To my Best Friend,
We met a little bit later on in life at a halloween party for a mutual friend, but our friendship has since bloomed. This is my thank you letter to you (you know who you are). Thank you for all you have done for me. You have taught me what it means to genuinely care for other people.
We have so many memories that it’s hard to recount them all. However, the one that stands out the most is the time we took a train to Boston for the weekend. It was one of the most fun weekends I have had ever.
Albeit one of the most tiring and coldest weekends I’ve ever experienced in my 22 years of life. I remember you texting me one night saying “let’s go visit our friend” and I was all like yeah okay, I can’t afford that and my parents will never let me do that.
But I was wrong, to my surprise, my parents were okay with the idea of us going. So we hopped on a train a month later and spent the weekend visiting friends in the Boston area. I also remember when we explored the city of Philadelphia for my 21st birthday. It was very interesting, considering the fact that I had only been there once before and you had never been there before. Essentially it was the blind leading the blind.
However, it’s not the traveling that I enjoy most. My all time favorite memories are the countless times that we hang out randomly. We’ll be bored and alone texting each other about how bored and alone we are and then we decide to just hang out. We don’t necessarily always “go out” but we always find time to hang out, even if it’s just sitting in my basement. Or our countless random trips to target even though neither of us need anything from Target.
You are going through a rough time right now, but I wanted to just say thank you. You are honestly and undoubtedly one of the sweetest most genuine people I know. You’ve stayed by my side through everything. You’ve been there for me through the process of losing “friends”, through family troubles, and through my most recent endeavors of going away to college.
When I left for school I was afraid that our friendship might become one of history. But that did not change. I realize that no matter how far away we are, we are always one phone call or one text away. With that being said I want you to know that no matter what happens I will always be there. My phone is always on and I’m always there to talk if you need it. You are truly one of a kind.
Love always,
Your Best Friend.
