My friends. I'm fortunate to know amazing people who not only mesh with me perfectly, but continue to challenge, educate, and shape me into a better person. We may be continents apart, but I feel like the whole world is open to me, and I'll never be alone no matter which corner of it I end up in ❤️
![A collage of different Neil Jostens, referencing different moments from the books, including: black haired neil in a grey hoodie, a smaller full body of Neil in baggy faded hoodie and jeans, Neil in a slashed black outfit from his first time at Eden's Twilight next to a speech bubble that says "I think you're something a little more like us. Runaway.", a full body of him in his orange Exy gear, red haired Neil with a scowl and his 4 tattoo, bandaged Neil post-Baltimore with Andrew's hand on his face next to a speech bubble saying "I'm sorry.", scarred Neil with a thought bubble that reads "[Riko getting shot]" and a small chibi drawing of Andreil kissing. The border is littered with an assortment of items, including (counter clockwise) the photograph of Andreil at the airport with my signature/handle, Neol's phone, a blue BIC lighter, a Ben & Jerry's ice cream tub, a knife, a plastic ziplock bag of cracker dust, a bloody racquet, an Exy glove and ball, cigarettes, orange paw prints, a pair of keys, a Maserati key fob, bandages, cracker packets that are branded "Sweeties", scattered pills, an a parking receipt for Eden's Twilight.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6c5gvsay7s4rhrlghdrdjqcg/bafkreic5nwrp3j4nwhyhbvnhrl3ztzl2643427foyucwqodypokr245zp4)
