Favorite Quote:
"Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."
—J.K. Rowling


She’s a girlfriend to everybody.
Cute and flirty and beautiful
But boyish at the same time.
You want her
As a best friend
Or a girlfriend.
She’s endearing, self-deprecating,
And unconditionally loving.
You miss her when she’s gone.
You need her approval.
You crave her affection
Because she’s so different.
She seeks your advice, and you feel proud.
The dumbest jokes
Spawn from your time with her.
She’ll make you laugh until you cry
And cry until you’ve begun to drown.
One-in-a-million.
You can’t imagine how
You lived before you met her.
