Hey, Big
It's crazy to think that it's been a year since I've been able to call you that.
Thank you for taking my weird self under your wing and accepting me, mistakes and all, for who I am. This is gonna sound like a love letter, so bear with me.
I knew from the first time we hung out that you HAD to be my big. You didn't have a choice. Like, I would've forced you to be my big so I'm glad you chose to be. Your gigantic heart and ability to liven up a room with your infectious laugh are only two of the probably 7 million reasons that I look up to you. You've taught me to stand up for myself, a thing that I've struggled with in the past. You've taught me to fight for what I want and if it isn't worth fighting for, then it shouldn't be in my life anyways. I can't thank you enough for listening to all of my mini-vents and giving me your honest opinion on all of my "woe is me" moments. You've taught me to not overthink things, and have proven to me that Sonic is a cure-all. I barely knew you at big-little reveal, yet it felt that I'd known you my whole life.
You are my person, and I know that term gets thrown around willy nilly, but between the conversations in weird accents and reminiscing on similar junior high awkwardness, I find the term fitting. I know this is sounding romantic I'M SORRY I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS, but similar to The Notebook, "you tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass", and finding a person to be real with, I've realized, is hard to come by. The fact that you chose me to be your little still baffles me because I'm a shit show, but in these 365 days, I've realized that we're stupid similar. (Not saying you're a shit show, but if the shoe fits y'know 😘 ). The amount of times that we've laughed to the point of crying together is actually ridiculous, and the fact that we know that we can call each other at any point in the day and the other will be there in a split second is something that I think is pretty rad.
Thank you for not only putting yourself in my life, but putting your big, my grand big, in my life as well. You two have taught me to be understanding, and to be optimistic when faced with dilemmas. College is an impressionable time, and because of you two, I'm not too questionable of a 20 year old. Before joining a sorority, I heard that sisters are who you make your bridesmaids, and I can already imagine the weird faces that I'll be making at both of you while I'm walking down the aisle.
This year has flown by, and now that I'm about to get a little, I hope to be half the big that have been for me so far. I can't wait to welcome in the new addition to our srat fam. ❤️
