WCW: Aly Silverio

Let's be honest here, you all knew this was coming.

    Aly Silverio is one of a kind. I can tell you that with complete certainty. This girl started her own jewelry company while in high school because she didn't want to get an Average Joe job. Who does that? Yes, Jawbreaking is known worldwide nowadays for its incredibly soft clothing and on point phrases like "Band boys equal trouble," or the newly popular "I'm over it." But don't mistaken, this success didn't happen overnight. Aly will tell you right away that she has to work hard to do what she loves but she wouldn't change it. She runs a business and while it might look like glitz and glamour from our point of view, she's been through her own set of struggles to get where she is today.
    Through all of the trials and errors, the success, she still remains to enjoy the present. She still remains so humble and so grateful. These may be the things I admire most since I've always been one to look ahead. She finds time to include her friends and her family, her mother helps manage Jawbreaking, and do everything a normal 20 year old does. You can find her going to concerts, going on vacations with her family, taking silly pictures, and just living life. Aly is one of my favorite people to this day because even though she runs this amazing company, she never loses herself. She is still Aly Silverio the boy band loving, Bojangles and cookie eating, crime show watching queen and we love her for it.

You thought I was done talking didn't you? Wrong. Sorry about it guys.

    I have no idea if Aly will even see this but I want you all to know something. When I say she is one phenomenal young lady, I mean that with all of my heart. I just realized all of 5 minutes ago that I started Dream On Youth 4 days before her birthday. If you don't about Aly and I's friendship, it goes a little something like this. Every year, I send her a card or letter for her birthday. Basically something to give her a little boost of confidence even if she doesn't need it at the time. To remind her that I value her friendship and who she is even we don't talk 24/7. Hey, we're both busy girls. Last year though, I was so caught up I think I forgot to send her something. Maybe that's why I'm just now posting this.    Maybe subconsciously I want to show her that all the inspiring words she's ever said to me haven't been lost. That I still adore her and consider her to be insanely supportive. She's seen me go through some failed attempts at other things but for whatever reason Do You stuck. Maybe it was her saying in an interview I did with her years ago, "Basically, you can't not do something because you're scared of what people are going to think about it, you'll never know til you try. Just do it." So yes, I'd like to think almost two years ago Aly saw something in me that I couldn't see yet.
    Aly, if you're reading this. I know this seems like a lot but I just want people to see that yes, you're a businesswoman but you are so incredibly down-to-earth. I remember that night at the sketch Cookout where you guys thought I was going to get kidnapped or something. I remember that night entirely as "the series of unfortunate events." I remember meeting you for the first time at Warped. Boy, that was interesting. I remember texting you "The Motto" lyrics after I revised them to include Jawbreaking. I remember texting you "free fallin'" lyrics after I saw an Instagram post where you fell. I just remember all the laughs and helping you out at shows. You are one of the most hilarious people I know, and maybe one of the most awkward. (I say that out of love, promise.) I just hope we can have some more crazy, awkward, fun memories together in the future. You are truly something else girl.
