Dear Kelsey,

I admired you from afar, and then that day on our first morning breakfast that felt like it was our hundredth morning brunch, I loved you from the get-go.

You feel like a friend I've known for ages, not just a few months. Your heart is one of the most encouraging, life affirming beating organs I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I wish I could bottle up all of the goodness that surrounds you, if only to sprinkle it back on you on the days you're feeling less than.

I'm so thankful for the few times we've spent together so far. They're rejuvenated my soul and truly felt like a well of fresh water. Your faith and reassurance during the season of my life in which we first met has meant more to me than you'll know. Thank you, and I love you. And I think you're the most badass creative inspiration in all of Austin. For real, my friend.
