Things happen, I understand. People change, I understand. We grow up, I understand. We find new things in life, I understand. But one thing that has stayed the same - you will always have a special kind of place in my heart. You've been my best friend for so many of the past years of my life. You've always been my go-to. When I was bored and wanted to start a new series, you were there. When I was tired and wanted to take a nap at two in the after noon, you'd text me 100 times until I woke up to come over. You were always there to make me smile and laugh, and occasionally laugh until I cry, or more secretly - until we pee. All of the inappropriate jokes, and endless memories - thank you. Thank you for being my best friend and always being there for me.
Your family became a second family to me. From asking your mom, "What's for dinner tonight" and then when she told me, the two of us looking at each other and saying "Ohhhh yeahhhh". Your entire family has had such an impact on my life - along with you. Here's a big thank you to your family. I love you guys.
But...something happened. We drifted apart. We grew apart. Life happened and now we aren't the same. We haven't laughed like we used to in a while, and that makes me sad. I miss you. I miss my best friend. I miss going to get Chinese too many times a week, and driving around listening to throwback songs singing at the top of our lungs at one in the morning. Doing dumb things. Drifting apart from your best friend is like losing a sister.
However, despite the fact that we've grown apart, I just want you to know that you are still, and always will be my best friend. Us becoming adults will not take away my best friend. I hope to always have you by my side. Despite us drifting apart from one another, I still want you to be my Maid of Honor when I get married. I still want you to throw me one hell of a Bachelorette party. You will always be my best friend.
I've learned that growing up means life changes. Everything about it. Including the people in my life. People come and go, but some are meant to stay. And during this hard, difficult and confusing time in our lives, you have to be smart about who you choose to see your future - and more importantly, be a part of it.
Despite the way this crazy world works, you'll always be my best friend. I love you!
