This summer, I went hiking with my best friend. Our moms had each other in the same hospital just a few days apart. She is older than me by 2 days and currently lives in SoCal, so it was really nice to see her and speak to her again.
This is the highlight of my summer because my best friend has changed so much through the years that I have known her. She makes me want to change to become a better person for myself and for the people I love. Just seeing her makes me very hopeful of my future and what I can accomplish. I just love when she comes back to visit because I hear all the stories of her great adventures and life changing experiences of her reinventing herself and finding her purpose in life.
