A FRIEND IS AN EMBASSY Words are so simple, I can trace them on paper. Love on the other hand, I can barely materialize in my mind. The only proof I have of love is in my friends. Built on beams of diplomacy and pillars of empathy, a friend is an embassy. Someone who makes the most foreign of lands feel like home. A friend is a crusader, a benevolent soul, validating the weight of my existence, representing my beliefs and challenging what I’ve come to accept as unchangeable. character as assets not burdens. A friend is a fugitive, seeking asylum in a world where you and I are competing entities. A friend is a warrior, emanating courage, ready for battle by my side. A friend is a beacon, of wisdom and hope, the closest thing to my own intuition. Through a friend, I have power by virtue of love. I have the power to dismantle all that is unjust and not based in love. I am a friend. As are you. Together, we are a team. WRITTEN BY CAMILA ROCHA
