I have a friend and she is beautiful. She is one of those people who floats into your life unassuming, almost by mistake. Or by a coincidence. Or whatever you want to call it. She has taught me so many lessons in the time we have known eachother. She’s taught me how to speak my truth, how to be true to myself, how to ask for help, and how to find my own way. 

She’s also taught me that there is no happenstance by mistake. There is no coincidence. Everything is going according to plan. 

She is gorgeous, and not the kind that you can only see, but you can feel. Her presence is warm. Her demeanor is calm and sweet. She now lives on the other side of this great big country, but she’s as close to me as she’s ever been.

Blog, meet my gypsy, Erin ❤️.

  

What. A. Babe.

So I met Erin in the most random series of events. To put our relationship to a real timeline is tough because I litch-ruh-lee feel like I’ve known her for lifetimes. And because Erin has become my own personal spirit guide, I now know I have. We could have been sisters, lovers, Indian royalty together in past lives, whatever – but I’ll tell you who she is to me in 2015. 

She is a light. She makes me light. She is the best listener on the planet. Her heart has always been an open door for me. She’s calm, she calms me. She makes me better. I have so much fulfillment from our friendship that I’ve actually had to remind myself I’m into dudes. 👭 

She has been a pillar of strength for me. She’s a constant, a confidant. She knows my biggest fears, my greatest hopes, and every disgusting and vulgar detail about me. We share stories and memes and Pins. We share love for so many different things and our opposites are what make our relationship continuously bloom. 

She has the heart of an angel. Her voice and the way she speaks is soothing and intentional. Her words are the very stardust on which my new thoughts and ideas rest on. We send eachother snail mail. But not just any snail mail, the most random box filled with love and things to lift eachother up. Or just a really pretty card. (She’s good like that. I am not)

There’s a respect I have for my friend that is rare and true. She’s witnessed and survived great loss. Yet her spirit and soul have become better and brighter, and her purpose on this planet is so much more important than we know.

She’s as true blue as they come… Like a shooting star burning her path through the universe. Leaving imprints and pulling on heart strings wherever she goes. 

Erin, I want you to know how thankful I am for the circumstances that brought us to eachother. I hope you always know I think of you as a part of my family. The role you’ve played in my life has been paramount to the 31 year old woman I am today. I love all your advice, and all your opinions. You’ve picked me up more times than I can count. You make me better 💛✨
