We met in elementary school and were inseparable during the end of elementary - start of Jr.HS. She lives a whole day of travel away. We've been through a lot together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767280 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:37:02 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1767280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and I've known her my entire life. Unfortunately, she lives a mere 1700 miles away from me. Also, bonus points, for referencing Anne of Green Gables. It's one of my all time favorites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767267 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:32:41 +0000 snowjewelz 1767267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really not sure! I have one reaaaally close friend and I do tell her almost everything, but maybe I'm just a more private person to begin with? She's probably the closest thing tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767265 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:31:50 +0000 loveisstrange 1767265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We've been friends since we were 14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767236 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:20:25 +0000 .twist. 1767236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have two. One I met in middle school age 12 and the other I met through friends when I was 19. They both live ~2 hours away from me in opposite directions, which is incredibly unfortunate. I love them both so so so dearly and can tell them my deepest secrets and we do not judge each other. They are (besides my husband and kids) my favourite people on earth. I get super pouty ALL THE TIME that they do not live closer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767226 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:16:08 +0000 namaste 1767226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My bff is definitely the one I can confide in about anything. We have lived hours apart and now ten minutes apart and just are able to have a good time and rely on each other through anything. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767005 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:09:56 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1767005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We met at particularly difficult times in both of our lives and have always joked that we are soul mates because God put us together at the perfect time. We were roommates for a short time but for most of our friendship we have lived several hours apart. But she is family to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1767002 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:09:18 +0000 loki 1767002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have five girlfriends i feel this way about. i could tell them ANYTHING (and i do). they don't judge me at all. they know me and my heart inside and out and i am just so insanely lucky to have them. it's hard to get together since everyone is starting to get married/have babies (three of them are pregnant!) but i could call any of them at 4am just to cry if i ever needed to. i said it in my wedding speech - they were the first loves of my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1766963 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 07:52:33 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1766963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my best friend from college. We can go a long time without talking (but we rarely do) and we pick right back up where we left off. I am lucky to have her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1766951 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 07:46:04 +0000 Charm54 1766951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my sister. I am so lucky to have her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1766942 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 07:38:25 +0000 charmed 1766942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, but we don't see/talk to each other as much anymore due to distance and life in general. When we do talk, it's like nothing changed, but it's infrequent enough that I wouldn't say she's my "bosom friend" any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1766807 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 02:17:14 +0000 Cherrybee 1766807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I've known my BFF since we were five - we met at school and have been inseparable since. It has been hard since we both had children to spend as much time together - and when we do, we have to chase toddlers and barely get time to chat - and I do fear we might start drifting apart but I know this stage is just temporary.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-bosom-friend#post-1766706 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 23:25:15 +0000 Skadi 1766706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>:</p> <p>"A bosom friend–an intimate friend, you know–a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul.”</p> <p>Anne finds her bosom friend in Diana. Elizabeth Bennett has Charlotte Lucas in <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. The sisters have each other in <i>Little Women</i>. Frodo had Samwise in <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>. And so on.</p> <p>Do you have a bosom friend? How did you meet? Your spouse does not count!</p> <p>I've always wanted one. I'm feeling a little sorry for myself that someone I thought might turn out to be a kindred spirit finds our religious differences too much of an obstacle for a deep friendship. I'm at this stage of life where it seems like it's really hard to meet new people, and I'm offbeat enough in my politics/religion/parenting style that I can't just show up to the local moms group and find people of like mind. It's easy to maintain casual acquaintances with social media, but it's been hard for me to find a reciprocal friendship that is intimate and personal. </p>
