soul sisters

it is a gift to know hannah.

i marvel every time i think about our friendship. that it all started outside polworth, with hannah breaking character and boldly asking, "courtney?" and me, relieved to find a friendly face in an unfamiliar city.

that was almost four years ago.

what is more of a gift is that i get to see her at least once a year even though the atlantic ocean separates us.

and that our fights are the best: (1) over grilled cheese and (2) "AT LEAST YOU GOT A SECOND FALAFEL!" i can't wait for the third fight. should be sometime in the next 2 years.

anyway, i think hannah is my soul sister. there are so many things we have in common that are quite odd. we've just discovered that everyone thinks both of us have really great teeth from the outside, but actually we have terrible teeth on the inside. also, we have the same awful hair which we are both learning to appreciate.

ultimately, i just love our conversation. and how hilarious we are. and how much i consistently learn from her. and how we understand each other. and that even though thousands of miles insist on separating us - we are still best friends.

this is us on the way to the top of the prudential. we wore $10 jeans that we bought together and our friendship necklaces. we sat overlooking the city, drinking gin and tonics, and discussing graham greene. it was a truly beautiful moment.

to friendship.
