he environment you grow up in has a huge influence on who you are, so of course she would get where I was coming from. I just love her so much, she is the only person I completely trust.

This is exactly true -- of course there will be small differences, but there are so many small things that you can never tell or fully explain to anyone, so many years after the fact .. that they were there for. Even if you never talked to them about these things during, .. they were there all the same years, and it's a weird [in a good way] thing, that shared experience. Funny when you find these things through another route -- like free food. Lol. But y'know what -- that's the way some of the best friendships come around. Hating each other, or using each other to get something else .. and then being like. Shit, no way. There's something to this.

Yeah, I have a couple younger brothers. The one who is my best friend is six years younger, so it took us longer to come to this point. He was fourteen before I gave him credit for being a real person. Unfortunately, my family moved away just a year later. He's eighteen now and our closeness remains as much as it can, but my heart is broken.

However .. when he comes back periodically [once or twice a year], we are peas in our pod. And completely different from the rest of our family. :]
