So it’s the new year. But I can’t say goodbye to 2017 without making this post.

This past year has been amazing on a personal level. So many good things happened and whilst I know as a whole it was a shitty year, I would look back at 2017 with fondness.

But I just want to end the year right and talk about two of the best things to happen to me this year.

Firstly, @kyleraysner.

I first started talking to her... I don’t know on the 8th of January i think. Back then I obviously didn’t know she would end up being one of my closest friends. She was this hyper, hilarious person that I thought was gonna be just another mutual I’ll sparodically have conversations with. But throughout the year, I could count on one hand the number of days we have gone without some sort of communication. Be it texting, sending a post or tagging each other on tumblr, actual phone conversations or skype dates. She knows my deepest, darkest thoughts - the ones I have a kept a secret from so many people. She’s seen (or heard) me angry, frustrated, scared, worried, estatic, sad, happy and she’s always there to give me some encouranging words or to call me a cunt and make me forget about whatever shit I’m going through. We’ve gone through multiple crisis, plenty of pun battles, lived through various highs and some lows and survived plenty of anxiety-inducing moments in our lives. Sometimes it surprises me how in sync we are. We are such complete opposites but at the same time we are also so very similar.

I can’t explain to you how important she is to me. Just trust me when I say that she is. If platonic soulmates are a thing, I think she’s mine. I hope I’ve been as good a friend to her as she has been to me.

Speaking of soulmates, the next person I want to talk about is Emily’s girlfriend, my wonderfully talented, painfully English friend @haljordon.

I remember the first time I spoke to Jo. I asked her about the Pacific and if I should watch it. I started following her last year because of Black Sails (i think) but never really spoke to her until late last year. The beginning of our friendship was purely fandom based - we share similar interests so it wasn’t hard to find a new topic to talk about. And then she drew me a picture of Anne Bonny and I knew I had to keep her. But our friendship really took off after I introduced her to Emily and Emily made the group chat that would end up being the most fun I would have chatting to people in a group. I got to know the incredibly old soul that lives in a (then) 19 year old body. I discovered her quirks, her love for old anything, her love for basic white men, her ‘tubelight’-ness but also her ridiculous sense of humour, her kindness, her honesty. I cannot imagine my life without her.

When Emily and Jo started dating, (you’re welcome btw. Just call me cupid. A very persistent, angry cupid but cupid none the less) I was afraid the dynamics of the group will change - that I’d be the odd one out looking in but honestly nothing has changed. They are both massive losers still (they’re just bigger saps now) and we are still going through the group chat one inside joke after another. They never made me feel like a third wheel, although I am (but I guess they do all their sappy shit in PC - thank fuck!) so I’m grateful for that.

They have helped me through my final year in med school in ways they will probably never know but I am forever grateful.

Cunts, I love you both. And just know that if we ever end up distant and not on speaking terms, I would still love and treasure the fuck out of you two.
