A Picture Is Worth Like, Waaaay More Words

"Ok, self, it's TBK's birthday, and you have to do something special! You're broke, really broke, so the Tiffany's BFF bracelet that you have been eye-ing will have to wait until next year. This year you're going to have to stick to something creative.. and free." *Pause for reflection* "Ok, I've got it! Write TBK a baller blog post about how much you love her and miss her and are thankful that she still admits you're her friend. Write about all of your favorite memories together: all the cities and countries you have explored together and all the holidays, parties, and festivals you've celebrated together. Tell her that she's been there when you needed her, and that you'll always be there for her, too. Oh, and also be witty and sincere and specific, and watch out for those run-on sentences, young lady! Now, Go! Write!"

Yeeeaaahhh, I'm not going to be able to do that. There is no way that I can begin to write a post that will convey how much I love, appreciate, and miss TBK! But I can remind her of some pretty wild times we've had together in the last 8 years. And imma do it with pictures!

When we spent the best summer in the history of summers in Verm recycling beer cans to make money for more beer.

When we graduated from undergrad and celebrated at Carey's with dirty girl scouts!!

When TB became TBK and she let me stand beside her as she said, "I do!"
When TBK and CS came to NYC for New Year's Eve!

 TBK, Sorry this isn't a Tiffany's BFF bracelet, and sorry it's not a ground-breaking piece of literary genius. It's just me telling you, Happy Birthday!! I love you!

Let July be July

By Morgan Harper Nichols Even here, you are growing. When August is approaching and you feel a little restless thinking about how this month might end and how this year might end and how you are supposed to start again, you are growing, you are growing, in grace courage strength. And it is okay if it does not feel like it. It is okay if there are moments where you cannot see the way you have grown, because far beneath the surface the seeds have still been sown. The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings. So much is changing around you but you are changing, too. You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you. It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
