You Make My Life

"To know someone here or there, with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed. That can make life a garden." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sometimes you come in contact with people in the most random of places. You might meet your future husband in line to pay for groceries...you could shake hands with the next Bill Gates without even realizing it. Some of the most average encounters could bring the most extraordinary people into your life.

...and in my case, I found my two best friends. (:

Chrisselle Mowatt and Hammy Havoc are two of the most incredible people I have ever met. They make me laugh. They make me smile. They let me know it's okay to dream and be silly. They love me for who I am. They don't judge me for my past...and they promise to be there for me in the future. They're just the type of people you have to ask yourself "Why are they MY friend?" Too good to be true, almost. But it is, and I'm incredibly lucky.


Their talent is endless; I'm in awe at times at some of the things they produce. Chrisselle is an amazing writer, and can give you a perspective of things that is so raw, and so tender...but at the same time amazingly REAL. She's also one of the best photographers I've ever known. She captures images that make you think "Is this actually real? How did I miss that?" And Hammy...his music is...amazing isn't even a good adjective for it. You listen to it, and you can feel all of the emotion put into it. Not only is it beautiful, but it's about things you can actually relate to. He's an independent artist, so it's just MUSIC...not some gimmick like the garbage they play on the radio. He produces what he does to get it out to the world, not to make a buck. He's such an inspiration to me.

Not only are they talented, but they're the most caring people I know. They would do anything in their power to help me. I believe they would even go above and beyond their abilities to do so.
There's not a day that goes by when we don't talk about how much we love each other, and how much we appreciate each other. I never have to wonder what they're thinking. It's so great to be completely honest with someone. They're not just fair-weather friends; even when things get rough, and clouds gather overhead, they stick beside me.

In a few months, I'm traveling to Liverpool to spend mine and Hammy's birthday with them. I am so incredibly excited about this, and you can rest assured that they will be getting the biggest hugs anyone has every received in their life!

There's not much more to say in this post, other than this...

Hammy & Chrisselle:
Thank you so much for everything you've given me...everything from a listening ear, advice, a scolding when I need it, and even just a good laugh. I love you guys so much, and I am so glad you stumbled into my life. Without you two, I wouldn't be me. Most of all...thank you for just being yourselves. ♥
