[30F] A day at the beach and how I helped to make someone so much luckier than they could ever have imagined

This is something that happened very recently, and I’ll try to be as concise with the details as possible in hopes that I can maybe talk about it more specifically with you people! That said, there’s a lot to say in order to really communicate what happened, so forgive me if it’s a bit longer than I intended.

I’m in my late 20s and I have a best friend who has been my best friend for pretty much both our entire lives. I have never really had a fixed friend group, as I prefer to have individual friendships, but she does have a close friend group and so I’ve got to know the people in it over the years.

They are a very close group of friends who have stuck together ever since early high school. So a very long time ago. They were the nerdy group in high school, and are still very much like that in a lot of ways. Most of them very successful, living incredibly normal lives. Nothing truly exciting to note.
