“You are my best friend, my human diary, and my other half. You mean the world to me and I love you” –Unknown

Every best friend relationship is different, but I can say you are truly my forever friend. We are not the best friends who met on the first day of kindergarten or played soccer together in middle school. Rather we have only known each other for a short time, but it feels like we have been best friends forever.

I love that you know the best and worst about me, and you still choose to be my best friend. Thank you for being my judgment free zone and the keeper of all my secrets. I know I can tell you anything and everything, and you even though you may think my decisions are crazy, you still support me.

“Sometimes me think ‘What is a friend?’ and then me say, ‘Friend is someone to share the last cookie with’”. –Cookie Monster

I can count on you for anything and everything, big or small. Whether that’s: having an abundance of snacks at all time because I never have any, being my shoulder to cry on because boys are stupid, buying me coffee all the time because we're both addicted, answering my drunk phone calls at 2 a.m. because I just want someone to talk to, taking me to the emergency room because I need stitches, listening to me complain about all my schoolwork (even though you always have more), or letting me borrow your entire closet without asking because I never have anything to wear. I know you got me, and I hope you know I got you.

There has never been a time where we are not having fun together. Almost all our stories begin with “Remember that one time when…” followed by something insane we did that no one else finds funny, but we’re both in tears thinking about how hilarious it was. I’m glad I have someone to join me in making great (or not-so-great) decisions that will create memories that last forever.

We’ve been through a lot together. You have helped me through many hard times, and I’ll never be able to thank you enough for that. I’ve had some lousy days, but thankfully I always had you to brighten my mood. From my breakups, to bad exam grades, to my injuries, I thank you for always being by my side.

You are honestly the sweetest person I know, and I am so thankful to call you my best friend. You’ve had your fair share of rough times, but there has never been a day that I haven’t seen you smile. You constantly strive to better others and put a smile on everyone’s face. You have big dreams for the future, and I believe in you 100 percent and will support you however I can so those dreams come true. You are so beautiful inside and out, and I hope you never forget that. Thanks for having the biggest heart and such a kind, genuine soul.

Our friendship began just as teammates, grew from good friends to best friends, and now we’re basically sisters. I have no idea of what I would do without you, but I don’t plan on finding out.

Thanks for being my best and forever friend. Xoxo
