CAPTURING FRIENDSHIP: If Friends Were Flowers, I’d Pick You

There's a special kind of magic that happens when a group of like-minded girls comes together with a shared mission to uplift and inspire each other. That's exactly the kind of magic that has blossomed among Paisley, Riley, and Ava on my teen team. If friends were flowers, I’d pick these three any day—they are the perfect examples of what it means to advocate for self-love, kindness, and positivity.

Blooming Together as Friends

When Paisley, Riley, and Ava first joined the teen team, they were just getting to know each other. But it didn’t take long for them to form a bond. Like different flowers in a beautiful garden, each brings her own unique qualities to my Teen Team.

Paisley, with her infectious smile and warmth;

Riley, with her unwavering kindness and spirit;

Ava, with her fierce energy and encouragement.

Together, they’ve created a friendship that is both inspiring and uplifting.

Encouraging Each Other to Shine

One of the most beautiful things about Paisley, Riley, and Ava's friendship is how they encourage each other to be their authentic selves. Whether it's cheering each other on during photoshoots, celebrating each other's successes, or just being there to listen and offer support, these girls know how to lift each other up. They understand the importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in you and who will always be your biggest fans.

They don't just hype each other up; they make sure every girl on the team feels valued, confident, and empowered. Their positive energy is contagious, and it’s clear that they see the best in each other without ever doubting or forgetting their own beauty and self-worth.

Advocating for Self-Love and Kindness

What makes Paisley, Riley, and Ava’s friendship truly special is their commitment to advocating for self-love and kindness, both within the team and in their daily lives. They understand that kindness starts from within, and they practice what they preach. They know that every girl deserves to feel confident in her own skin and that true beauty shines from the inside out.

These new friendships are a testament to the power of positivity. They aren't afraid to be vulnerable, to share their struggles, and to lift each other up when times get tough. Through their words and actions, they spread messages of self-acceptance and love, reminding everyone around them that it’s okay to be yourself, flaws and all.

A Garden of Strong and Beautiful Souls

As I watch Paisley, Riley, and Ava grow both individually and together, I’m constantly reminded of the strength that comes from having a strong support system. They’ve helped me created a safe space where they can be themselves, dream big, and inspire each other to be the best versions of themselves. They are living proof that when friends come together to support and encourage each other, they can create something truly beautiful—a garden of strong, confident, and kind souls.

If Friends Were Flowers, I’d Pick You

Paisley, Riley, and Ava remind us all of the importance of choosing friends who make you feel like you can bloom, who encourage you to chase your dreams, and who stand by you through every season. I am so proud to see these girls grow not just as individuals but also as a team that is making a positive impact in their schools and communities.

If friends were flowers, I’d pick these girls every time!!! Their friendship is like a bouquet of joy, laughter, and unwavering support—a reminder that the best things in life are the people who choose to walk alongside you, cheering you on every step of the way.
