These are my covies.

Dear Jade,

These are my covies.

 

...my cheering uniform

...my krumping, getting-low, dance-like-noone’s-watching suit.

 

I like my covies because they are breezy, they have big pockets, and stains don’t show up.

I like them because no matter how much I sweat in them, they never seem to smell bad.

I like them because they are so unusual in and of themselves that it doesn’t really matter what I do when I wear them.

My covies are a daily reminder that the best things in life are free.

They remind me to be invested in the moment, to let go of inhibitions, and to do good things for others.

They remind me that being a team is not about homogeneity but about embracing and celebrating differences.

They remind me that I am only young once

My covies have 37 companions, belonging to 37 of the most incredible people I have ever met.

These are my covies and, in spirit, I wear them all the time.

Love,

Cindy
