Glamorous Jade - Party of One

I've spent a couple days with my best friend Dandelion now and I adore being with her because she makes me think. The first time I met her - before even asking her name - I said "You smile a lot. I like you. (turning to my other best friend) Can we adopt her?" I was under the mistaken impression that just because she was younger she would be almost like a younger version of us, or maybe she'd learn or grow into our little mold we had worked so long to create. 

But I was mistaken. She is the wisest of my friends, quite possibly the wisest of anyone I know - regardless of age. And it continually amazes me how genuine she can be. When she looks at you it's like everyone else is peering through a thin sheet of tainted or judgmental fabric and she's the only one without it. She speaks her mind without censor, yet is never mean or rude. And her craving to learn more inspires you to always search for more.

Honesty and innocent looks create the world you enter when you meet this darling woman. And in my attempt to become a better person I have placed her in my collection of those I look up to. Just proves age is truly a number. Check her out here. You'll see what I mean.
