I might not say it a lot, but I'm a really lucky girl. I've been blessed with such a supporting and loving family. I have the greatest man by my side. And let's not forget the small but incredible circle of friends I have surrounding me. Seriously, I don't think I would've survived without these people. I'm so thankful to have these psychopaths in my life.

As friends, we have all witnessed each other's ups and downs. We've been around for each other's mental breakdown over being unsure of our future, our first time's being away from home, our first time entering the adult world, and a plethora of heartbreaks.

I have to say, my group of friends are some of the rarest you can find. A few of them I've been friends with since elementary school and has stood with me till this very day. Some of them I started out my college career with and we embraced on this wild journey away from home together. Overall, it's a pretty special group I've got hanging around.

So, this is for each of you.

You have stood by me through every single heartbreak I had. You've stood by me through every 'fling,' every f**kboy, and every relationship. I called you crying in the middle of the night when I was doubting myself and my confidence was destroyed over a stupid boy. While you've been there with me through the bad, you've also been there through the good. You've supported me when I was happy and was open to meeting anyone I felt strongly for. You were willing to hear me repeat the same story 10 times just because I was happy. And especially now with my current boyfriend, you all have welcomed him with open arms. I thank you so much for that.

You're a special kind of person. You're a great listener (and you can't even deny that because think of how many stories you've heard from me throughout the years with my boy troubles,) you're an amazing person to confide in, you're kind and caring, you're honestly one of the greatest people I could have ever met.

I know you've been done wrong before too. I know that someone took your heart at one point and stomped all over it. I know someone kept you up at night crying wondering what you could have done better and where you went wrong. I know that your heart has been broken so much that you felt you could never feel anything for anyone again.

I just want you to know that you deserve everything. You deserve someone who will go out of their way to be the first person to talk to you in the morning and the last person you talk to before you go to sleep. You deserve someone who's going to make you laugh so hard you can't breathe. You deserve someone who reminds you everyday how special you are. You deserve someone who doesn't take 'I'm fine' as a response to 'are you okay' - you deserve the person who will either get on the phone or get in the car to come talk to you when you're not okay. You deserve someone who will go above and beyond for you.

One day that person is going to come along, and I'm going to so happy. I'm going to want to hear about it in full, excruciating detail. I'm going to want to help you figure out anniversary presents and birthday trips. I can't wait until this day comes because I know when it comes, I know you'll finally be with someone who loves you just as much as I do. You deserve all the love in the world, and nothing but the best. Please never settle for anything less than that.
