QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

Do you have a special someone?

I have a lot of special someones. While I know the question is asking about a significant other, which I do, many people in my life are special to me. I am close to my immediate family, my sister is my best friend and I would do anything for her broodlings. My partner is my absolute soulmate and I genuinely feel like they are my other half.

There are also many people I have met over the course of my life journey who are special to me for different reasons. My first coworkers were pivotal in breaking me out of my shell. I have honestly had many coworkers who I have loved like family for various reasons and even called them family to their face.

Same for those I have called friends. There are many people I have had the honor to call friend, whether they are still in my life or not. Most of them I still remember fondly, though there are those I wish I had never met. Regardless, they have all played a roll in me becoming who I am and making my way through the world.
