A few months ago I was writing an open letter to my best friend. I was upset most of the time because I knew that since I left for a college so far away from home that we wouldn't really talk anymore. I thought me being in college was the end of our friendship for the time, and honestly, it was.
I had trouble making friends in nearly every school. If I were lucky, I met one person that introduced me to become "acquaintances" with other people. To sum it up, my relationships consisted of people I liked to call my "friends" but who I never actually talked to outside of a particular class or school.
My best friend is the one person that stuck around long enough to build a bond with.
As soon as college came, things changed a lot. I moved nearly two hours away and hardly ever saw her. With no license or car, it became hard to visit. I got to school and had seven roommates, making it easy for me to "forget" things at home. It happened that every time I tried to visit her, my plans would be canceled and that pushed us even farther apart.
But recently I finally got to see her again, and it just reminded me that I never did lose her.
So here's another letter:
Dear Best Friend,
So... I'm sorry I doubted our friendship. We've been through a lot together, and you're like a sister to me. What are friends for?! Of course, everyone fights from time to time, and we don't get to see each other 24/7 after high school. I'm not sure why I thought our friendship would end after high school. I'm just glad we didn't end up like those people that were once best friends and later will never talk to each other again in their life.
After the years we have had apart from each other when I manage to visit you, it's like we never left each other, back to our old ways. Not one unenjoyable moment.
Oh, how I can't wait for you to go to Michigan State, so you'll be closer to me. Plus it'd be kind of cool to go to some State parties together.
It's always nice to know that we will always have each other's backs. There may have been a pause in our relationship for a little while, but it's better now, and I'm so grateful to have ya' in my life.
From one friend to another, never let go of your close friends, because there are just some people that are needed in your life.
So thanks so much for letting me come around after all the things I said. I'll be around soon I promise. This time, I'm not going to let every little setback ruin the chance for me to come down. We need to hangout soon!
Love,
Me.
P.S. don't let little things keep you apart from certain people. I say it's always a positive thing to have some great people in your life.
