Sarah, love you lots. But I wouldn’t wear these even if you paid me, except the peach enamel pin. And Bad Liar, lol since I’m a pathological liar according to Amy (I’m werkin on it OKKKK?)
I miss you and Amy daily, I think about you both. Really hope you guys are doing well, I love you both to the bottom of my heart, never, ever, forget that. You two come first to me, nobody else.
You’re so funny “Stella”. I miss you too and love you a lot (Ya know you’re one of my besties). I’ll find some pins just for you xoxo
