Do you know what's amazing? The fact that at the age of 22, I can already say that I have had the 2 best friends in the world, and they've been a staple in my life for over 10 years already. Since the beginning of 6th grade we swooned over really dumb guys and ate way to much junk food together, we've lost loved ones together, started new steps in our lives together, and were able to find our individual selves together without fear of judgement or close mindedness. We weren't anything alike to begin with but managed to fit perfectly while we grew up. I started calling them my sisters very early on, and the feeling has grown stronger since. In college we separated to 3 different colleges. But with only a two hour drive apart from each of us, we were able to function and see each other when we needed it.
That is about to change. One of my best friends (and favorite models to use) is taking a big step in her life to make her dreams happen. She is leaving in exactly a week to New York City to find a job in the fashion photography business. And she's going to do it, and be amazing. She will no longer be 2 hours from me, but I know she will be in the city she has wanted to call home for a long time. As you can imagine, I am going to be a wreck. I will probably be spending way too much money to see our other sister Nicole in Morrisville, and buy way too many tickets to go visit NYC when times get tough.
I was lucky enough to have her here in Charlotte for the entire summer, a 15 minute drive away from my house, but I know that will make it harder when she leaves. I got depressed while doing homework today and decided to go through old photos of use we put on facebook back in 2006 (isn't it sad that I've had a facebook for that long?). I thought I'd share a few since they make my so happy. Please keep her in your thoughts as she leaves next week, and keep me in your thoughts, since I'm not going to know what to do with myself.
