To my beloved best friend who is abroad,
There are a few things I need to express to you.
The Time Difference.
Trying to FaceTime with you is a real challenge. Either you're asleep when I'm free or you're out at a club when I want to say goodnight. Can't you just stay awake 24/7 so that we can easily stay in contact? What am I supposed to do when I have drunken crises? I guess this will teach me how to be independent but... that's not exactly something I am looking to do at this time.
Your Amazing Instagram.
HOLD THE PHONE. When did you become so artsy and cool? All I see when I open instagram now are pictures of you with amazing mountains in the background and captions that say "Weekend trip to Switzerland!" WEEKEND TRIP TO SWITZERLAND. My weekend trips consist of me going home. Please stop instagramming such artfully crafted, trendy pictures. It makes me feel like you are turning into this really cool person (not that you weren't before...) who will be way too cool for me when you come back.
And then there's your Snapchat.
At least your instagrams are really pretty pictures that I can be a part of through comments and likes. Your snapchats are these insane videos of you at nightclubs that make me wonder if I am on drugs just watching them. Your snapstories look like they belong in one of the "Live" stories that the entire world of Snapchat can view. You have a new geotag everyday. Sometimes I forget where you are actually abroad because you go to so many different countries.
And both your Snapchat and Instragam remind me that you're making new friends.
Okay... I am so, so glad you are having an amazing time abroad, but I am also gaining major FOMO (fear of missing out)! Just come back and hang out with me... please? How did you make so many new friends in just two months. I think you've made more friends in these last couple of months than I have total. At least, that's what all of your social media tells me. Again-- FOMO.
But seriously, I am really happy for you.
All of that being said, you look like you are having an amazing time and I only want the best for you. I know that when you come back you will have amazing stories that you can't wait to share with me and some of the girls that I am jealous of for being your best friend are actually b*tches who make you get in pictures with them. Continue posting instagrams and snapchats and having an amazing time because as much as I miss you and have FOMO I am also living vicariously through your life and am loving every minute of it.
Stay safe and have a blast,
XOXO
Your best friend who is waiting for you back home
