Confidence booster and music
Amelia and I started hanging out in 2005. It was an unlikely friendship because, honestly, we seemed so different. A mutual friend assured me that she was cool so I went with him to get her. She sat in the front seat of the car and the silence was akward. Then she put a CD in the CD player and she seemed to have a mix of all of my favorite songs!! We immediatly clicked from that day on. I looked up to her, really. She had this confidence that girls only wished they had. It was truly a gift.
One day we were at my house getting ready to go out for the night. I put on my sweatshirt and was getting ready to go out the door. Then she asked me, " why do you always wear that hoodie? You have such a great body." I replied that I just didn't feel confident in anything else. She refused to leave the house if I wore the hoody. So, she gave me one of her shirts. I put it on and we left the house. That night I met the love of my life and he LOVED the shirt I was wearing. From that day on I had the confidence to be comfortable in my own skin. For that, I am forever in her debt. Thank you Amelia for making me feel okay for being me. I love you girl.
