7.23.25 best friends

i hung out with my grandma again today. it was wonderful hearing her laugh. for the first time, i found myself asking her, "grandma, what about today tired you?" ah she's so sweet. she still asks about you actually.

i've been consistently taking a lot better care of myself. lots of exercise- lots with family and friends. started a skin care routine- and i see the results! my skin is glowing, i feel younger. i just think everyone around me-my partners, deserve the best version of me, both emotionally and physically.

i mentioned it here and there before, but i never cemented how i truly felt.

i am so freaking proud of you. so freaking much.

you moved out by yourself. i know it was hard.

you survived the worst version of me. i know that was hell.

i am so proud of you.

it brings my mind so much ease that i'm talking to an ellen in a world where i knew better. in a world where we were still best friends.

how are you? what's been heavy on your mind lately?
