snowflake challenge #5

for [community profile] snowflake_challenge 5: Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom.

My life before fandom was so different, but a lot has to do with going through a divorce around the same time I entered fandom, so it's hard to differentiate between what good things are because of fandom and what's because of the divorce!

So I'll just say: I have the most wonderful friends. Many, many friends. Lots of people I've known for decades, and some just for a few years, friends who come and go but are always there, you know? Most importantly, there's my BFF. I met my bestie [personal profile] majoline through fandom (through a friending meme here on DW, to be exact) and I've never had a more perfect blessing in my life that wasn't my actual flesh and blood children. I'm not going to spend the whole post gushing about her, BUT I COULD. We talk every day, share the big stuff and the minutia, the ups and the downs. There are lots of downs sometimes, but we support each other. She's awesome. Before fandom, I never had a friend like her.

This post was awesome. What a great friend. I met my best friend 25 years ago. She lives in another but we call and text weekly. Fandom has been good for lots of us.
