Sisterhood of the Traveling Turtle

"You confuse nurturing men with men that let you use them as a doormat", she says. Most people would feel critisized by this but it's the only way I know how to hear honesty and the only way she knows how to tell me. In an ironic stream of events we became good friends. When I met her I thought it'd be the last time, my sun is in taurus and hers in pisces. Not to mention our first meeting ended with me kissing a stranger on a washer machine and her yelling at a boy for being in jail. I'm sure both of our parents in witnessing this would've found the other to be corruptive. Yet, here I am in a locked bathroom hanging onto every word of the assessment she's making. She has dark hair, red lips and pulls it off better than any line up of latin celebrities-think Eva Mendez. She's the only person that can tell me brutal truth in a tiny bathroom and have me leave with a smile on my face. When I'm torturing myself over jealousy and confusion you bring me back down to earth and pass me a drink. I love you all the way to moons, stars and turtle constellations.

  1. OMGosh! You're too too sweet. It was one random ride that solidified our friendship but I'd take it again knowing you were on the other side with turtle! I'm going to print this and put it on my mirror. I love you!
