To my very best friends, first off I want to let you know how proud I am of the both of you.
You both are living your lives and chasing your dreams. There is nothing more in this world that I would want for you, and the fact that you both are excelling in everything makes me even happier than I was before. I’ve been meaning to write a letter to the both of you since graduation, but was at a loss of words. I just couldn’t imagine not being with each other all the time, after being friends since elementary school.
As time passed, and our summer together came to a close I was hit with a realization. That when the summer ended we would not be going to see each other everyday like we used to. From the start of our friendship being the fall of 2005 and still being best friends in 2017 something hit me. That no matter the distance between us that we were forever friends and that nothing will tear us apart. As the number of our countdowns to college decreased little by little, it had me thinking of all the memories we endured together. All of the sleepovers, breakfast dates, birthday celebrations and so much more. Although we had made so many memories with other friends over the years, our memories were my absolute favorites.
Of course the day where we had to leave for school eventually had come, and it was the day we all were trying to forget about. Of course I was the one to leave first, and let’s say it wasn’t easy. Before even seeing each other that night, all of the memories we made came flooding into my head. I began to ask myself, how is this the last time we’re going to see each other for a few months? And most importantly how am I going to survive?
When we left each other that night, there was a part of me that was trying to forget that we would be leaving. But I knew it was for a good reason, so that the three of us can step out into the real world. My biggest hope and wish that night was for the two of you to have the best time in college and to be the amazing people you both are.
The thing is, when we left for school, we knew that we would be making new friends and that would be tough to balance our time, but we did it. No matter what, we were always a text, snapchat, or phone call away. No matter the distance we have between us, we always make time for each other and I think that that’s what makes our friendships so strong. That no matter what happens that we are always there for each other.
So a quick little shoutout to your new friends at college:
Take good care of my best friend, you are so very lucky to have her. You are the luckiest people in the planet to have her as your friend and that I am extremely envious of the fact that you can spend all your time with her. She is priceless and deserves the world. Even though she might not think she is, she’s the perfect person and should be treated like it. You might not realize it now, but your life completely changed for the better, because the best person you will ever meet just walked into it.
I believe that you deserve the world, and nothing short of it. As the past couple months went by, my life had really flipped upside down, and I wouldn’t have been able to survive without your constant love and support. You texted me saying how there isn’t anything you wouldn’t do to be with me at this tough time and that’s how I knew I was lucky and that I would never be alone when times get tough because I have the greatest friends in the world. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and you are always there for me whenever I needed a facetime crying sesh or just something to cheer me up.
Never ever forget that you will always be important, to so many people and especially to me. I am so lucky to have the strongest, smartest, kindest, most beautiful best friends in the world, and I am not looking forward to anything more than being all together again.
I Love you from forever, until forever,
Love,
Your forever grateful best friend
