A Celebration of Friendship

Hello everyone,

 This is a post to celebrate the people in my life who have never left my side. I love you all so, so, so much, and I can't imagine my life without you.

 To Alexis, you are one of my truest friends. You are open about what you have been through and constantly strive to help others. I love talking with you about life, and one of the greatest nights of my life was going to prom with you. I owe you so much, and can't thank you enough for sticking by my side. I love you so much and I want you to know that you deserve the world.

 To Sophia, you have a beautiful, loving heart of gold. You know just how to make people laugh and are unashamedly yourself, which is amazing. I love you so much. You are going through so much and never let the smile drop from your face. Just remember to breathe, and stay true to yourself. You have a beautiful purpose and a beautiful soul.

 To Emily, I have not known you very long, but the time I have had with you has been beautiful. You are the one of the sweetest people I know and you're crazy talented. You always know how to make me re-focus on God's plan, not my own, and you have such wise words at such a young age. I love you so very much, my dear.

 To Sarah D., I cringe when I think of our earlier interactions; I was strange and clingy, yet you dealt with me anyway. I never thought one day you'd be one of my best friends, but I'm so, so, so glad you are. You are so tough but there is beauty in vulnerability and I can see you growing in both directions, which is so wonderful. I love you, and I respect you, and I can see God helping you through all you have gone through.

 To Alexandra, we don't talk nearly as much as I would like, but I'm terrible with conversation. Nonetheless, you are such an amazing young woman and you constantly astound me with your wisdom and passion for the underdogs. You are going amazing places, and I love you.

 To Sarah H, you are one of my biggest creative inspirations and despite all your hardships, you pull through every single time. I don't know what to say, except that I'm proud of you. I'm so, so, so, very proud, and I love you very much.

 To Chelle, you may be an adult, and my dance teacher, but I also wish to call you my friend. You are one of the sweetest, kindest, most caring people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You are so understanding and strive to help everyone be their best. You are a wonderful teacher, wonderful mother, and wonderful friend.

 To Joy, I've loved seeing you grow and change and become this intelligent, strong, beautiful young woman. We've danced together for years now, and every time I see you, your talent blows me away. You are so very wonderful, and so very loved.

 This can't even begin to describe each and every single one of my friends. I love you all so, so, so, so, so, so, SO MUCH. My heart is bursting from the joy I hold from calling each and every one of you my friend, even if I didn't have enough room to mention you here.

 You are the best, and you deserve the best.

Ciao,
Hannah
