My good friend has her big day today in New York and there's a few people I know she wishes could be there with her. It hit me a little while ago and I thought to myself, this girl deserves better than that. So rather than the normal obligatory congratulation post, I got her cool ass sister in Oakland to say a few words from the heart;

My beautiful sister, I can so clearly remember the day you left home for Paris. I cried, not because you were moving on but because I was so wonderfully proud of you. You have so gracefully shown me the many beauty's life has to offer and I am overwhelmed with love and happiness for the person you've grown to be. The bond between us is that of unimaginable love that I hope to be able to bring to you each and every day. I can not tell you how much I look up to you and how much I always have. So today I will cry again, in celebration of the beginning of a new chapter in your life and the many accomplishments you have made along the way.


Love, your little sister

*Huge thank you to Yelena for that. To any and all graduates this year, thank you for sticking to it! Thank you for working diligently and making yourselves walking, shouting examples of the heights you can reach! You make the world a better place. And to Amk, Gift and Sav, I'm proud of you girls. You bitches will run the world.
