i'm thankful for all my best friends i've had throughout the years... but i'm so glad i've been friends with alissa this last year. seriously, what a good time to meet a super encouraging inspiring artist friend. and it's often hard to make good friends, and then some people you just click with...and that's awesome. and getting to know all her other inspiring friends...that's super rad too... hooray!
my grandma still hangs out with friends from kindergarten, and college. and this weekend my dad's sailing with his two best friends from high school/college... so yeah... most of my friends i've had the longest i met in high school, and then just in the last few years...
but i want to have friends for a long time, and i was glad this year that i ran into and reconnected with two best friends where we'd had weird break-ups sort of (mostly my fault..eep). the awkwardness was worth it, just to know we don't hate each other. and it's not like we've hung out much yet, but at least that huge weight is gone, and our friendships are opened back up, so whether we hang out a lot or never, everything just feels better.
and a year ago i wouldn't've been posting drawings online... cuz last summer i was like "i suck at drawing." so who knows, maybe next summer, i'll be riding bikes to the IPRC. hehe!
