I never expected to become best friends with you. When I met you, I just thought you were one of my brother’s friends that just so happened to be at my house that day. It’s funny how we actually became friends though. You were sitting across from me at my dining room table and you asked my brother’s friend if my name was spelled right and then you added me on Facebook.
I got the notification and in the back of my mind, I was like “This girl is insane, who does that.” A week later we were friends on Facebook, Snapchat, and we followed each other on Instagram. Ever since then, we have talked about everything there is to talk about, too many adventures to name, and been each other’s late night phone calls.
The timing of all of this was perfect though.
We were both having hard times in our personal lives that no really knew about
and then we became friends, it all spilled out and we told each other
everything. So this letter is for you, my sweet friend.
I honestly never had a true best friend until you came along. I never really trusted people and I wasn’t too fond of the idea of most of the things that girls my age was doing like partying and drinking, it was just never my scene. But you made it easy for me to trust and open up to you.
I don’t think anyone knows me better than you. You always know when I’m not in the best mood or when something is wrong and you also know when to give me my space until I am ready to talk. You are my person. You are my brownie.
Thank you for always singing with me in the car because anyone else would go deaf by our singing. Thank you for always wanting to buy $30 in fast food and eat it with me, debating if we should work out after (who am I kidding, we don’t work out?).
Thank you for helping me get out of a terrifying situation and giving me reassurance throughout. Thank you for always making sure I know my worth and for boosting my confidence when I need it. Thank you for giving your honest opinion especially when you know I am about to make a bad decision.
I am so proud of you. For who you are and who you will be, I am so proud of you. I know it takes a lot out of a person to go through the things you have the past couple of months but I know you are the strongest person I know for handling it all.
And I might add, handling it beautifully. Wherever life takes you know that I’ll always be a text or phone call away and that I will always be proud of you because I know how far you have come.
You are my person, you are my brownie, and I’ll love you 30 years from now. Thank you for everything you do.
