Dear My Other Half,

I don’t often tell you how you’ve change my life for the better when I know I should, and I never seem to tell you enough how much I need you. We keep each other sane and make each other laugh at the most awkward of things. You have brightened my world all these years we’ve been close which seems like forever, and although we don’t see each other as much as we would like, our bond grows stronger with every text and snap we send each other. I know that things don’t always go as we have planned, so I’m writing this open letter to you to remind you that everything is going to be okay even though it doesn’t seem like it now.

You have always been that tiny shoulder I needed to cry on and the friend I raided the fridge with, so let me be what you need now because even though there is an undesired distance between us, I am here for you. You may feel like everyone is gone and the world is changing around you, but as scary as it might be, we need change. Change is good, and trust me I’ve had to be reminded of that lately. Things can’t and won’t be the same forever, so take a deep breath and cry if you need to, but embrace the wonderful things I’m sure will come your way.

As we grow older and embrace this thing called “Adulthood”, responsibility is hurdled at us. It can be stressful, it is stressful. There are so many changes we have to accept which can be trying. For example, if you break something, which I did recently, you have to replace it with your money and not your parent’s which will probably be the end of me because I am such a klutz. I get it from you. We are finding our way in this world, and we will make mistakes. Knowing us, we will definitely make our fair share, but it isn’t the end of the world. You’ll be there to pick me up off the floor, and I’ll be there to drag you out of bed. We’re there for each other and that is never going to change.

I miss you more than I ever have before because our lives are changing so rapidly and we are both struggling with the idea of growing up. You’re my best friend, always have been and always will. Many people have noticed how similar we are, how we are basically the same person which has helped us grow so close. We can’t stay mad at each other; it’s impossible. So if you’re stressed and feel like the whole world is falling down on you, call me and I’ll help carry the weight and lighten your load. That’s what I’m here for because not only are you my person, you’re also my family, so I can’t get rid of you. I’m kidding I wouldn’t want to. I love you my other half, and if you don’t want to fight your battles alone, I’m always there to stand beside you and fight them with you.

Love,
