The year was 2012. Tasha was 18 (maybe 19 she’s still not sure) when she found herself at the Boynton Beach skate park one evening, hanging out with friends. That night, she met someone new; a guy named Ryan, who was part of the group. They quickly hit it off, bonding over their shared love for the Philadelphia Eagles and a mutual sense of humor. Over the next couple of years, their paths continued to cross, and their connection only deepened. By 2014, they were practically inseparable beach days, food runs, and endless laughs became their norm. Friends would joke that Ryan was clearly in love with Tasha, but she always laughed it off: “We’re just friends,” she’d say. After a few years of life, lessons, and some not-so-great dating experiences, Tasha was just about convinced that real love wasn’t in the cards. But then came a dream, one so vivid it stuck with her. Ryan was in it. After that, she couldn’t stop thinking about him. When he picked up on her change in energy, she finally told him. They agreed to give it a shot. With one rule: no matter what, the friendship came first. Now, almost 11 years later... Here we are proving that sometimes, the person you’ve been looking for has been right beside you all along.
