Three friendly quilts

Three strings

each woven from a different material

braided

into one.

That's us

we're all different

but we found ways to wind our hearts together

how to connect with each other.

The capability of friendship

talking about nothing

and everything

at the same time

a balanced relationship of laughs and tears

hopes and dreams

longings and sadness.

We balance one another

a three-sided scale

a circle

where each person is next to everyone else.

We're each quilts

and when we start to fray and tear

we get patches

memories of hardships

but souvenirs of connection

love

friendship.

    It's December already

    I've been alive for over thirteen years

    over thirteen years of learning and growing

    making mistakes and accomplishing feats

    of finding myself and uncovering layers in not only myself

  • Best friend

    Your new-ish house

    your dog sleeping on the rug

    my family and your family chatting comfortably

    your kitchen with your hot chocolate

    the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island

    that's one of my happy places
