happy birthday billie dear!

“Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.”

If you know me then you know that I’m a sucker for all things sentimental… So here is a little tribute to one of my favorite friends on her birthday:

Billie is funny… she always makes me laugh. And she always laughs at my jokes and makes me feel like I’m really witty. She’s also a really good doodler. This makes me jealous. My doodles look like scribbles but hers look like art. She always makes me feel good about myself. She served Laffy Taffy at her wedding. She let me crash on her couch for a month before I moved to England. She (and Brian) are the funnest people to watch TV with. (thanks for not getting sick of me spending so much time on your futon!) Whenever I hang out with Billie I feel like I’m my best version of me. You know what I mean… I hope. She’s one of the kindest people I know and has such a good heart. I don’t know if she knows this but the day after she got married I cried and cried because I realized I was going to miss having such a great friend as a roommate and I was afraid we wouldn’t stay friends after she got married. Thank goodness I was wrong!!

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
———-
No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
———-
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
———-
Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.
