My best friend in the world moved to Colorado a couple of years ago, and I finally made it out to visit her in this wild and beautiful state. We have been best friends for 13 years, and have gone through so many huge phases and changes together, both difficult and incredible. We met on a club volleyball team in 2002, where we quickly earned a reputation of being a boisterous and crazy duo, laughing constantly at everyone and everything around us. With that, our parents gave us the appropriate name "TNT" (Tierney and Tami) because we were like dynamite together. It's impossible to have a dull moment or conversation, unless we are focused on watching Harry Potter, then there will be no talking. We still talk basically every day, blowing up each other's phones with text rants about our aimless inner dialogues, and often super deep and meaningful, soul-connecting, life-changing thoughts.
We hold a sacred vault to each other's innermost honest emotions and raw experiences, and it feels amazing knowing how safe and secure those vulnerabilities are with someone who will love you and be there for you no matter what. To have that in a best friend is truly a gift. Our relationship from day one has been an adventure, molding us closer through all the changes we've gone through together, and all the similar dreams we have. T is a remarkably insightful, smart, selfless, sensitive, and badass woman that I'm proud to know, much less call my best friend. I really don't know where I'd be without her. Yay T, here's to all the adventures we have ahead of us. Thank you for this amazing road trip through beautiful Colorado that you planned so carefully. It was amazing. You are my soul sister. Love, T.
