Even the sun is jealous of the way YOU shine.

"Certain people enter our lives at the most random times, for the most beautiful reasons."

It's true. And I am so incredibly grateful that this woman is in my life, despite it being via the internet.
Hannah Gayle Wheatley is sixteen years old today. Did you know that? Sixteen years has this planet been graced with her presence. Me? I've only known her for two. And even then we weren't very close emotionally, and never have been close physically. Stupid distance.
2010 was the year our friendship grew, and I'm always going to remember that? Even if neither of us can remember the day. We went through a lot of crap together. Breakups, surgeries, fights, and our multiple mental issues (yeah, we're both crazy, you get used to it). But between all of the bad things were our matching toe nails, and paper bows; Letters in the trash can and matching bracelets with one still unmade [don't hate me]; and the deep talks that got us through the day and whatever we happened to be going through.
& Sometimes.. Sometimes we're too damn similar for our own goods.

She's beautiful. Inside and out. She's the girl who needs to help. You need to talk, or rant, or need some bloody advice? She's there. Even when it'd be healthier for her to decline, she helps. She astounds me.

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember: You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you."


I'm still sort of doped up, so I'm using some of my last awesomely fantastical wall post about this woman:
"She's beautiful, and she'd better know it. Music is her life, literally. Ask for a good song, she'll give you five. She hates pants and loves band. She's the light to his dark and obsessed with her friends. When she smiles her whole face lights up. And yeah, her heart's been broken.But you know what? She's got a passion for life that could rival that of some of the greatest artists in history, and she's happy, which is more than a lot of people can say these days.
She's my sister.

I'm unsure of the exact date, and I wish I wasn't, but I know 2010 was brilliant, if only because we became closer. I wish my memory was as strong as a vampire's. I wish I could remember every little detail of every conversation I've ever h...ad, not only with you, but with everyone.
We may not have been close for very long, but it feels like a lifetime? Your creeping skills are unmet by anyone, but you tend to rub off those tendencies on other people. I love our random creepy jaunts around Facebook, or Xanga. I love the quotes we find that remind us of each other, or random moments we've shared, or people we know. I love letting your boyfriend believe I want to shag you, even if it creeps you out. PAYBACK. [: I love our liquidy children and our screaming wars and awkward videos that we make for each other. I hate that we both have those moods, and that they enjoy taking place at the same time. But it's great that we still manage to help each other through them.

I know I get on your nerves sometimes, but you're my best friend. This whole distance thing may suck, but some things transcend time and space. I'll try not to post another emotional story on your wall after this, for a while, at least. We'
ll keep our love hidden.
By the way, I was going to say somewhere in there that you are the Banana [Hannah] to my Kitty [Tabie], but realized the obvious innuendo in that, and felt it was a little too inappropriate to use. Until now. Because it's got an explanation with it now."
"It’s the friend that stuck by you through everything that matters; the one that you have known your whole life, or just a year, and yet you feel connected to them in a completely different way than you do anyone else around you. At most times, they feel more like your family then your real one. They understand that the world can be a tough place, and they let you cry when bad things happen, but they always manage to make you smile again. It’s the friend that you call at 5am because you fought with some stupid boy and she helps you plot revenge against him even though she doesn’t even know him. They give you that extra energy to smile because you know that they’re right beside you whenever you need them."



You're an amazing person, Miss Wheatley. I can't even think of how different my life would be if I hadn't met you. I just know that I can't picture my life without you now, and if I were ever to lose you... Well, it'd top one of Shakespeare's plays, that's for damn sure. I know things have been crazy lately, but you'll get through this. Because you're you, and because you have so many people behind you.

Have a fantastic sixteenth year, sister. You deserve it, and so much more.
