The best friend I ever had was Lucy. Lucy and I met when we were around the age of four or five and after that she was always around. Lucy was hilarious, and encouraging, and agreed with almost everything that I said. Not only that but, when I needed help she always said all the right things. Among many things, Lucy was also completely fabricated by a five year old me. Perhaps her best quality is that she was literally there for me whenever I needed her. And then one day she was gone. My mom asked where Lucy went and I told her that she had moved to Portland.
Portland was a common place for people to live when I was little, because both my parents and their families were from Portland. And now that I live up in Portland its very important to me that I reconnect with Lucy. Okay okay, I know I can’t reconnect with her. I’m not that delusional. She was an imaginary friend. But my best friend Natalie was, and still is, my REAL Lucy. And just like Lucy moved to Portland that random day, Natalie too moved away. So I’m back to my single days. Life without a side-kick is rough, let me tell ya.
In a big city it’s hard to find your Lucy. There are a lot of shady mo fos out there. And of course I have lots of friends, but just being a friend doesn’t make you a Lucy. You either connect on that Lucy level or you don’t.
And Natalie, before you get confused I’m not up here in Portland trying to replace you. Besides, I know you’ll be back here soon enough. I guess I’m just here to remind the world that Lucy’s are hard to come by, so when you find her, don’t fuck it up!!! Because part of finding Bliss is finding your Lucy.
That is all :)
Find Your Bliss
xoxo,
Kylie
