My friends are amazing. I know a lot of people say that but they don’t mean it like I mean it. My friends are inspiringly truthful and accepting. My friends encourage each other not to hide the wars they are fighting inside, the same wars that have taught us how to save ourselves. They are the type of people who make you believe in the hope and the beauty of the world. They insist you laugh until you pee, cry until it’s better and help you build your softest and kindest type of strength. In a world that seeks connection, when we are oddly enough avoiding eye contact and human interaction, these people ground you and empower that connection. They give you the guidance you need to follow your instincts and express your emotions. My friends are beautiful and they are the coolest people I am lucky enough to know. This little blurb is the preface to a new series I am starting, inspired by my lovely friends. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come.
