They say that after high school you grow and become distant from your friends.
For me, this couldn’t be more untrue.
Since the second grade, I have had the same best friend. The same number one supporter. The same girl who has given me life changing advice. The girl who at one point lived ten minutes down the road, then an hour and a half, and then we were three hours away from each other.
Throughout most of my life, I have had the same best friend. I cannot express how blessed I am to say that. For the past thirteen years, she has been my go to.
Senior year, we became closer than we ever have been before. We talked basically every day.
She went away to college, and I stayed home. I think that I was more excited about her moving into her dorm then she was. I waited for videos and pictures, all day.
We vent about our classes to each other. We vent about our other friends. We vent about our families, and about just everything on our mind.
We facetime when we want to see each other’s faces because we rarely get to see each other.
I love telling people that we have been friends since second grade. It is something so rare that you cannot find nowadays.
Having someone who is there for you for a solid thirteen years is crazy to think about. When they aren’t your family, they do not have any reasons to stay in your life other than the fact that they truly want to be there.
Cassidy Lynn is that person.
Thank you for being my person, and loving me for exactly who I am.
Thank you for giving me some of the best advice I have ever received. Thank you for listening to my rants and pointless drama. Thank you for never leaving my side through everything that has happened throughout our friendship.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I seriously cannot say it enough.
The way you have impacted my life cannot compare to anything else or any other relationship that I have in my life.
My best friend from second grade is my best friend, my freshman year in college, and I hope that she is my best friend when we graduate college and are getting married.
