Samantha! I love that our first in-person interaction was at DISNEY WORLD of all places because I feel like that's just the first indicator of how magical our friendship is. You are so funny and clever and brave and I love how your life is going -- a year ago all of this would've been unimaginable and now you're married to your own Mickey and building a life for the two of you with all your precious kitties and I am SO PLEASED to be able to witness this!
Martine, you are SO SMART. And not only smart but you're clever and witty and wise, too. I feel like you hold wisdom beyond your years and that I could come and sit at your feet and learn the secrets of the universe. Thank you for sharing this with me, you're also so wonderfully chill that I cherish our interactions.
Oh Flo! You are so full of wonderful thoughts and I love that I get to read about them on LJ again. I'm especially loving getting to witness your new journey as a cat-mom because Pippin has already brought you so much joy and it's been amazing to watch!
Sam, you are a warrior. In my headcanon you look like Princess Mononoke because you're such a badass. It's amazing to see your growth over the last few years, and I feel like you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. You're a magical beast and I'm glad to have you as inspiration to waht kind of person I want to be.
You are this bizarre mix of fighter and open-book and I love it. I feel like there are things about me that you just GET and it's cool to know that someone understands what you're saying even when you're saying it wrong.
Being open can sometimes be confused with being weak, and I know that even I make that mistake with you sometimes still (which SHAMES me because it's something that people do to me and I hate it), but you always make me think of this quote from Amy Poehler's Yes Please:
“I have realized that mystery is what keeps people away, and I’ve grown tired of smoke and mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place. So let’s peek behind the curtain and hail the others like us. The open-faced sandwiches who take risks and live big and smile with all of their teeth. These are the people I want to be around. This is the honest way I want to live and love and write.”
