Dear Best Friend,

I know it might be tough right now to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe it's tough to eat, or even smile. Heartbreak hurts. I know it does.

Remember when you walked two miles to my house the night my ex broke up with me two years ago because there was a fire in my neighborhood? The firefighters wouldn't let you in but somehow you gave them your charm and stomped confidently to my house with Harry Potter and ice cream.

Your heart is going to mend. I know it may not seem like it right now, but it will. It may go in huge waves but know that that's okay. Sometimes, I had no idea what day it would be, if I’d be stuck in the water or above it but that was okay. You may be on the surface or drowning too, but know that it’s okay to be both. It’s okay to drown as long as you reach the surface and allow the surface to be seen once in a while.

I'll be there, on the surface, waiting for you each and every time you take a breath. Heck, I'll even go into that water with you and hang on for dear life.

I know you don't hate the guy right now who did this to you. But know that I will hate him for you. Because you deserve better. I know, that's what everyone says but you do. You deserve someone who will fight for you, love you unconditionally, choose you over anyone, and will stand by your side.

Do not be sorry for trusting him. Do not be sorry for loving him. Do not be sorry for falling for him. Never apologize for being human because that's what you are and that's what humans do....we want to trust and we love.

You may be thinking, how can anyone love me, if this guy can't? Well, I'm here to tell you that that is the biggest can of bull because you are the most lovable person I know, and I'm not just saying that because you're my best friend. I'm saying that because you are selfless.....always putting others before yourself. You are radiant when you speak about the things you are most passionate about. You are special. More than you'll ever know.

He got to see a bit of that and I'm glad he did. Because one day, maybe months from now, he'll be sitting on his couch with his stupid guitar writing a song about you...realizing you were the diamond he lost an all his rough.

You are so strong. As strong as my fist will be in his face if I see him one day. Yes, that strong but please know that it gets better. I promise you. Even if sometimes you break down getting in the shower or start crying at a restaurant because someone said the wrong thing at the wrong time, and you don’t know how you are going to get through it. I promise it gets better.

You are so strong. Losing yourself through this process allows you to get yourself back up one hundred times stronger, one hundred times better and one hundred times happier.

Sometimes, we have to get lost before we find ourselves. So, I'll be here with you running in all the wrong directions hand in hand, and of course the right ones too. But we will do it together screaming at the top of our lungs showing the world nothing can break us.....not even men who are too ignorant too realize what they had lost.
