Amanda's P.O.V
Salamander started off as a joke. All of my friends including Sara were standing in a circle outside in 7th grade and started naming dumb ship names, never thinking twice. Then they got to us. They all looked puzzled but after a while our friend lily yelled out," Salamander!" We all laughed but if only I knew that was the start of something special.
Now we use it on a daily basis. It's something only we know. The start of Salamander started in 7th grade hand Sara came out to me in 6th grade but had thought nothing of it. I had slipped into a strong depression and anxiety I have had since I was 3 and self injury was my best friend. Along with self harm I grew into anorexia and bulimia, and constant attempts of suiside, which I still have all even worse it this day. Without Sara or 'Salamander' I would be buried 6 feet under, and I am thankful. In 7th grade this Salamander grew from a cheeky friendship grew more and more. I then realized I was gay but hid it from everybody, even from Sara. By as my feelings matured towards Sara, we grew to love each other. But as we grew to love each other, we both had problems to deal with. I had/have more issues than her which is unfortunate but I am great full it is not the opposite, by to our love and trust for each other only grew. I hope you enjoy this collection of our weirdness of baked goods, airplanes, Larry Stylinson, and fangirl moments. I am sorry in advance.
