Hella precious.
My friend I made in Sheffield, England visited me in Ireland 🥺
Over 10 years ago, I had this desire to have friends all around the world. Just one of my wild silly ideas that I didn’t know how I was going to make happen. And now it’s happening through a bunch of zip zag paths and decisions I’ve made.

Grind on yall, I’m doing the work with you.
