1,120 miles apart yet our minds are connected

The other day I had a dream. In a lot of my dreams, I pull out nuggets from the past that I have completely forgotten about. This dream pulled out “the cheese grater” something I knew only my friend Kate would know and understand. One day in maybe 5th grade our friend Taylor told us his brother cheese grated his arm. We were very afraid of his older brother and this only added to that fear. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. His brother cheese grated his arm!!!! What!!! I mean who knows if that actually happened but the thought was just so funny and evil it stayed with us. When I woke up I immediately texted Kate because I had completely forgotten about it and I knew that some of our friends would remember but she would be the one who truly gets it because she was with me in MLSS when this story unfolded. She immediately responded by saying, “No way I was subconsciously thinking about that the other day”. Which is wild. I almost didn’t text her because it was such an insignificant thing, but that insignificant thing connects us. You’re never going to regret sending the text that connects you to another.
