Friendship
Friendship is a beautiful thing, and nowhere is that more evident than in my bond with Esmerelda. We first crossed paths in 6th grade when I moved to Sacramento and was trying to make new friends in a totally new place.
Esmerelda’s positivity and genuine happiness were like a breath of fresh air, making it easy for us to click. Even now, she’s still the same beacon of joy and contentment she was back then. Our friendship has weathered all sorts of ups and downs, and we’ve seen each other at our most vulnerable. It’s a level of comfort and trust that goes way beyond the ordinary.
What’s so special about our connection is how effortlessly we get each other. It’s like we just fit together perfectly, kind of like yin and yang, with Esmerelda being the steady yang. In tough times or when I’m feeling down, she’s always been there to lift me up with her sunshine.
Our friendship isn’t about romance—it's all about the simple, pure joy of being there for each other. To celebrate this amazing friendship, I took some portraits of Esmerelda. Each photo captures the essence of our bond and the incredible friend who’s been a constant light in my life.
Thank you for being such a great friend Esmerelda, and as always Love you very much!
