To my forever friend--because I don’t know what I would do without you.
Thank you for putting up with me all of these years. When I first met you, I had no idea we would ever be this close. I’m so glad you’re mine, and I never plan on letting you go.
I know I don’t get to see you very often anymore, but I mean it when I say you will forever have a special place in my heart. You’re always one text away, and I know whatever problems I may be facing, I won’t be tackling them alone. You always know exactly what to say to calm me down. Sometimes I may feel like I’m drowning in school, sadness, stress, or feelings I can’t even express, but you’re always the steady hand that pulls me back to reality and tells me everything is going to be okay. You laugh with me, cry with me, and put up with every emotion along the spectrum.
You’ve always had my back, and I’ll always have yours. You keep me grounded and give me the advice I need to stop me from making bad decisions. Still, you let me choose my own path and encourage me as I pursue my future. I trust you with all of my secrets, and you know you can trust me with all of yours. You help me make my life’s biggest decisions...and all of the slightly less important ones too. I know you roll your eyes every time I text you “What do I wear?” but still let me try on as many outfits as I need to in order to find the perfect one anyway. You’re my personal stylist, therapist, advice-giver, and go-to boy specialist.
I want you to know that nothing you do or say goes unnoticed. I keep all of the screenshots of your ugly snap chats and look through them and laugh whenever I need a little pick-me-up. And sometimes, I reread those random letters you would write me when you got bored during study hall to smile and reminisce over all of the memories we’ve made. We’ve come so far, and I’m glad I get to look back and see how much we’ve grown together. You make me feel beautiful in my own skin and confident to take on the world...and I’m thankful to know that you’ll be holding my hand as I do.
