"I understand why people think we're gay. There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it -- how can you be this close without it being sexual? How else can you explain a level of intimacy where someone always loves you, always respects you, admires you?"
-Oprah Winfrey on her deep friendship with longtime pal Gayle King.
It struck me immediately when i was reading it ..
This is what has been on my mind when my friends were saying that my closest friend *i call him big bro* and i were dating .. because things that we do or say are mostly not defined in our culture ..
and we are not gay .. we just always love . respect . and admire each other .. just like Oprah and Gayle ..
Writing has been a big part of my life. It's the first
thing that I want to do when something is happening.
