friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Thick & Thin, Forever: The End.
TWIYS Media LLC was nothing more than a dialogue that was instigated and then coaxed out of me, by an individual named Daniel Gross, If you google Daniels name, you will discover—like I did—that he sits on the board of one of the most prestigious start-up incubators this side of the equator. In fact: Y-Combinator is actually valuated at 100B all things considered. Don't believe me? Not a worry just take a minute to hit that clickable link I left for you to fact check me, I'll wait!

What's Full Bloom Without You
The journey has been long, the ride hasn't stopped - you've been by my side since as far back as I can recall. In times like these where friendships are hard to find - especially hard to keep, you're there. Three years ago we decided to move across the country and ditch our selected colleges, we'd become blissed in walking free. California was never in our plans but once we tasted it we knew we'd never be going back. Our families fought us to tell them what had happened - how could we change our minds so abruptly! To say they were pissed is little. We made it out, we got to California.

Absolute Best Friend
My best friend Kim and I were a couple of square pegs that shared a crush for a blue-eyed skater boy, and a desire to be noticed. The crush passed, and Kim and I began plotting a path to popularity. Looking back, it was all so silly, but the journey made us best friends forever. It was an adventure that I am shocked we survived. From one dangerous turn to the next we are so lucky to have made it through alive and well. I met a boy in a band that practiced in a storage facility that was a common place for bands to practice at that time. Any given weekend you could find several bands playing around trying to hone their craft. It was the eighties and long-haired boys with skinny slick pants playing their way towards unlimited drugs and girls was a common goal for most of the musically inclined. We planned a weekend party to end all parties. The invitation was a flyer strung across our high school campus. Our contribution was three trashcans filled with punch, spiked with 180 proof Everclear. Once we ran out of punch (and we did run out fast) Kim and I had a couple of college boys drive us to the liqueur store. We rode in the back of a truck for safety purposes; it made good sense at the time. After the boys bought us more Everclear, we dared each other to take a swig of the liquor straight up. I imagine that is what getting shot in the chest feels like. It knocked me over and I almost fell out of the truck bed. More than a minute passed without the feeling of air entering my lungs. I am not sure how many times we came close to death that night, but the party was a smash hit. Unfortunately, no one really knew we were the host; no one even knew who we were. The bands gained a new following and however depth-less their intentions, their immense talent thrived. This was the start of a trend in our lives; one which grew into hit local businesses for booking and promoting much later in life.

My bestie, my partner in crime, my sister from another mister, the other pea in my pod
Dearest Rach I wanted you to know I look at my tattoo every day and think of you, although you are on the other side of the world now I know you are always there for me and when I look at the heart on my finger, I smile where ever I am and my heart swells with love.

Rumours of the rink
“Focus.” Their coach snapped her fingers, getting the attention of the skater. They were watching the pair that was currently practicing, watching how well they worked together. Stuck in a state of being mesmerized. They barely even processed much.

Not One but Two Great Friends: The Birth of the Sexy Tri-Pod
University was a very strange time for me. It was a goal that I was striving to accomplish throughout my time at school, I had finally completed this great educational goal. However, my personal life had been shot to pieces. I was entering this big new world with very little confidence in who I was and what I wanted from life. It even got to the point where once I was finally at uni I wasn’t sure I could make it through the three years in one piece. What brought me back from the edge was meeting two wonderful people…

MY FABULOUS SADIA
Dearest Fabulous Sadia, I am so excited! I discovered a place where we can rent one of those sparkly, rhinestone covered Mercedes we always joke about. Now the next time you come to the States, we’ll take that drive down Pacific Coast Highway in style, with the roof down and our hair blowing in the ocean breeze.

A Heartfelt Thank You To The Best Friend Any Person Could Ever Have
Dear Jess, I am writing this letter to you today to thank you for always being there for me whenever I needed you. You and I have been friends for 17 years and I swear our friendship just grows stronger with each and every single passing day, in fact you have become more than just my best friend; you have become my sister. You have seen me through 2 divorces and multiple bad relationships, you’ve seen me through lost babies, mental breakdowns, bad choices, and we’ve even had a lot of fun together. You’ve stayed up on the phone into the early morning hours joking around with me or just talking about anything and everything. We share the same views and hold the same morals and we like the same movies as well as music. You were there to encourage me when I was a single mom to two young kids working two jobs just to put myself through school while also supporting my children. You never allowed me to ever believe that I couldn’t do something. I honestly don’t know how it is you even deal with me at times. You have kept me sane when all I wanted to do was fall apart. You have listened to me cry over lost relationships, you know all my secrets, you know all there is to know about me and you never once judged me. You have never once turned your back on me and for all of this I am and always will be eternally grateful. I can never put into proper words just how much it means to me just having you in my life. You make the baddest of days seem not so bad and you make the good days even better. I could never even if I were to live a million years ever thank you enough for always being there to help me to pick up the pieces of my shattered life. You are funny, caring, smart, selfless, and humble. You are a beautiful person inside as well as outside. I really don’t think I would still be here on this Earth if I had never met you. You are and always will be my very best friend. You give me strength to go on when all I want to do is give in. I appreciate every single thing you have done and continue to do for me. If there were more people like you this world would be a much better place. Please always remember how very special you are and how I look forward to each and every single time we talk. You and I are going to be friends forever. You and I are going to be the crazy old ladies in the nursing home racing our wheelchairs up and down the halls screaming with glee while driving the staff as well as the other residents crazy lol. So here is to another fifty years of laughter and tears. G-d willing we live that long lol. I really just can not seem to find the words to properly thank you. I look forward to all that the future brings for us. I can’t wait for the day when we become grandmothers to beautiful babies whom we will brag about to everyone and be showing off their pictures all over Facebook. Somehow knowing that I have you in my life makes the future seem not as scary as it would if I had to face it alone. I really and truly believe G-d made us friends for a reason. I truly believe that you and I will be best friends for the rest of our lives and maybe even into the afterlife. I love you so very much forever and always.
