THE FRIEND WHO CAME LATER BUT MEANS EVERYTHING She didn't grow up with you, but the moment she entered your life, it felt like she'd always been there. No long history, no childhood memories, just an instant, effortless bond. She's the one you trust without overthinking, who never drains your energy, and who becomes your safe place without even trying. Now, life without her? Unimaginable. Because some friendships aren't about how long you've known each other, they're about how deeply you feel seen, understood, and at home with someone.
