It’s true that I don’t have many in real life friends.
It’s true that when I say I’m having a girls night that it’s likely with one friend only.
It’s true that I don’t need a lot of friends.
Just one really good one.
One that gets my weirdness & sometimes crass jokes.
One that I can be completely myself around.
One that likes me for me no matter what.
A girl who I can sit in complete silence with and not feel the need to talk.
This girl is Jess. She is my best friend. My homegirl. The sister I never had.
{me and jess at the railroad revival tour concert. MUMFORD!!}
Jess and I are seriously like twins. We think alike in so many ways it’s funny, we both can’t stand most girls because of the drama so many girls, woman, ladies, gals bring. We have our own set of drama but it’s ours to share with each other. And it’s just a small amount. I can say anything to Jess, and I don’t feel like less of a person for saying it. She sees my true colors and is not bothered by it.
Best Friends are the best secret keepers. You keep theirs and they keep yours. And then you eat ice cream. :)
She sees me for me. I see her for her.
Jess is the type of friend you can see yourself having until you’re an old wrinkly fart. :)

Quality is better than quantity in my book :)

This means the world to me because I feel the exact same way except reverse the source. A complicated way of saying ditto. I know you get my complicated nonsense. XOXO

I agree with you, quality is WAY more important than quantity! I think if most women were honest, they have only one friend who truly “gets” them, if they’re lucky. It is hard to make close friends as adults, we get busy with family, or work, or both. The opportunities become less frequent, and people get more baggage as they age and build more walls around themselves. You should count yourself blessed to have such a great friend, and it sounds like you already do :)
