Jess is classic bold elegance. She knows who she is, and is unforgiving with being exactly that person. My greatest quality I love of Jess is simply that. Jess is stunning in any view and form. She is the most photogenic and "enjoying the moment" person I know. She speaks her mind and if someone doesn't like it, she doesn't let it change her or even stop her from loving them. Her name just goes hand in hand with lovely. She walks with grace and confidence in the future. When she opens her mouth to speak of things pertaining to the gospel I always get the chills and my heart gets warm. She doesn't know that however. Her soul is strong and full of faith. Jess has such an amazing talent with saying the exact words needed when it counts the most. I still have a note in my phone that says "Jess called me nurturing today. It's exactly what I didn't know I needed to hear. She made me feel good about myself." She has always been so great at making me truly believe and feel deep down that I'm important and valued. That's a hard, hard thing to make someone feel their importance and she does it with ease. She is confident and elegant. Jess has a gift in the way that she makes herself and others feel the worth of their soul as God sees it. She is my forever friend.
Emi is a quiet passionate. As soon as I met her the first time I instantly felt like we clicked as friends. We have so much fun together. She gets my awkward and helps me realize life doesn't have to be heavy and to just laugh it off. She hides a lot of herself, which is both beautiful and frustrating. Nevertheless, I wouldn't change her in any way. She surprises me in ways that show how incredibly strong she is as a person so much I feel sometimes I don't know her as I thought I had. I've still yet been able to grasp how much she just progresses and improves everyday in the best ways. I remember going to the temple with her and feeling the spirit stronger than I ever had any time going before then. I literally felt the love Christ had for her. I hadn't ever felt a feeling like that in my entire life. I'm not sure I told her that. Mostly because I have no words to explain it and I don't think she could comprehend it (as neither could I) but I know I will never forget that feeling. I knew she was so important to have in my life at that moment. Her determination and strive for constant growth in her testimony and desires has impacted my life and I can say full heartedly I needed her as my friend. She is something absolutely exquisite if you get the chance to truly know and see her. Delicate and graceful yet powerful, passionate and determined. Emi has the gift of making me (continually) confident in finding myself, being myself and loving myself. Emi is my forever friend.
Mel is my first call. My go to for everything life. It fathoms me, honestly can't begin to comprehend how she doesn't see how absolutely close to the Savior that she constantly is. And I get to say that because the amount of times she has said something that only the spirit knew I needed is endless. Mel became my friend in the ninth grade and my life was forever changed for the best after that. Mel is my hero. My greatest example. She is as close as it gets to perfection inside and out. She reminds me of all the great women in the scriptures that you read about. Her soul is made up of entirely all great things. Selfless. Humble. Faithful. She is it all. Yet she sees so little of it. Shes frustrating in that way. She is sass. She is forgetfulness. And she pushes people away when she needs them the most. She's sensitive and takes things to heart (with careful consideration). She doesn't give up and is stubborn in that way. Her stress and worry comes from watching out for others feelings. That is something that will never become weak in her. Many times I've just looked over at Mel to see her admiring and striving to understand the world around her. She's grateful. Mel is my support and encouragement for better things. Mel's gift is her selfless-ness and genuine-ness. She brings about miracles. Or in my case was one for me as she came into my life at a time I needed someone exactly who she was. She is the friend you search an entire lifetime for and I feel blessed to of only had to look for 15ish years, here's to eternity of friendship. Mel is my forever friend.
