you have such a tenderness and so much love inside your heart and i love how you can put that into your words, being just the sweetest person in the world is definitely your digital footprint. Although we don’t know each other personally, i definitely feel that coming from you and i’m reminded of how lucky i am to have met you here every time you post. Wishing you and sofia the best things because if you guys have such a bond, it’s because she definitely is another sweetheart!!!! Love you so much!!! 🩷🥹✨💌🫶🏻

im reading this article like a mont after you published it, but this made me so too happy.

my bestfriend is the friend of a friend and in our last year of high school we became best friends and im so lucky to have her in my life. we clicked really fast and trauma-dumped in each other (lmao) at just few days of being at the same classroom. but now, in this summer I left Mexico and I came to the states, but even with that, I feel that our friendship is stronger than ever, we talk almost everyday and in those days that we don't talk were always sending each other tiktoks lmao.

we're in different countries, but I feel her closer than ever.

now im kinda scared about founding new friends (im starting college until next year) and this article make me feel in peace after long minutes of anxiety and overthinking about if im going to make friends it a city that, even that I feel very familiar bc I spend a lot of my time coming here since I was a child, im not going to find "my people".

female friendship is such a amazing thing that I feel so grateful to experience it in my life.

pd.sorry for any typos, English isn't my first language hehe.

I genuinely feel like this is written by me in four years time. I’ve met my now best friends two semesters ago on my first day at uni in my first ever lecture, saw her and decided that we’re friends. Funnily enough her name is Sophia with a ph and we too are a dark haired and light haired duo.
