Unicorn

This picture just makes me smile :)

C.S Lewis once said "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another,"What! You too? I thought I was the only one", and I've found my 'another person' to say that to. I'm going to keep this special someone nicknamed as Unicorn (something she admires dearly).

I once wrote an essay about my best friend (not Unicorn), which I wrote most about how amazing she was instead of emphasizing how much we bonded and clicked as friends. And I realized that as time passes by, our strong friendship seems to diminish. I'm not implying that we are no longer friends, I do want to keep our friendship going, treating it like the 'good ol' days' or in other words, wonderful memories (the ones where I'll look back and smile). My point is, the both of us spent many good times together but we had so many differences, as time goes by, it parted us.

On the other hand, the Unicorn and I haven't spend a lot of time together but through the internet we are able to bond with each other and chat about things we go through. We share a lot of similarities, like being so different in a school full of people who seem to be able to click with one another easily, or, taking interest in childish things like unicorns and magical worlds while girls our age are filling the time shopping for clothes and talking about boys. I mean we do talk about boys and shop for girly things, but most of time we get lost in our very own world where shopping malls or flirting does not exist. I like building castles in the air, and I'm sure the Unicorn does too.

I must say that I have quite an old-fashion personality. Sure, I do surf the internet and browse through videos on YouTube but sometimes Facebook bores me (which sounds insane to teenagers of this generation who log on to Facebook to quench their boredom). Eventually, I run out of videos to watch on YouTube, run out of thoughts to tweet, and run out of people to 'chat' with on Facebook. But mainly, the only reason I log on to Facebook nowadays is to have my 'therapy' session with the Unicorn. Besides chatting with the Unicorn about my day, there's simply nothing to entertain me on Facebook. Being a girl so different like me, you can't strike up a conversation with random classmates anytime because there's simply no similar interests I share with other teenagers and soon the conversation goes dry that you end by saying 'BRB' (be right back) and never come back.

But it's ALWAYS different when it comes to Unicorn, our conversation rarely goes dry, it goes on and on. Which amazes me because I haven't had a solid long chat with other teenagers in ages. And so, I am grateful to have at least someone on this planet who knows how I feel (and mean it), share the same interest, and has the ability to keep a conversation going with just anything that comes up to her mind. What I love about Unicorn is that she never fails to give long replies (something that teenagers nowadays rarely do. They give 'one-word' replies such as 'k', 'oh','cool' and 'bye), and they are pack full with good English. Chatting with her is like sitting in for an English conversation class. She expresses excellently through her words and it's like you can hear her voice without actually hearing it.

Something that I love to do through the week is pouring out how I feel and how my day is to her over Facebook chat. It's really like a 'therapy session'. And I never fail to leave a chat with her feeling encouraged, flattered, satisfied and relieved. I'd really like to thank her for being such a remarkable listening and a true friend that I can relate to. If you ask me to name out a thousand things that God has bless me with, you can be a 100% sure to hear the word Unicorn coming out of my mouth because she is indeed a blessing. I pray that our friendship will continue to be stronger year after year and that both the two of us grow up to be extraodinary women of God, accomplishing tasks together :)

I love you, Unicorn :) Thanks for being there and for being you!

Love,
