Forever friends are the people in your life that you know you are always going to be by your side. They are the ones that have stuck by you through thick and thin; the ones that will be next to you in your rocking chairs. This is a thank you letter to all the intelligent, loving, strong forever friends I have in my life.

Thank you for being there for me when I need it most.

Break-ups, bad test grades, or just an overall terrible day, you always know exactly how to comfort me.

Thank you for letting me be myself without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed,

Because let's be honest, I'm pretty embarrassing.

Thank you for the times when we were crazy.

Sometimes you just need a little excitement in your life.

And thank you for the times when we laid on the couch binge watching trashy reality TV and eating junk food.

Because I need those nights just as much.

Thank you for being honest with me.

Whether it's about the lipstick on my teeth or how that dress just bunches weird in the butt area.

Thank you for always being there when I need a shoulder to cry on.

Even if it's not in person, you always know how to cheer me up.

Thank you for cuddling with me.

Cuds' are always appreciated.

Thank you for listening to me rant.

Especially when it's basically about nothing, and I'm just in a bad mood.

Thank you for stalking my crush...

Sometimes even harder than I've stalked them.

Thank you for being just as ridiculous as me.

Thank you for building me up when I'm feeling down.

The confidence boosters and extra love really go a long way.

Thank you for ordering food with me at the butt-crack of dawn,

And not making me feel guilty for eating it.

Thank you for letting me send you screenshots of text messages and telling me how to reply.

Because I'm a disaster at flirting.

Thanks for the mems.

We have some of the best times in my whole life, and I wouldn't trade those moments for the world.

Thank you for understanding my invented language of facial expressions.

And knowing that eyebrow-raise-tilt-of-the-head means there is something funky going on over there.

Thank you for dancing with me.

Especially when I'm making a fool out of myself.

Thank you for holding me to a higher standard.

It's easy forget that you are strong, independent, and beautiful.

Thank you for understanding my crazy.

You know the reasons, and you never judge.

Thank you knowing me inside-out and loving me unconditionally anyway.

Love,

Your Eternally Grateful Friend
