Dear Best Friends,
I know sometimes I can be a handful and might even get annoying. I know sometimes we run into conflicts and our friendship is tested. Sometimes we get frustrated and do not talk to each other. Sometimes we need to just go off at each other. Some of us do not even talk more than three times a year, but when we do we pick up right where we left off. I know I get moody and clingy, while other times I just want to be alone. But you are still here now, and for that I am so thankful.
1. Thank you for always being there to pick me up from my lowest of lows.
When I reached my absolute lowest of lows, you were always there offering a hand to help me back up. You offered me comfort, and made me smile and laugh when I thought it was impossible. You showed me that even at my worst, you will still give me your best.
2. Thank you for allowing me to call you at all hours of the night.
Sometimes I would have a bad dream, or sometimes I just could not sleep at all. You allowed me to call you and talk no matter how tired you were, and you always listened to me. You gave me the time of day, or perhaps night, and I hope I do the same for you.
3. Thank you for dealing with my moodiness.
No matter if I was mad one second and crying the next, you stayed by my side. You always tolerated by nagging, whining, complaining, and frustration.
4. Thank you for giving me advice when I need it most.
Sometimes I can be flustered and not know what to do. I cannot get my mind to form a cohesive thought or express my feelings in a given situation. You were always there to guide me and give me the advice to keep me sane. You gave me the drive and the reason to keep trying when I did not want to any more.
5. Thank you for listening when I need it most.
Even when you did not give me advice while I projected my heart and feelings onto you, you sat and listened, and that means more to me than you could even know.
6. Thank you for being my family.
No matter what, you always seemed to have my best interest at heart, even if I was not being the best friend to you. We argue like siblings, disagree like married couples, bicker like five-year-olds, yet we always manage to remember that we are a family, and that is more important than anything.
7. Thank you for saving me from sticky situations.
Whether it be saving me from a date gone wrong, struggles at home, or even my won inner struggles, you always manage to rescue me and say "Hey, things will be better next time."
8. Thank you for accepting me for who I am, flaws and all.
You realize that I am not perfect in any sense or under any definition. You know I am emotional, sometimes too clingy, not the most reliable person all of the time yet you choose to keep me as your friend and help me grow in who I am and learn from my mistakes.
But most of all, thank you for being my friend. Thank you for caring for me like no other. Thank you for all of the grand memories, laughter, smiles, tears, hopes, and dreams of a better tomorrow. Thank you for being you. For in having you, I am eternally blessed.
Sincerely,
Someone who appreciates you very much
