It was an average school day, none out of the ordinary. Two friends, chatting. At one point, Corey mentions an app named "Pop Punk Amino". He had asked if I had the app but I'd never heard of it before, so he asked for me to install it and that it's a great app for people to connect and have fun chatting. Initially, I was extremely intrigued and decided to check it out. It was honestly the right thing to do! As I spent some time joining group chats and sharing my journey with others, I joined a few groups and made some new friends! It was a really nice thing, being able to find people across the world who are just like you and learn more about their life and those little quirks you figure out when you're friends with someone for awhile.
After about a month or so, I joined yet another chat of the name I can't remember, and there was just this girl who stood out like she was the only star in the middle of the darkness in the sky. Her personality was quirky, and just how she typed those words I could imagine what she was like in real life, and just not over a screen. I had never seen her face or heard her voice but something about her just left me wanting to speak to her every single day. And her name was Taneesha. What a beautiful name I thought, I knew I had to befriend her as soon as possible, otherwise.. I would've lost her. She was somebody I had never met but as soon as we spoke with each other days on end messaging back and forth, I felt as if she had been with me for years. I just knew I wanted to be by Taneesha's side for a long time, and although it wasn't love, I imagined her as my sister I was best friends with.
Let alone did we know what I had wished for was soon to come true. It was the start of one of the best friendships we both could've either had.
