So yeah this is my best friend and she's kind of a big deal.
This was the first ever picture that we took together, or as I like to call it, the start of something beautifully dysfunctional. Why are you looking at this, you ask? Well, mostly because she's a lovely human and this also happens to be an open letter to the person who makes the sun shine brighter every day. I'm here to brag on her a little bit.
Dear soul sister,
It never ceases to amaze me how our friendship is constantly overflowing with love and respect. You've showed me that a person can be so strong, yet so incredibly gentle. I've always been the kind of person to push people away when they get too close- you snapped me out of that REAL quick. You better me. Let's be honest- how many ruthless, stupid decisions would I have made by now if it weren't for you? Too many. We may make a lot of bad choices together- but usually you're the rational one so thanks for that. The world is cruel. People suck sometimes, maybe even most of the time. But you make everything suck a little less.
You've seen it all- the late night breakdowns, the frantic crying, the times where I didn't know what to do with myself. The countless times I try to assure you everything's fine but you know it's not.
Thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on. Thank you for the silly 2am phone calls where we have rants over nothing or you calling just to tell me that you cried for two hours because you crushed a bug. (still never gonna let that slide) Thank you for the little things you do, like putting on pants when all you want to do is sleep just for our meal dates or helping me with my hammock when I get confused, or always making me smile with your silly dance moves and awful puns. I'm so thankful for our late night cuddles, chai chats, jam sessions and spontaneous adventures. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. ( well maybe a Snickers bar)
Remember, only you can put out forest fires.
Thank you for all that you are.
I love you.
