Dear best friend,
Without you, I do not think I would be where I am or who I am today. You’re the person that gets me with a single look. You know when I’m lying, when I’m angry, when I’m sad, mad, frustrated, when I want a piece of your chicken or a sip of your drink. You can read my emotions before I even know how I am feeling. Some days we may get frustrated with each other but I can always depend on a good talk to get us through It all, and by the end of the night we will be laughing our flabs off, therefore, serving as our workout of the day. There is no one I would rather sit with in complete silence, Pinterest our future weddings with, or doodle with.
I want to thank you. Thank you for sticking with me through the awkward years and experiences we have had (and may very likely continue to have), for the blind makeovers, the sleepovers, the blanket forts, the mini-photo shoots, for the ingenious idea of making our own cinnamon toast business, and the watching of scary movies under the blankets. Thank you for talking me out of wearing thirty different shades of blue, for dragging me out of bed to get some food, for letting me borrow your stuff (from lipstick to shoes to clothes to earrings and anything else in between) for providing me with endless laughter, and for our countless years of friendship. Thank you for laughing at my mistakes, for pushing me to try new things, and for laughing with me—even though I know you’re probably still laughing AT me. Above all, thank you for being my go-to, my person, and my best friend. Life without you would be terribly different.
I can not wait until we each get married and are standing next to each other, witnessing each other’s happiness. I can not wait until we each have children of our own and have to keep each other sane. No matter where life takes us I know I can count on you to pick me up and have my back.
I don’t say this enough but I love you. You’ve taught me to have fun, to love unconditionally, and to be myself. For you I am grateful, and because of you I count my blessings everyday.
