Twenty six years ago today, a person came into the world. Unbeknownst to me, seeing as I hadn’t even been born just yet. But she came into this world nonetheless, along with her twin. While I was growing up I had no clue that in time I would meet the person who would become my hlp, my platonic soulmate, for lack of better words.
Sara, when we met briefly that first day in choir I had barely enough time to form an opinion of you. (Which happened to be “quiet, seems cool.”) As the days and years wore on, we became friends. By the time senior year hit, I couldn’t imagine school life without you. Now I can’t imagine any kind of life without you in it.
I hope I do a decent job of reminding you on a regular basis how much you mean to me, how much you inspire me and encourage me when it all feels hopeless, how your provided safe space/judgment free zone is a safe haven for me. I hope you never go a day feeling doubt about how much I care for you. I hope we’ll continue to be friends long past any and every obstacle the universe cares to throw our way.
May 2017 be good to you. Love you. <3
