To My Best Guy Friends,

I truly don’t know what I would do without you. From listening to me talk about everything that's on my mind to being there for me no matter what, you have proven to me that true friendship really does exist. I am so incredibly lucky to have you in my life.

Thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on, no matter how stupid the situation is.

Thank you for showing me that there’s so much more to life than the things I worry about.

Thank you for teaching me that the one girl who I thought was my best friend until she hurt me never really cared about me in the first place, and that I shouldn’t let it affect me.

Thank you for the countless laughs, most of which ended in tears and sore abs.

Thank you for teaching me about sports, and not laughing too hard when I can’t remember half of what you teach me.

Thank you for the bear hugs.

Thank you for putting up with my mood swings.

Thank you for reassuring me that my bad exam grade isn’t the end of the world.

Thank you for showing me my true worth.

Thank you for teaching me that pain (unfortunately) is necessary if I wish to grow into a stronger person.

Thank you for teaching me fight; and never give up.

Thank you for letting me take care of you when you need it.

Thank you for pushing me to my full potential.

Thank you for being my rock when I need you the most.

Thank you for always loving me, oftentimes more than I love myself.

Thank you for putting up with arguments, even if they’re over really stupid things.

Thank you for letting me be myself around you.

Thank you for reminding me that just because I fail, it doesn't mean that I'm a failure.

Thank you for teaching me that strength and courage stem from the heart, and that I have the ability to become both strong and brave.

Thank you for not judging me when I eat way more chocolate than I should.

Thank you for supporting me. Always.

Thank you for encouraging me to never give up on my hopes and dreams.

Finally, thank you for all your years of friendship; I know we will make it through many more. There’s no one else I would rather have by my side.
