people are so warm, kind, and appreciative of how I've helped them w dealing w stuff but honestly my learning curve in life has been a steep one and I so much of it to 3-4 of my college best friends

the loml, my best friend, saw my potential even tho she met me when I was depressed, insecure, & hella socially anxious. She's been my biggest cheerleader & anchor; through the good, bad, & ugly.

I owe so much of my life to her, I've become a better person, by being her friend. There isn't enough gratitude I can express for it.

And what makes all of them so so special is that we're different people with different interests and personalities. but they've always been so understanding, kind, and loving. Even with complex things they haven't experienced.

I miss them all so much becz we're scattered across different cities and even continents. It seems like a lifetime ago when we'd just plop on one of our beds and contemplate going out for paani puri and chaat before the 10pm hostel curfew.

they've seen me at my worst- behaviour and life circumstances. But they've only loved me harder for it. and through it all, taught me so much.

College was a fucking rollercoaster & I look back w so many mixed feelings. but I will always be grateful becz it gave me these friends.
