Stay in Bed
Warning: rare sappy and lengthy post. I implore you to jump straight into the video lol the short version is that I’m spoiled by my insanely talented bffs 🥺🥰
For my birthday this year, BV, DMB, and Yuzon surprised me with an *insert all superlatives here* original composition. The song alone is enough to make anyone feel immensely loved but the accompanying video really brought it home. It celebrates 12++ years of friendship, (mis)adventures, debauchery, and mischief. I’ve watched this at least 33 times and it still makes my heart swell every single time.
I was just quietly going through the notions of the everyday, simply trying to survive the shit show that was 2020 when, out of nowhere, I was love bombed with a song & video like this. It made me realize that there’s still so much wonder and joy left to cherish in this world. This surprise was a much needed reminder of how beautiful of a life I’ve led, largely in part to the people I have been so blessed to keep and surround myself with. I don’t know what I did to deserve them but I am beyond grateful for all the beautiful souls I get to call my family, by blood and by choice. How did I get so lucky?
To my SIBs, the real gift is your friendship. I’ll never stop thanking my lucky charms and stars that I found you in this lifetime. Love you guys so much! Til we’re old, (more) bonkers, and racing on hoverchairs xx
P.S.
I still wish I could hug you all right now 😭
