Time

One of the sweetest things about knowing someone for a very long time is watching them grow.

People have to grow into their bodies and voices and find their own places in this world and as much as I might think I know where they will end up, I am often surprised.

Bestest has been a writer for as long as I've known him. He writes for a living. He has books that are sold with his name on them and they are wonderful books.

Yet, this year he has truly found his voice.

Now he writes with his soul as well as his head and the words touch other people in ways that could not happen if he hadn't finally found his place.
