Dear friends from high school,
You have been there for me, you know about my other friends and the drama that comes along, you know my personality, and you know how I feel about many topics. You don’t know me to the core. You may have known me for years, upon years, the whole way through my schooling. You didn’t know me like others know me, and I didn’t know you like others know you.
As friends, we can always have our memories. It is almost a grievance period. In the upcoming months, our contact will falter, we won’t know what’s going on in each others lives unless it is on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. It won’t be too sad, though. We all know this was bound to happen. No one made any efforts to stop the inevitable.
You're the kinds of friends everyone needs even though it's temporary. You can make a horrible day a great one just by not knowing and joking around like usual. You're a listening ear when I need to vent about my procrastination instead of me doing the work I'm procrastinating. You made it a good time, even if it wasn't a long time.
As a temporary friend, you guys were the best temporary friends I could ever ask for. You know how to make me laugh, you know what to say and exactly how to embarrass me. Our friendship may not have changed much from middle school, but sometimes that is exactly what I need. A friendship with no evolution. We both have grown older, but our friendship can still be just as young and immature as we once were. You made my time in school a great one and I can't wait to see what you have in store for your future.
Don’t mistake this letter for me saying you don’t matter. You definitely did. I loved the class periods where all we did was laugh or the times we saw each other out and about and Snapchatted the whole experience. You guys made school enjoyable for me. I looked forward to going to classes to see you, I was excited to tell you all of my weekend shenanigans, our memories are endless.
Graduating this spring will put an end to our friendship. It was a good time and you will be remembered. Never forget the times we have had. I hope I run into you at a grocery store after working a 9-5 in the upcoming years. You will all be missed even if it's just momentarily. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. I hope you enjoy your own college experiences and on from there. I'll always root for you from the sidelines whether you know or not. I'll always be here for you to come back to.
Sincerely,
A high school friend.
