The set of their latest movie buzzed with energy as lights flickered, cameras rolled, and actors slipped into their roles. Among it all, you and Mikey found a rare moment of quiet, away from the chaos of production. Mikey had always been laid-back, a little distant in the past, but over time, something had changed. Something was different now, and it was hard not to notice the shift—the glow-up.

She was no longer the same person you had met when you first started this journey together. Mikey had stepped into her own, and it wasn’t just her appearance that had transformed. It was her confidence, her presence, the way she owned every room she entered. It was like she was swimming in her own ocean now, not the same water she used to drift through. You couldn’t help but think of the words from that song, “The water’s getting colder, let me in your ocean, swim.”

You had always been there, a constant, as Mikey glided through the phases of her life, but now, as you both stood side by side, you couldn’t help but admire the person she had become. She was no longer just your friend from the start—she was a force in her own right, riding the waves of her success, and you were just grateful to be part of it.
