Dang Charlie, this made me tear up. Partially because I know you’re someone who’s surrounded by good people and so it really means something if you felt compelled to write about a particularly impactful friendship. You’re so talented at capturing the essence of a person in a way that feels casual but clearly comes from truly understanding someone. I also feel like I don’t often see a man writing about their platonic friendship with a woman and I really appreciated your lens. Chelsea sounds like a wonderful person, I donated to her gofundme and hope she gets better soon! Beautiful essay!

I was trying to figure out what to say after reading this, but I don't know what to say other than you guys seem like really great friends to each other and writing this is a really thoughtful gift.
