This home is home and all that I need

I jokingly tweeted on my birthday that I had never had a boyfriend on my birthday but this year I had a house, so I win. I may have said it tongue and cheek but it rings true of my life right now. The past two months have been a tidal wave of emotions, stress, and life moments. I'm sure it would have been wonderful to have a boy there to come over and vent to/watch a movie with/just talk to. I had one better, my incredible friends. And yes, Julie may be my mom, but she is at the top of my best friends list. I had text messages every morning at 6am from Sara, g-chats from Jenn before my tea had even steeped, surprise flower arrangements showing up at the front desk, encouraging notes from Knoxville and DC, and lots of Mean Girl related wall posts to make me laugh. And of course, lots of nights blowing into the laundry room and scaring everyone at dinner. I stumbled upon this song two weeks ago. At first I immediately correlated it with losing my grandmother, "everything goes away." But when you really listen to the lyrics, it's about two best friends. All the trials they go through, what finally separates them, and all the times they leaned on each other. Which is why, I return to my Wordy Wednesday roots for this post. Radical Face, I discovered you through a Pandora binge during finals Sophomore year of college, and here you are four years later still putting my life into lyrics. You girls will be Always Gold to me.
