It’s Valentine’s Day, so you know what that means! BEST FRIEND APPRECIATION TIME! <3

So basically Valentine’s Day in Finland is quite literally called friend’s day, which is why I have decided it is best send showering my very best friend @emmatleena with some love! Because she’s the best and totally deserves it. Tbh she’d deserve a post like this every day, but let’s start small I guess :D

Anyway, I made a post like this last year as well, and everything I said there still stands and I don’t really know what else to say, except that Emma continues to be the best, most caring, compassionate, funny, intelligent and excellent person, and I’m so so lucky to have her in my life. She’s the one person who knows me pretty much 100%, or as many percent as it’s possible to know another person, anyway. She knows my good sides and hypes me up when I sell myself short, but she also knows I can be a little shit and calls me out on it when necessary. For both of these features I am grateful! :D

Having spent so many years in my youth feeling like I’ll never be able to find someone who would get me and care for me as much as I care for them, it is still a little hard for me to believe that I’m worthy of such a friend, but hey, I ain’t complaining! It’s the best feeling in the world to know I have someone to share all the best moments (such as our wild playground ride at Turku Pride 2016 as portrayed in the pictures above) and the worst moments as well.

Speaking of the worst, one of the most memorable moments of this past year for me was being in London in November 2016 with Emma. It was the day after the US election and we were sitting downstairs at a Waterstones, having spent the morning in a state of total distress and disbelief. As we were processing the news, Emma showed me a satirical comic strip another friend had sent her, related to the horrifying situation at hand. For some reason, we just started laughing, and soon we were cry-laughing hysterically at a Waterstones, trying to calm ourselves down so as not to get kicked out for making too much noise. I don’t know why, but that moment stuck with me. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through that day without her, but somehow that moment of random hysteria made me feel a bit more okay. (Obviously nothing about this political hell is okay, but fuck it, we’ll make it through together!)

Anyway, this has been a sappy post dedicated to my bestest friend ever, I hope you know how much I appreciate having you in my life. You’re the greatest, I love you! <3

Emma Rules

I realized that the friends I have now for the most part don't know these rules

Because they're ancient and sacred rules that I have kept since sixth grade

So here you go here are the rules cited in the Friendship With Emma Handbook

No self-harming. Every time you want to hurt yourself, you write one good thing in your life on the place you want to cut. Then you turn on your happy song, you sing and you dance, and if you still feel like you deserve pain, you text me and we talk about it.

You come to me when you're feeling down. Because I may not be a professional, and I will never claim to be, but I have never met someone who I have not felt was worthy of love and happiness, and I have never met someone who was imperfect, and there is nothing I will not do to make you feel better. You come to me, we talk. That's how we figure things out, kiddos. Words make sense of the riddles in our hearts.

Mutual honesty. You have something to say to me? Say it. I've said it to myself before, most likely. We talk about it. Communication is my fucking kryptonite.

You're allowed to be stupid. Be an idiot. It's the greatest fun you'll ever have.

Dress how you want, where you want, when you want, because you are the cutest, and you rock it and own it (trust me, pretty much all of my friends have been described as #goals by me at least once).

You are allowed to make demands on my time. I encourage it. Be bratty and attention-seeking and loud and obnoxious because if that is what you need, then I understand that, and I will help you to fulfill that because there is nothing I will not do for you. Be it in real life or over the internet, do not be afraid to ask me to step away from other obligations for you. I might not be able to do so at that very exact moment, but my next second of free time will be yours, I promise.

If you need a story to make you feel better, ask me. If you don't know what I mean by this, ask me. I have a habit of writing fairytales for the ones I love.

Tell me about your future and your thoughts and your worries. There is nothing in the world that interests me more than knowing you.

Please don't let Emma have another gimmick like AJ.

Enough with the two minutes of kinda wrestling and then tapping out.

Convince me or something.
