My New Best friend.. Inspired by Melanie ...

My New Best friend.. Inspired by Melanie..
 Well I have thanked My Parents , My Mentors , My Niece , and now who?? hmm, Ok what about MY NEW BEST FRIEND.. ? New? Yea , its funny how times and circumstance can change how old friends feel about one another..  I never thought my child hood friend would abandon me,, But I know sometimes you can't force even a best friend to like you or love you forever. I know maybe I thought he was a bestie , but if he doesn't feel it or their significant other.. Its hard to keep the bond,, I'm not upset..
  Because enter my New Best friend,. Its funny at first meeting I couldn't stand her.. or I thought Who the KHGFH(*=^R@#  was she? I mean I'm the center of attention with the fam get togethers.. But as soon as we chatted and got to know each other.. Everyone thank her for bringing the Swell Mel back.. He was hidden under the bad ass image of a military guy. I know he's still there, if you ever cross me,, Look out,, I mean that's why I laugh a lot, watch comedies and have a positive vibe.,,. Because my training on the street fights . karate tournaments boxing matches and military fighting skills has made me a very dangerous person if provoked.. that's the reason so many fighters are laid back. They need to be, or they would beat everyone up..
 But MY new Bestie just happened, We found out we like to laugh , we like to sing.. and we kike to make people happy.. WE had very similar back grounds and we both just click.. There is no denying the connection we ,, I know some people who are not sophisticated or just plain horny may think we are having a affair, because we are so nice to one another , and we tease or wink at each other and laugh at jokes only we understand,. But sometimes , in life I had a few of them where a person just knows what you are thinking or what they understand your moods,, And folks I'm a moody person, but I can bounce form one mood to another , but one thing is I'm very positive, Maybe too much, I think everyone is good , but often times people like you because they want something . right? sex, money , attention , job.. but a true friend loves you unconditionally and a true friend protects you ,., Well after many years. I have found my bestie ,,we don't see each other a lot , because of the miles apart we live. but when we do,, We have the best of times,, I have nothing but respect for Melanie, The transition form military to civilian was very difficult . but since we met m she has been my advisor , my friend , my mentor,, and believe me to have a woman mentor me is or was something that was totally out of the question all my life, But she was the first friend to really say it in my face and say it with sincerity , and I love that about her. I know I'm a complicated.. unique some of my family say.. But One thing I am , I appreciate everything that is given to me, and I appreciate Melanies care and love,, She looks at me as a baby brother , even though we pretty close in age, she always says the right things and remind me to be good.. Something my other bestie failed to do.. But life is funny you never know when you find your true love, I found mine when I wasn't even looking and my bestie seem to come into my life when I needed her most.. I know you can see the change in me, I'm more relaxed , more contented and more willing to forgive people. But I also know that I appreciate time more, I don't like wasting time with people that have too many differences, My new bestie likes everything I do, we like to joke, we laugh , we sing , we dance , we love to shop, we love the same comfort foods ice cream.. we like quality over quantity and we love to look good.. Its what has made us so close,, its like we have been friends for years. That's whats so amazing about our connection , it didn't take any effort at all. We just clicked and during this time of my life I needed someone that could advise me and guide me, and she has been that in so many ways, Thus the change in personality and image, I'm letting down my guard more and not having such a ego trip.. I didn't realize I had a such a ego, But she made me realize that One special , but I'm a person just like everyone else, and You have to get more down t earth so people will respect you more and not think your a ego maniac., Yea. Imagine it took all my life and a woman to tell me these things, Why? because she fearless like me and has tremendous love and spirit.. I'm really so humbled that someone with her stature and upbringing would want to be with a hood rat, and south San Diego,, or slum Diego ,, I mean , anyone that knows about the south side,, its not the safest or the most sophisticated part of town.. But we did enjoy our friends and our time ,,, We didn't have all the luxuries that many other schools had, but we had each other,, and that's the reason Melanie and I get along we know what to say , how to say it and always looking out for one another.. We don't.. try to out do one another , we are not envious of each other , and most of all we respect one another . I know I'm a difficult person to understand , but creative people have their moods , that's why we can make things happen, like happiness and sadness or joy , or pain,. Its a art , but at times a curse , because often times I cant sleep because of all the ideas and plans running around my mind.. Yup.. I have found a true friend and a person that I feel will help me achieve my goals in life. She has taught me that no one is perfect and everyone can learn something from one another.. I know ,, I took a lot of things for granted ,, but Now its my new life , my new beginning and I will use my new found intelligence and understanding and become the person my dearly departed mama wanted me to become,. You know now that I think about it.. My bestie reminds me of my mama.. I was a Mama boy before My mama passed away,, And when she did. That angry , pissed of Mel took over and ruled my life in the military.. I used the pain in my heart to hurt and intimidate fellow sailors, Its was my way or the highway, and a lot of times, That spelled trouble to a lot of my superiors,, But now,, those days are gone and Now I have a bestie that not only loves me as a friend , but appreciates me as a person. I know a lot of times friendships between a man and woman turns into a sexual thing.. but I really look at my bestie as a older sister and a mother like presence and I don't want to ruin our bond.., All I want to know is that As we grow older and our kids move on with their lives, that whatever time we have either at parties or what  , I will cherish our friendship and our trust that we are looking out for each and not trying to sabotage our relationships.. We are truly bestie ,because we don't have to explain anything, we just know what we are thinking .. Its a truly unique and wonderful bond and I pray and hope , it stays that way and for those that think men and women cant be friends , I'm stating loud and clear that my bestie is just that my best friend that has one agenda, To be good to one another and encourage our best interest at heart.. Because of that Melanie, Thank you for all your support and encouragement, because it seems in my heart and soul I'm a much happier and contented person, and finally letting go one my ego trip and becoming normalized,, well as much as a dancing , fighting , singing , acting , writing creative unique guy I can?? Its a wonderful feeling to have a bestie that will be there no matter what and doesn't force attention on oneself,, We cherish the time we share and I'm looking forward to spending a great weekend with my bestie , celebrating my retirement and my humble home.. Its true if you can find a handful of friends that you are truly blessed and I thank God ,, that in my new life and beginning I found a bestie that will assist me and guide me through the tribulations of life. To me that's what a true best friend does,, They think before they speak or post things on social media,,,She is a thoughtful and caring person I respect and I'm so glad , that we are enjoying our connections and bond because in life ,, such friendships are rarely seen,., I know I thought I found that bestie, only to realize, you cant force someone to be your bestie,, The true friendship is like driving your dream car,,its just feels right and our friendship is that,, Its feels right and its is .. what it is.. A true bond of two people that lived separate lives , but had very similar life experiences , and because of that, we became friends for life!!
