a tribute to livis.

sometimes it takes seeing

 your best friend from elementary 

school for the first time in far too long to 

make you realize life's not all that bad.

Its been five years. five whole years since i sat down and talked to this girl. Truly opened up one on one heart to heart and just talked to her. this girl who i swore would always be by my side, my very best friend. five years is far too long and spending just a couple hours with her made me see what i've been missing out on for so long. it was so sweet to see her and truth be told it made me miss her even more.
when your little. everything is so simple everything makes since. there was no reason in the world why we wouldn't be friends. it just wouldn't happen. how can you go from that to seeing this person that meant the entire world to you only a handful of times in five years? Life continues to flow faster than you can even think and five years fly by faster than you ever would have imagined they could. Then somehow everything lines up perfectly and that person falls back into your life unexpectedly. and you're thinking in awe really? how in the world? but god doesn't make mistakes. seeing her. listening to her tell me about how life's been hard but its worth it, made me realize i feel the exact same way.
Olivia is sweet and she is kind and she is unbelievably beautiful. Life has sure handed her more than her share of lemons that she hasn't deserved or expected. I look at the way she has flawlessly taken on every struggle and trial and hard thing in her life and let it form her into such a beautiful person and I'm awestruck. She is truly amazing and absolutely beautiful.

so heres to a new start.
for you.
and for me.
and for our friendship.
i sure have missed you!

yours-nollis ;)
