My Favoritest Ashley

Lately, I have not seen my bestest friend in the whole wide world as much as I used to. We used to be attached to the hip but sadly, school, boys, work, etc., have gotten in the way. So I want to dedicate a post to my Ashley.

Ashley is the most amazing girl ever. She is kind and caring, sometimes so much that she doesn't take care of herself enough. More time than I can count, she has dropped everything for me if I have been having a bad day or found myself in trouble. I think the people she can actually say she doesn't like or care about can be counted on one hand. She barely ever has something bad to say about someone and is always willing to help.

She is optimistic. I think that she doesn't have a pessimistic bone in her body. Sometimes, when I'm down and she's trying to bring me back up, I try to rip her head off and tell her that she is being too optimistic but I don't think she realizes how much her mind-numbing optimism means to me.

She is adventurous. This makes me feel bad because I am the type that likes to curl up and read a book in my spare time, while she likes to go on hikes, scooter expeditions, and meet strangers. And more often than not, I drag her down to my level and we sit around doing nothing. But when we do go out and do stuff, I'm always glad I do because I wouldn't trade in those memories for the world.

She makes me laugh. Half of the things she says ends up in my quote book. We have so many inside jokes that I can't even remember most of them. I know my brother thinks we're idiots since we're always in my kitchen, laughing over the dumbest things.

She is smart. Only with her have I had philosophical conversations that are about the important things in life, that have shaped the way I look at the world. She always has the answers to my questions about life, and knows so much. She's also very people smart and can read people very well.

This list can go on and on. But in short, Ashley Grace is the most amazing person in the world. She is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. I love you, Ashley. Thank you for all you do for me.
