    Apricity, the warmth of the sun on your skin during winter, despite the colder temperatures. That's how I would describe Chelsea Mack. Her soul was the warmth despite the world being cold and cruel. If being an introvert and an extrovert took human form, it would be her. So easily quiet and shy to world then all of a sudden she was the loudest and happiest in a room. She was so welcoming to anyone regardless of their past. She didn't care as long as you were good to her, she was good to you. Chelsea's laughter was contagious. She could make anyone laugh even if it was doing something unconventional or childish. I could search a million years and never find a soul like hers again. She had this aura that just made you feel like you belonged and you were her family. She loved her babies, family, and friends more than anything. Chelsea Amber Mack was the strongest person I've had the luck of knowing and I am forever grateful to have known her and loved her. There's not a day that goes by that I won't miss her. I'm blessed to have been close friends with someone like her. I welcome my grief because I know it's just unexpressed love and proof that she was loved so deeply. I was fortunate enough to have met someone so bright and full of life, everyone she's met gets to shine a bit brighter after. Thank you for sharing your warmth with us. Anyone that loves me will always know you too, because I will never stop talking about you.

    I've been sitting with the loss of Chelsea, trying to put words to what it means to lose a childhood best friend and I keep coming back to this: when you grow up with someone, they become part of your foundation. No matter how far life pulls you apart, they're always there in your memories, your mannerisms, your inside jokes no one else would understand. Chelsea was my everything in those formative years. I can still see her walking into my house nearly every day, wearing her studded belt, nacho cheese sunflower seeds in hand, and those Air Forces she definitely "borrowed" from her sister. She had this kind of fire in her quiet, but never to be underestimated. When she spoke, you listened. And when she loved, you had to dig for it, but it was there, buried under all that sass and sarcasm. I'd tell her I loved her, and she'd roll her eyes and mutter "ew, gross" which, of course, was Chelsea-code for I love you too. She was fierce. Confident. A secret softie who'd never let you call her out on it. And even though we weren't close in recent years, the mark she left on my life never faded. I've been sitting here, trying to write about the effect her loss has had on me but all I keep doing is chasing memories. Looking for the little pieces of her that still live in me. And there are so many.
