My best friend is basically the coolest person alive. She's my therapist, mom, boyfriend, photographer, chef, and weirdo all wrapped up into one tiny 5'4 body.

Probably the most important quality.

Probably the second most important quality.

Which is kinda a requirement for all best friends but I still smile every time she says it.
