Last week, I landed at home on Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday morning, my mom and I dropped my sister off at the airport for her senior trip to Italy. (Yes, I’m very
While I am very used to living without Bridget, it was weird not having her around at home. When my mom suggested we get manicures, I instantly felt the need to invite Bridget. When we went shopping as a family, I felt like someone was missing. On Easter Sunday, I kept finding myself wishing she was there with us.
Although Bridget and I are two very different people, she is an enormous part of my life. She is my built-in best friend, and someone who completely understands me and the way I work.
While I am a very open and emotional person, Bridget is very measured and logical. I am very scattered and goofy and Bridget is closed but very clever. She helps me to be more collected and calm and I bring her out of her shell. The way we balance each other creates a very strong bond between us, unmatched by any other friendship I’ve had.
I can always count on Bridget to text me back late at night, even if I’m just catching up on Gossip Girl. She’s always willing to shop with me at home and go on lunch dates. I’m always begging her to come visit me, because even though she’s 17 and I’m 20, we very much enjoy the same things, and I want to show her the city, so we can enjoy it together.
Not having her home last week made me see what an impact she has on my life, and I really did miss her. I can’t wait to be home for the summer so we can hang out. Bridgey is my best friend. :)
