A special thanks for a bestie.

Anyone that sees this that doesn't know me personally, there is only one thing you need to know about this person I am writing cryptically about (because I'm not sure if they want their legal name mentioned.) They have been one of my best friends since we were young and crazy teenagers. We grew up together, experienced the first tastes of adulthood together, celebrated wins, mourned losses, and had one hell of a time doing it all! This person has seen me through almost every season of my life even if it was via text or call at times. If you're not them, this next bit isn't meant for you, but you're welcome to read as I adore her and think everyone should know how cool she is! (She streams on twitch under ZombaeSempai btw. You should def visit if that's your jam!)

Hey you! Yeah, you with the face! The person who helped me pick myself up more times than I can count... Yeah you! How dare you? You get me through deaths, and births, and starting over, and the pains of realizing mortality... How dare you still show up and be my first customer??!! You're supposed to be tired of me by now! lol

Thanks for always doing your best to make sure that you show up so loud I don't notice other people aren't cheering. Thank you for listening to me cry about how scared I am to start this, and for reminding me that we did harder things, and with a hangover and less money in our pockets! Thank you for always encouraging me to try things and not be scared of failure. I will always appreciate everything you have done for me along the way and continue to be amazed by your kindness. You are the sister that God knew our mothers would not be able to handle together, so he split up the chaos lol. I love you so much and appreciate you more than you know! Here's to both our risky jumps succeeding and us reflecting on this in another 10 years going "dude how did we even survive?!" ♥
