The best thing you ever did for me was to help me take my life less seriously...

It's only life after all.

I love my friends. I love them so much. It is possible that they are my soulmates. I know for sure we were destined for friendship... and I feel like the word friendship doesn't even describe it. You know when you try on a pair of shoes that fit absolutely perfectly and you think they're wonderful and so you wear them out a few times and people say "Oh! I really like your shoes!" but they soon become your favorite shoes and you wear them every single day because they're so damn cute and they just fit so right? Ugh, what a stupid comparison... but that's what my friends are like. I feel quite sure that these are the girls I will know forever. The girls who will be first on my invitation list to my someday wedding. The girls who will be the first on my call list when I have my first child. And somehow, I realize... we're not girls anymore. We have grown gracefully into women because we have shared some of life's best and worst experiences together. We are our mothers and we are thankful for that. We're not scared of dawning on that cloak of reality. We are who we are and we are completely unapologetic about that. We stand defiant in the face of adversity and we smile, because that's who we are.

So, best friends. You are my sole-mates ;)
