Dear best friends,

I want to take a second just to thank you.

I want to thank you for all the times you went out of your way to make me feel better, even when you were not in the right mindset yourself.

I want to thank you for letting me be my true and genuine self around you, and for accepting that person because I know a lot of people wouldn’t.

I want to thank you for dealing with my stupidity. I know I have my moments, but you put me straight and in a way that is not hurtful.

I want to thank you for giving me the best laughs of my life. The ones where I cant feel my face and my stomach hurts.

I want to thank you for putting up with my random days of sadness, and for not making me feel useless or hard to handle when I have those days.

I want to thank you for picking me up and pushing me forward.

I want to thank you for those nights I come crying to you over a boy, and for reassuring me that any boy who makes me cry is not worth my time.

I want to thank you for listening to me talk about my life and being there for me like my own personal therapists.

I want to thank you for allowing me into your homes and making me feel so wanted there. Not many people would open their homes to a stranger, and still make them feel so welcomed and loved.

I want to thank you for never turning your back on me even when we were having a rough time. We have our hard times, but at the end of the day there is nothing that could break our friendship.

I want to thank you for recognizing I am upset without me even having to say it. You almost know me more than I know myself, and you will be the first ones to call my bluff if I try to hide it.

I want to thank you for keeping me in line when I am being unreasonable or too sensitive. I know I can get sensitive and react in a way I should not. But you are always there to tell me to knock it off.

I want to thank you for recognizing my flaws but still loving me anyways.

I just really want to thank you for loving me unconditionally.

You have done so much more for me than you will ever know. You have made me feel loved when I thought I was unlovable. You have given me strength in times when I felt my weakest. I will forever be grateful for you, and I want you to know how much I appreciate you.

So from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you.

Thank you for being you.
