I've known my best friend for almost 13 years. I have very few memories that don't involve that crazy girl. But, if we had moved somewhere else, would we have ever met? We didn't go to the same school. We where never on the same Summer Rec team, and even if we did meet somewhere like Dordt Discovery Days, or Unity, I don't think we would seek each other out and be friends. Acquaintances maybe, but not best friends for life.
I wonder, what would my childhood look like? Neighborhood plays, circuses, lemonade stands, barbies, slaves, Doctor Evil Fluffy Face, the game show or that newspaper? (My childhood was rather, um, creative and unique. Crazy maybe. But hey, as best friends, there is no judgement here!) Would we have done any of that? I honestly can't imagine the last 13 years without her. Growing up would have been so different, and today I would be so different. I don't think I would have ever watched Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride and Prejudice, or Doctor Who. (typing that all out, made me realize what a big influence she has on me!) I don't think I would know what an amazing brownie tastes like, or share the same hatred of mold and love of sweatpants. (I'm crazy, okay? Just accept it. No judgement.)
So, what would your childhood and life have been like, if your best friend didn't exist?

| No Judgment. It's pretty much our motto. With friends like these, it has to be. |
 |
| Having fun at Life-Light in our new sunglasses |
 |
| Woah, we look completely normal. Didn't think that was possible . . . |
 |
| Sometimes I question our sanity. But for the record, we are one good stick band. |
To me, It would be a whole new universe. A horribly boring and normal world. I would be a completely different person, and I don't think that would be a good thing.
