Minha! ~ One of my most treasured friendships from my high school days.
When I met Minha, I was a kind of intimidated by her. She was a year older than me, wasn't afraid to be loud, and sometimes had very strong reactions to situations. We were in band together, so for the next couple of years, we talked here and there when the situation arose. Before my junior year, I went to her church retreat and I made a surprising connection with her in some random conversation. After that, our friendship grew stronger as we shared our faith together, especially our struggles in ministry. I remember for a large portion of my junior year, we would write each other encouragement notes to get through the day. As she and I moved off to college, we kept in touch, and met here and there. We grew in sharing more vulnerably with each other about friendships, anxieties, and many other things. Minha is someone who I just have such joy to spend time with because we talk about God together and have so much fun together. I can't even explain. We would talk about the most random things and end up laughing and giggling. After meeting with her, I feel encouraged, supported, seen, loved, and refreshed. I just really appreciate her presence in my life <3
Anyways, bye bye until next time ^
