I want to talk about my friend Lisa, who I have known for a long time. Actually, it's more than 20 years since we met when I switched schools in middle school. We both attended Ballroom Dancing Club and I felt extremely apprehensive because I needed to learn the moves very quickly. She was actually helping me to practice those moves. I think she has an amazing personality and what I absolutely adore about her is how confident she is. She actually taught me confidence because she doesn't care about what people think. Yet sometimes she can be rather cynical; she doesn't trust people. But I think it's good because I was more gullible and people used me for my kindness. So I think these are actually two positive characteristics that she possesses. To talk about both of us, we actually have a lot in common. But one thing that definitely unites us is us being silly. We like to laugh and joke around, and with this optimistic nature, we can do whatever. But I think we find the most passion in taking pictures, creating themes, dressing up. The last one we dressed up as Frida Kahlo and I drew a unibrow and stole my grandma's clothes, so it was very fun. So I extremely find pleasure in spending time with my best friend.
