We thought of the word "Calamity" while trying to put all our names together. "Col-An-Kaitie" It probably wasn't a good idea since we're not actually celebrities, but I like what came out of it. I like the word "calamity."
First it makes me think of Calamity Jane. Now there's a woman who defies some stereotypes. I don't know a lot about her, but she stands out as someone who is going to do her own thing. And I think that each of us has done unique and beautiful things with our lives.
The word "calamity" sounds loud. And we are loud with our voices, our values, and our sarcasm. I look to these friends for honesty. Sometimes we cause calamities for other people. And that's okay. I imagine the three of us as troublemaking heroes. Doing our own thing. Stirring the pot. Saving the world.
Also, calamity sounds hard, and life is hard. All of us have had problems, big and little, that feel like calamities. But no matter how big the disasters, we've lived through them. We've come through strong.
And we've come through together. I've depended on these friends during the best of times and the worst of times. We haven't always been perfect friends, but we've been friends. And we've been ones who helped each other through. That's the best kind of calamity.
