Where do I even begin? You guys have been my best friends for what like 7 years? I feel like I have known you my whole life! We have been through you so much together and even fallen out a few times. As we grow we clash and then come together, but no matter what we always have each other’s backs. I mean what are best friends for right?
You guys are my chosen family; the ones I can go to talk about my actual family. The ones I run to when no one else understands the troubles I face. Even if those troubles are just a food craving. You guys are the ones I have a group chat with just to talk about crap about other people. I mean we use it for a lot of other things but, let’s be honest, it’s mostly talking crap.
We have years of inside jokes that really no one else would understand like, “lemme get dem cheese sticks,” or, “lemme get dem digits,” and so on. Along with those inside jokes come with years of flirting with each other and learning information about each that we aren’t really sure we wanted to know (But, we won’t get into that).
If I were to list all the memories I had with all of you, it would at least be 3000 pages. Things like giving us all kisses before getting on a plane to Florida, the many many chorus and theater events we all were apart of (I hope it’s a leg lamp, or The Holly and the Ivy), singing like idiots in the car and in public places, the many graduations (past, present, and future), the trips to other states and the list goes on and on.
I know I can’t possibly fit everything I want to say into this letter, but I want you all to know that I love and appreciate you all so much! And that as we grow older and start our adult lives we are still always there for each other. If we can live through 2 out of 6 people moving out and back into NC more than once and everyone going off to college/work at different places then honestly, we can survive anything. I mean it when I say you are my chosen family, and family means no one gets left behind.
As I write this letter and reflect back on our memories, I honestly know that I can’t live without you guys. No matter how mad I get, or you get at me, because let’s be honest I am a handful, I would miss you all so much. And I hope you guys would miss me too. This letter isn’t even half of what I want to say to you guys so maybe more letters are to come, but I think this will do for now. And remember, you guys are for life, you guys are my chosen family, Jesus take the wheel, we are all about 6% lesbian (if not more), we cannot speak full mouth, yellow means go slow, and fish are friends not food.
