There was not a world in which this scenario ever existed to me. That’s how bizarre it’s felt 🤯 I’ll back up. So, there are “best friends” & there is that next level friendship. Family, soul sisters, whatever you want to call it, it’s special; the type of unspoken connection that will last a lifetime. These are mine. Arica & Brianna are my friends of 22 and 10 years, from my different phases of life in California & Kentucky, respectively. They’ve never met, only heard about each other over the years. And through a Devine plan, these two amazing humans from completely different worlds and parts of my life, who had never met before last month... are now living 50 steps from each other in a quaint Florida beach town. And the best part... they already love each other so much. It’s been the most beautiful, crazy series of events and I am SO happy. I’m in Chicago and my closest friends live all over the country. I’ve felt this deep sadness recently that I feel so distant and I’ve struggled to be a good friend because it truly takes work. This whole thing has hit me pretty hard, realizing I NEED my friends more than I realized. And as you can imagine, I’m planning to book a lot of new work there, making it a heavier base for my business. We won’t be moving to Florida anytime soon, but I definitely want to spend as much time with this beautiful crazy situation as I can! ✈️🌴 #thatsmybestfriend #redingtonbeach #stpetersburg #centralflorida #madeirabeach #stpetephotographer #tampaphotographer #centralfloridaphotographer
