167 6 Acknowledgements of fun, always ready for the next adventure. Here’s to more adventures; swimming with sharks was just the beginning! Deep down, I know you’re a cuddle bear, and I look forward to seeing more of that warmth. Semmy, you’re a hidden gem. Discovering your brilliance, fun spirit, and kindness during our trip was a delight. Thanks for always bringing good vibes with you. Tegan, my fellow potterhead and dance lover, it’s a joy to call you a friend. Thanks for including me in your plans; every time is a blast. Here’s to more occasions for shared fun and laughter! Nad’ka, I don’t think I know another person that lives life as intensely as you do. Thank you for infusing enthusiasm into everything you do and always giving your all. Thank you for welcoming me into your family and your home. Thank you for sharing a bed with me, no matter the country we are in. You have a big heart and you wear it on your sleeve, don’t let anyone change that. I wish you the best for your future, both in your personal life and professional, I am sure whatever goal you will decide to pursue, you will achieve. Thank you for your friendship. Josesito bebe, your soul is truly remarkable: you are fun, loving, smart, and affectionate (when you want, just like a cat, thank you for showing me that side too). Thanks for introducing me to the world of plants (though my addiction might argue otherwise!), thank you for pushing me in our CrossFit classes, thank you for making me braver and convincing me to swim with sharks. Thank you for supporting me through every high and low life has thrown us in these years, thank you for being my friend and family, I love you. I miss you, and remember, wherever I am, there’s always a home for you, complete with a plate of cecina! To my wonderful paranymphs, Sonia and Alejandro, thank you for being my rocks and safe space throughout my PhD. Sonia, you probably find this very cheesy, but I am going to write it anyway ( xD ). Thank you for being my friend from day one, thank you for sharing this path with me and making it a fun drive all the way through. I couldn’t imagine being here without you, I love you, and I look forward to what the future will bring us. Alejandro, Ale THE BEST, you probably do not realize the role that you played in my journey, we started our friendship as a CrossFit team and you are now my second family. You are the most talented person that I know, whatever you touch becomes gold, and it must be because of your golden heart. Every moment spent with you makes me happy, it doesn’t matter if we are discussing R functions, anime episodes, or love life. Thank you for teaching me that YOLO and sharing part of that life with me, let’s keep enjoying life together for as long as possible.
