Cohort of Awesome

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to-letting a person be what he really is. – Jim Morrison

My Cohort of Awesome
This elite group knows and accepts the real me…the hard shell with soft underbelly me.
They call bullshit on my bullshit.
They get it when I need to go inward and need to be alone.
They are there to celebrate my highs and help me laugh through my lows.
They are the ones who said, “I’m here for you” and proved it…again and again.
They allow me to do the same for them.
They never make me feel like I have to fight for their time and attention or insist myself upon them.
They don’t judge me when I have Tiramisu for lunch and then complain about feeling sick afterward.
They are the reason Wine Sundays exist!

My Cohort of Awesome:
The one who has been putting up with my special brand of crazy for more than 25 years.
The one who is always up for a Tiramisu date.
The one who I can get lost on an island with.
The one I met and fell in love with the first day of 6th Form orientation.
The one I can send a “sweet” email and who reads between the lines.
The one who brings me homemade wine and leaves me changed forever.
The one who helped me through the worst September of my life.
The one I just “clicked” with.

My Cohort of Awesome.
The Family I happily chose.
