“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”

There are so many things I cannot put into words, but I am forever grateful to call you my best friend, my rock, my person. Thank you.

Thank you for never judging me. Whenever life got hard I would run away to your house and vent for hours. You have always given me the best advice on whatever the situation was. You would tell me it was all going to be okay. Even though in the moment I didn’t believe you, you were always right.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on. Whenever you knew I was upset, it was like a routine. You had the cookie dough ice cream and my favorite songs waiting to be sung as loud as possible. Which by the way, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello will never get old. Sorry.

Thank you for changing me for the better. You have taught me to be strong and independent. Since then, I have learned that I don’t need a boy in my life to make me happy. I need to focus on myself and make myself a better person. Life has been so much more enjoyable while doing that.

Thank you for the countless laughs. I genuinely feel bad for other people when they are around us. The amount of inside jokes we have is ridiculous. Half the time everyone laughs when we do but it’s just at us not with us. Our laughs get pretty ugly but it makes us laugh even more.

Thank you for always giving me your time. I know you aren’t always free, but you somehow manage to always answer when I need you.

Thank you for always being there for me. You have seen me at my worst, my best and everywhere in between. I have gone through some pretty rough patches in life and without you I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

Thank you for always telling me the truth. You always tell me that I deserve nothing but the best and all the happiness in the world. Sometimes that’s hard for you because nothing/no one is ever good enough. It’s a bittersweet feeling, but I know you are just looking out for me.

Thank you for having such a welcoming family. From day one when your parents brought out the baby pictures to me coming to all family gatherings, your family has been the best. I couldn’t imagine just walking into anyone else’s house and eating all their food. Speaking of, thanks for always buying my favorite foods for when I come over.

Thank you for sharing my crazy obsession with Disney. I always call myself the princess and you don’t even question it anymore. We have probably watched every Disney movie ever made. We live in fairytales and have absolutely no shame about it.
