POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

29 today. First birthday in my lifetime that I haven’t had my Jakey. Can’t believe I am going into the last year of my twenties without my best friend. Blood of my blood, I love you so much. I can’t think about anything else. You’re supposed to be here for all the birthdays to come, and I’m supposed to be there for yours. I just miss you. I love you Jake. I hope I feel you with me this trip around the sun, and I hope you’re resting ♥️ by @rachelboxer

Jakey,

I can’t believe I am even writing this out. it’s so stupid. I have so much to say. I could talk about you forever. But I also don’t know what to say. There are no words to encapsulate all that you mean to me. You are single handedly the most influential person, you shaped my life. I am only who I am because of you.

You were one of the absolute lights of my life, and I had the pleasure of having you for almost 29 years. I never had siblings, so you were always the other half of my duo. Everyone knew it was Rachel and Jake.

When we were kids, I worshiped the ground you walked on. I idolized you. I couldn’t believe one person could be so hilarious and witty. I truly think you were the funniest person in the entire world. I was your shadow, following you everywhere you went. Where Jake went, I went. I always wanted to be with you.

I would bring my friends to Atlanta and we would all hang out together, and they were so jealous that I had a cousin like you. The jokes you made and the silly mannerisms you had are still with me to this day.

As we grew up, nothing changed. You were still the light in every room. You trusted me to be the first person you ever came out to, and I was so honored that you loved and trusted me as much as I loved and trusted you. I felt so safe knowing I had someone like you in my life. You were the closest thing to a brother I ever had.

I can’t accept the fact that I’ll never get to see you again. I can’t accept that you’re gone. This isn’t right.
A few days before you left us, we looked deeply into each other’s eyes. We didn’t exchange words, but so much was said. I felt you with me, and I hope you felt me with you. I always will be.

Who am I going to talk to for hours about Lady Gaga? I’m already so lost without you. There is a hole in my heart that will never be filled because you are truly irreplaceable.

You were one of my best friends and one of the loves of my life. I hope you’re free, and I hope you can rest. I love you so much.
Until we meet again 💫 by @rachelboxer

First picture is a shot I took on a Nikon Coolpix that I thrifted for less than three dollars. I have sooo much to say but I’ll try to keep it short. During the pandemic I had tickets to see Hayley’s first solo tour, but the tour was cancelled when we were in a lockdown. I was so bummed because I thought I’d never get to see her play solo. A couple weeks agoI traveled to Philly by train (the furthest I’ve traveled alone) to see Hayley and it was much needed. (Hayley wrote Idol Worship so i apologize for all the praise BUT…) I feel lucky to be able to witness artistry as complex as Hayley’s and even luckier to witness her advocacy and activism through her art. I’ve grown up listening to Paramore and going to Paramore shows and now I can say I’m lucky enough to have gone to her first ever solo tour.

End of an era. Have been having a hard time finding the right words. A few weeks ago, we were all notified that the mall was not renewing the lease to our store and that January 17th would be our last day open. All last week, we took every last item out of the store and it was brutal and emotional on so many levels. I’ve worked at this store for 12 years, and even with stepping away and going on to new ventures over the last couple years, I never wanted to permanently step away because I loved it so much. This store is my baby and I’ll miss it so much :( working here has taught me so much and I’ll never forget it.
393 forever ❤️

On this day last year my mom texted me about pet adoptions so I drove to where she was and saw a little black kitten (the last of his litter to be adopted) sleeping and wearing a Halloween collar and I fell in love with him :) I love you Giles ❤️ by @rachelboxer

This year was so tough :-) dealing with chronic debilitating migraines every day this year (😃🔫) has forced me to face a lot of fears and that’s something to be proud of. I also adopted Giles and he’s my evil twin/best friend and I don’t know how I lived so long without him (he also turns 6 months old tomorrow)! Manifesting only great things for everyone I love … 2025 sister please take it easy on me 🫡 by @rachelboxer

On this day every year I find myself feeling nostalgic about years past. My mom found old video cameras that belonged to my grandpa who loved recording memories. Many of these videos are of my grandma and even my dad as a baby. Apparently if my mom had waited any longer to get this film developed, it wouldn’t have been salvageable, so I’m very grateful to have this. I put it all together into a little video and I love it and wanted to share 🥹 by @rachelboxer

My favorite band now and forever ❤️ I have seen Paramore plenty of times, but seeing them kick of their tour in Charlotte was very special and I’ll cherish the amazing time I had with the people I love forever ❤️ I could literally write a book about it me thinks by @rachelboxer

We got to go to Nashville for Paramore’s record release show at the iconic Grand Ole Opry and hear the new album in full a few days early at Grimeys! Paramore has been with me for more than half my life and I’m so lucky to have grown up with them and continue growing with them as I try to piece together all the moving parts of adulthood and reality. I’ll love this band and the memories I have tied to them forever 🥺❤️ by @rachelboxer
