Parents are all about “Get off your phone! Don't put that on the internet! Be careful with the websites you're using!" To an extent, I agreed with what they told me, but if it was not for the internet, I would've never found my best friend. We have known each other for over a year but it feels like forever. I came upon her blog and saw she was struggling with something. I messaged her, and from there we just clicked.
Unfortunately, we live all the way across the country from one another. We are both waiting with anticipation for the day we get to hug each other for the first time. I will never forget the day I met my best friend. This is to her and all the internet friendships and relationships that have flourished. There is always hope in finding your person.
1. Thank you for always texting me at the exact time I need to talk to you (best friend telepathy).
2. Thank you for reminding me that I'm worth more than I ever allow myself to believe.
3. Thank you for showing me that distance isn't always a deal breaker (it's hard but we work with it).
4. Thank you for your unconditional love!
5. Thank you for the never ending screenshots we send each other of all of our drama so we can keep up with what's going on.
6. Thank you for being the best friend who never left my side (hypothetically) even at my lowest of lows.
7. Thank you for sharing the love of Starbucks with me.
8. Thank you for replying to me early in the morning even though it's even earlier for you because of the three hour time change (oops).
9. Thank you for leaving me a secret gift in Disney World (even though I ended up not being able to go and get it and it was gone a few days later).
10. Thank you for remembering the friend I lost to a terrible disease and for sending me a purple ribbon charm in his memory.
11. Thank you for the countless Snapchats including all the videos of you singing in your car.
12. Thank you for having a Jeep just like me! Even if mine is a bit older than yours.
13. Thank you for being 16 years old and still incredibly mature for your age.
14. Thank you for giving a stranger online (me) the chance to become a lifelong pal.
15. Thank you for sharing the love of sports with me (soccer babes for life).
16. Lastly, thank you for being my best friend ever. I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
