One of my closest friends is my Alex, and I am her Jamie. She is undeniably My Person. Here’s how to recognize when you’ve finally met Your Person.
If a shared history of dark and twisted moments bonds you, don’t let her slip away. Such friendships are rare; those who can laugh through tears caused by life’s chaos are even rarer. Nurture it.
With every topic on the table, you might even have a pinkie-promise that would bind you to some crazy pact—like deciding who gets a lethal injection if one of you ends up in a coma. You know, just the usual absurd conversations.
When sleepovers start including your partner in the same bed, and neither of you cares about his opinions, you’ve definitely discovered Your Person.
If you’re concocting a wild scheme or plotting revenge, Your Person won’t question your motives; she knows you’re not a lunatic. So, there must be some logical reasoning behind it.
When your partner rolls his eyes at her name on the caller ID, you know you’ve found someone special. And when you answer, and she shouts, “Shut up! This will only take a minute!” it’s official—you’ve found each other.
Though life has changed since those carefree days filled with strong tequila and dancing, some of your best memories still revolve around those late-night adventures.
When you’re feeling down, you don’t turn catty; instead, you both wallow in the moment together, sharing the weight of life’s burdens.
When it’s time for that birth control shot or hormone therapy for in vitro, Your Person is right there, cracking jokes with a “Buck up, buttercup.”
If she’s upset with her partner, you both share in the frustration, but it dissipates quickly when she declares, “Alright, we’re done being mad at him now.”
You may bicker like sisters, but these spats never last long. The argument typically ends when one of you condescendingly asks, “Are you finished being a jerk yet?”
When you’ve found Your Person, you’re practically family, knowing each other’s extended families like the back of your hand. And gossip? Oh, it flows freely, especially when the juiciest news comes around.
Respect is always paramount, but inside jokes will catch you off guard—especially in places like church. Sitting together there is simply not an option.
Your homes might be chaotic, but they’re never too messy for each other; you’ve both witnessed far worse.
You know she’s Your Person because she loves your children as if they are her own. She gives you honest feedback when you’re in the wrong, and she celebrates your victories.
After a long day, she’s the one who tells you when you’ve reached ‘Shrek’ levels of exhaustion and allows you a moment to sneak away for a much-needed shower.
In your younger days, she might have been the voice of reason, reminding you that the boys you idolized weren’t the center of your universe—you were. She’s the strength you need during tough times, and you return the favor.
On days when she’s feeling a bit down, you remind her that this is life, and you’ll get through it together—just like you always have.
She is your Alex, and you are her Jamie. This is what it means to have found Your Person.
