The Best Person in Your Life

[Hana]

Yesterday, my best friend read me a tweet:

"The best person in your life is the one who comes first in your mind after reading this sentence."

Instead of thinking of my best friend..... I thought of a character from one of my DDs. I felt really awkward. I should have thought of my friends and family. Or God, even though he's technically not a "person." I shouldn't have thought of a fictional character.

Maybe I was thinking of myself? I don't think I'm particularly self centered or anything, but it could be that I was thinking I like my DDs, that they are very important to me.

What gets me most is that I thought of a fairly new character who I haven't developed enough for me to say that I know her very well... I should have thought of of one my favorites, right? Someone I know and love.

Well this whole thing is kinda stupid. I mean, the tweet could be wrong to begin with. The person who posted it isn't any kind of psychologist or anything. It just makes me feel awkward cuz I know my friend read this and thought about me (in all actuality I'm pretty much his only friend) but I thought of an imaginary person I'm still getting to know.....

I guess these things happen when you have a wild mind.

hey honestly this happens to me all the time. The ones about love, friendship etc and they say the first one that comes to mind and its always this one person from my DD. I never felt bad about it though but now you've got me thinking and the worse thing is that the person that comes to mind is not even real:(

It's funny, as I was just think about this recently. Now, to be honest, I don't have a real life bf, or frend in general. They've all abandoned me for others. My daydreaming stems from lonliness, as I've always been a loner.

So, of course, the first person I think about is my "brother". If he wasn't a character, he'd most likely be my bestfriend; protective, sweet, selfless.

But the more and more I think about it, maybe it's the "almost-sorta-kinda 'bad guy'" in my group of daydreaming friends/family. He understands me the most, he hates people like I do, and, again, would do anything he could to protect me. (Then again, all my characters would protect me.)

Moving on past my personal expieriences, I agree with Hunter: don't feel bad. And anyway, do we really need to put our friends in order? ;) You know you care about your friend, don't stress about labels :)
