I'm genuinely so grateful for my friends. They have been so kind and supportive and loving whenever I have needed them to be. They've always been a stand in for the kind of familial love I crave, and I'm truly grateful for the emotional intimacy we all share. 

I treasure the fact that I don't have to try hard or be anyone other than who I am with them, it's so freeing. Just able to breathe easy :)
