Society and Friends

Ok. So I'm cheating on my decision to abstain from blogging and other distractions but I need to write. Its a necessity.

The other day I was teasing and talking to one of my guy friends. Not boyfriend, not the only friend who is a boy but a really good friend all the same. It got me thinking, who said guys and girls can't be best friends and nothing more?

He is a really cool guy and its amazing how we connect. I can effortlessly converse with him. Our lifestyles and families have many similarities too. I'm so incredibly blessed to have such a good friend.

That's all we are, though. Friends. We are really close, school friends that are very comfortable in each others company. We've been teased together, gotten each other out of trouble and have generally been there for each other. Why is it that society finds this so unacceptable? Why does society assume we've been a couple? We aren't. We are just incredible friends.

Its about time that society became a little more open minded. Its perfectly normal for boys and girls to be friends. There doesn't always have to be a hidden agenda behind a simple relationship.

My relationship with this friend IS special, that's true. But it isn't the dating kind of special. I guess its just that we've known each other for years and are really at ease in each others company. We're completely ourselves. In my opinion, that's completely acceptable.
