I dreamed of her the other day. It was sweet to see her smile and see her enjoying herself, wherever it is you are now... I miss Darian, in high school, I could look forward to talking with her, she just had this pure energy about her. Harmless. She was a regular in my friend group and took up some space in my mind throughout my youth, been years since she´s come to my dreams. A dear friend of hers reached out to me for a tattoo in her memory, recently- and for her, I'm honored to have that opportunity.
