aphrodite_mineWhat follows are some love notes to people who've had a massive impact on my year. Anyone is welcome to read, but if you're mentioned, I'll have sent you the URL.
And to those not mentioned, I love you all. I really, really do.
In semi-random order.
Amanda: My precious, best friend in the universe. This year has been tough, but it's also been wonderful. I've seen you struggle, but also come out on top. You're a beautiful young woman, and you aren't afraid of your own mind. I'm always proud of you, and my heart is sometimes so full with it that I almost hurt. I love you more than my own life, and I would do anything for you. Keep holding on.
Helen: It's been about three years now, hasn't it? Sometimes I forget what it was like, before being friends with you. There's so much that you've brought to my life, helped me with, and encouraged me through, and I can only hope that I've been the same for you. You're a force of nature, truly one of the most beautiful people I know. My life would be a lot emptier without you in it.
Julie: My wife, my roommate, my best friend. What can I even say? It seems like we've known each other forever, but it's only been a year - a year where we've been through so much together. A year I wouldn't repeat, but a year I'll always cherish. I trust you with my very being. You wow me every day, Julie, and there are moments when I am honored just to know you. Thank you for being my friend.
Damaris and Laura: Seems like cheating to include the both of you together, but you've impacted my life together and separately and I hate to repeat myself. I didn't even know that I was missing out on having a family, having such intensive time with friends until I had it with you. I've always thought that fandom friends in real life are a rarity, and having a safe place outside of my own four walls seems even more rare and even more precious.
