The time has finally come and one of my best friends is off to pursue her own adventure. Her partner is from Israel and she is going there to meet up with him and then there is talk of them settling down in Toronto. It’s a bitter sweet day where on the one hand I’m so excited that she is living a dream that I only dare think about. On the other, my best friend isn’t going to be just around the corner anymore and I don’t know how long it will be till I see her again.
Sarah and I met when we were 5; we have been friends for 19 years! 19 years!! That’s older than my sister and over three quarters of my life. She knows everything there is to know about me; the good, the bad, the ugly and she accepts me for me. I took the day off to spend the day with her along with 3 other girls - it’s been a tough day. Every time I get the chance to reflect, my eyes begin to swell up with tears and we haven’t even reached the airport yet.
It was also a good day where together we cooked breakfast ate lunch and baked cupcakes. Eating and laughing just the way we always are and always will be.

Yeps, quarter life crisis is just around the corner, digital cameras tend not to be a good idea when one is intoxicated. :P
