This morning I spent over 2 hours talking to one of my favorite people. We hadn’t spoken in about a week and I was missing the sound of her voice and needed that vitamin H in my life. Neither of us planned to talk as long as we did, but once we start talking it’s hard to stop. I could talk to her everyday and never get tired of her. She’s my person, my ride-or-die, my platonic soulmate, my sister. Today I’m so so thankful for my best friend.

You know when you have that person who makes your life better every time you talk to them? Who you can sit with and do nothing because you’re so comfortable around them and simply sharing the same space with them brings you peace? Who can make you laugh in any situation, no matter what’s going on? Hannah is that person to me. I literally can’t remember a time in my life when she wasn’t in it and I never want to find out what it would feel like if she wasn’t. I’ve written and erased this sentence so many times because I literally can’t put into words how much she means to me and how grateful I am to have her in my life. I could write pages and pages about her, but I want to keep this post relatively short so I’m just going to highlight a few things. She gives me motivation to keep going in life and work for my goals and dreams. She is smart and talented and gorgeous. I’m so proud of her for overcoming the challenges in her life and continuing to push on. She lights up whatever room she’s in and has this amazing talent of making people feel like they are the most amazing person in the world. I feel very blessed and privileged to be her friend.

There was something my mom said when I was young that has stuck with me all these years. She told me that the connection Hannah and I have is probably so special because we were really close before we came to this earth. She was joking a little bit, we don’t know what our pre-mortal life was like, but as soon as she said it I felt the truth of it resonate with my spirit. Our relationship is unique and I’ve never met someone who has a relationship that’s even similar to ours. I honestly feel as if my soul knows her soul and is connected to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had made a pact to go through mortality together because we knew we would need each other to get through this life. Regardless of any of that, I know Hannah was deliberately placed in my life and is one of God’s greatest blessings.
