that you spend on your customer. That great cup of coffee for the morning appointment of glass of wine for the evening appointment. This case is extreme, but find something that will bring your service to the next level.
From the New York Daily Post
by Sherryl Connelly
If a haircut costs $32,339.98, how often would you go in for a trim?
British stylist Stuart Phillips claims that regardless of the recession his Covent Garden salon is crowded with clients willing to pay that price. Many of them are the wives of new-money Russian oligarchs, according to London's Daily Mail.
Phillips insisted in the Daily Mail the price was right and fair.
"I am available to them for the whole day and we make sure they have the best of everything.
"I have had to provide everything from security teams and bodyguards, exotic and expensive oils to wash through clients' hair, interpreters, personal chefs, and special scents put through the ventilation system, and even dog walkers to entertain their pets."
Okay, so there's overhead. But Phillips does provide a discount, of sorts. A guest can bring a friend for the cut-rate cost of $13,023.95.
There is a 20-point questionnaire in which clients make clear what kind of treatment they expect. Questions run along the lines of "Would you like your bodyguard to wait behind you or by the front door?" and "Would you like your personal shopper to shop with you or for you?"
Phillips, who won't reveal the names of his clients for security reasons, among others, came to stylistic prominence after the British Academy of Film and Television made him their first official stylist. He was the one who peppered Serena Williams' hair with diamonds worth 163 million for a Wimbledon party last year hosted by business mogul Richard Branson.
"It may seem a lot of money, but I feel that these charges are justified," Phillips insists. "All you need to do is compare other expensive non-essential things. For example, certain hotels in the world can easily cost a few thousands pounds a day.
"If someone has a billion dollars in the bank, to fly their girlfriends or wives over, it is nothing. For them [$32,000] is a drop in the ocean."
For the price, Phillips will close the salon, send a luxury car, deliver an hour-long lifestyle consultation, and usher the client into a relaxation area where they are treated to a shiatsu acupressure head or body massage.
Canapés and cocktails are served throughout, or champagne lunch, or traditional tea and scones. Probably all three are available for that price since a personal chef can also be had as well as an assistant and up to three bodyguards.
Then there's the goody bag composed of luxury hair products that Phillips chooses based on hair type.
"If anything my services have been more in demand," he claims. "I guess in times of uncertainty people like to pamper themselves."
Oh, we do. But the rest of us can't, or at least, not like that.

every year as long as I will live
image: mommyaddictedtoscraps
thank you to patricia for sending me this story:
I've got a part-time job as a telemarketer. Not the greatest of jobs but, not working of comission anymore, I've actually started to like it. Everyday I get to talk to people and hear them telling me stories from their lives. Stories I'd never hear if I hadn't tried desperately to sell them a subscription of a newspaper.
A few weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with an old man.
I asked him if he was interesting in getting a subscription of the local paper. He replied by telling me that if I was wondering why he had hoist the flag it was because his wife would have been turning 85 today if she were still alive.
I told him that I really thought that was a very sweet thing to do. The old man agreed and said "I will keep doing this every year as long as I will live."
While listening to him telling me about his beloved wife a wamth spread in my chest and my eyes were prickling. Eventually I wished him a nice day and ended the call.
I had a smile glued to my face for the rest of the day. Not because he bought the subscription but because of the picture I had stuck in my head of an old man looking up at the flag pole in his backyard and smiling.
This made me believe a little bit in love. True love that lasts forever.

Beyonce Hairstyle
This page has photos of Beyonce Knowles hairstyles. Hairstyle.com shows you how to copy Beyonce's hairstyles, so you can look like Beyonce Knowles.
Whether she is wearing it straight, up or in a curly afro, Beyonce's hair always looks amazing.
Her hair is always worn long.
Sometimes she straightens it for a sleek, smooth and formal appearance. But our personal favourite is the tumbling barrel curls, which give Beyonce a look of old Hollywood glamour.
For beautiful barrel curls like Beyonce Knowles
* Shampoo and condition hair. Towel dry hair gently.
* With damp hair, take a small section of hair- about one and half inches. Comb it smooth and spray it with volumising spray or hair spray. This will help hold the curls and give your hair body.
* Wrap this section of hair around a large roller. Velcro rollers are a great modern roller. There is no need for pins, as velcro rollers stick to the hair itself.
* Remember to roll the hair in the direction you want the hair to go.
* Let your hair dry naturally if you have time. If you are in a rush, use a hairdryer to dry your hair.
* Unravel the rollers once your hair is dry. Gently comb the curls with your fingers. Finish with another spray of hair to hold your sexy curls!
the love you have for a best friend
thank you to T for the lovely email + images...
Dear LeLove,
Let me just start off by saying I absolutely adore your blog and look forward to new posts and updates when I'm sitting at my desk at work with nothing to do. ( and luckily its one of the sites I actually have access to.)
I know a lot of the posts are dealing with boyfriend/girlfriend romantic love and relationships. As much as I enjoy reading the cute, sad, touching, amazing stories about this type of love, I think an extremely special form of love has been left out.
The love I am referring to is the love you have for a best friend. It’s unique and so important to have. It’s more than just affection for someone; it’s a deep underlying connection. The comfort of knowing you can tell them everything, and not have worry about being judged. The first person you tell when something exciting happens, or when something scary happens. The person you turn to when you need to vent. The person you can laugh at because they will just laugh back at you. The person you need to tell things to so your brain doesn’t explode. The person who can make you feel better when you’re having a tough day, the one you turn to for advice. . The person you can have full conversations with by merely exchanging glances. And maybe most importantly, the one you tell all your secrets to, especially boy secrets.
Someone once told me they thought it was creepy how my best friends and I said “I love you” to each other often. I told them: I think when you love someone; you can’t help but sound at least a little creepy. Love is love. No matter if it’s for your Mom, your cat, a boy, or your best friend. And when you are lucky enough to have people to love, and be loved, you need to let them know how thankful you are for that, and how much you love them back...
- T.
