"About Me" by Drea

Totally and completely loyal describes one of Tara's greatest assets. Whether it is taking you to a massage during your first break up or making vodka sodas to start the night right she is always 100% there to get you through the good and the bad and expecting nothing in return. Amazing and driven, Tara is not afraid to explore her passions and interests and she is even more brave because she is willing to take risks and never have regrets. I have nothing but admiration for Tara and I am so grateful to have her in my life as someone to look up to, confide in, or just get crazy with. Rarely will you ever find Tara not surprising you. Her intellect, compassion, and killer style will make a five minute hello turn into the most riveting conversation. Some days she's my therapist others my guidance counselor but always one of the people I trust most. Some of the most important conversations of my life have been with Tara, it was because of a conversation with her that I realized my feelings for a sarcastic man with an obsession with WWII. It was Tara who encouraged me to follow my strengths and not feel obligated to follow the path I had started with. Her ability to always see what's best for you while having only good intentions is a quality to cherish. Her brutal honesty keeps things real and though it may be hard to hear sometimes its those moments that you realize what a true friend she is and you are stronger for it and your friendship is even stronger. A friend forever no matter what city, or career I know that Tara and I will be sipping wine with our gray hair one day laughing about all of our shenanigans that began as wild and crazy gauchos.
