Arana Camella

For those of you that don't know what Arana Camella is, it means camel spider.

Yeah those lovely little creatures that get to massively scary sizes in the middle east.
Yeah those guys.

Well my friend KC, I haven't talked about her in a while because its just been crazy, that is one of her nicknames.
I'm Julia Gracia.
Shes Arana Camella.

It makes sense in our minds.

Well today just so happens to be her 21st birthday.
If you've ever met her you'll know that we are pretty much complete opposites.
I'm extremely girly and like make up and wearing dresses.
She goes more with her natural beauty, and enjoys wearing comfy clothing.

She can be a bit blunt and i'm a bit quieter.
Shes really good at Spanish and its a bit harder for me to grasp.
When it comes to men she can just go up to a guy and tell them straight up whether she likes them.
I could never do that.
I'm a planner and she is spontaneous.
So its a bit odd that we are actually friends.

But I think what works is that we can make each other laugh and I think the differences is what makes our friendship so good.
I wish I had the ovaries to just go up to a guy and tell them what I think of them.
She literally hunts for men. I just hope they have more confidence than I do to come up to me.
Maybe i'm just lazy and actually i'm just scared of what they will think of me.
I get attached and am more emotionally involved than I really should be,
She can cut all ties really quickly.

Shes also extremely athletic and we were going to the gym for a while together and then the semester just got too hard and with crazy schedules and not really wanting to go to the gym I didn't go as much.
But I wish I had more often.


But today is the day when this lovely crazy lady turns 21.
Currently she is living in a tent in Alaska.
And she is way far away from me!

But I love having Spanish with her.
All of our little jokes like Narcissos which means daffodils and it just means "change the subject because the person we were talking about just entered the room"
All the crazy nights we've had.
How she influenced me and made me realize how unhappy I was in a relationship and to take my life into my own hands.
She broke up with her boyfriend a few months before my ex and I broke up.
They go together around the same time that my ex and I did.

But she made me reevaluate my happiness.
Shes turned me from being the one that just waits for things to happen into more of the "huntress"
I currently would not consider myself to be a huntress but I am definitely a different person than I was a year ago.
A lot more confident and outgoing and much happier.
And part if that is because she has pushed me to be more.

So thanks girl for pushing me and believing me.
We may have our ups and downs but at the end of the day I am glad to have you as a friend.
So enjoy your crazy 21st.
Be safe and when you get back I pinky promise we will celebrate.
Don't drink too much tequila lovely!
