Dear new best friend,
There is something a little bit crazy about meeting someone new. It's a fresh start. When someone new walks into your life, you have the ability to introduce yourself whichever way you see fit. I don’t mean lie about your name, no. I mean you get to pick and choose what you show this person. Your world has just been presented before them and you have the power to open and close which doors you show them. This is why it’s magical… because no matter the reason you are meeting, you have the ability to change each other's world, create something new with whatever you have start started.
I would like to start off by saying thank you for everything. But most importantly for coming into my life at the perfect time, right when I needed someone the most. In such a short amount of time you have seen me at my worst and at my best. You have watched me cry myself to sleep and punch the steering wheel out of extreme anger. But you have also seen me sing my heart out at 2am to awful songs on the radio, completely out of pitch, just because I was so happy. And somehow you've accepted me anyway.
If I have anything to thank my ex-boyfriend for, it would be for bringing you into my life. It's crazy because just a few short months ago, we wanted to kill each other. And sometimes, even now, we still want to strangle each other, but this time, it's out of love. You came into my life in such a strange way, honestly, but I feel like I've known you forever.
You have literally become my partner in crime. There is no other better way of putting it. What it all comes down to is that you've made me realize that I'm not as crazy as I may seem, or at least that I'm not the only psychotic teenage girl in this world. You really are my other half, and for that, I am so thankful. I am so lucky to have you in my life.
People say, "If you want to find out who your real friends are, sink the ship. The first ones to jump aren’t your friends." You have never jumped. You have always stood by me, and you've sunk with me. And there is nothing better than a good friend. They have the ability to change your whole day. They have the ability to change your whole life.
It can take what seems like a lifetime, but you will eventually find your people. So to all of my other best friends, please do not think you are being replaced. We'll just be welcoming someone new into our wild circle of friendship. And I hope you all accept her and love her as much as I do.
Sincerely,
Your partner in crime
