best friends turned lovers

[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)

This is Abby and Mia; two friends I met in college who hold the truest and most precious love. You either want to be best friends with them or be them. We were on a boat in Lake Michigan last summer and I couldn't help but have my camera pointed at them the whole time. They bring light and energy and eccentricity to anything and everything and their love for each other is unmatched.

[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."

Two women facing each other and singing with the wind blowing their hair back while on a boat
