To my GBFF,
First off, I want to say thank you. Thank you for putting up with my crap, no matter what the crap might have been. From calling you at 3 a.m. to listen to me whine or driving 600 miles to a college interview, you are always there. Our friendship has become something I can always go back to and enjoy no matter how much time has passed or how far apart we might be.
Thank
you for always allowing me to rely on you. Sometimes it's making me feel
good about myself. Other times, it’s exposing my cynical side or
just making fun of me in a way I can’t help but laugh at. You have
become far more than a friend to me; you’ve become a sort of a safe
place for me. Also, thank you for pretending to be my boyfriend
during the few times I’ve been hit on by creepy men. You are proof
that chivalry is not dead–even if it is only pretend, you still
always manage to open all the doors for me.
The
most important thing I want to say thank you for is being honest.
Surely, I can always count on you to give your unfiltered opinion, even if it's hard to hear. You are always looking out for my best
interest, especially when it comes to being honest and letting me
know what the best drink is at Starbucks. You always have my back. It
was with your help and honesty that I was able to make the right
decisions and figure out who I am as a person. It is because of you
that I know that, a lot of time, we have to fall before we can improve.
As
far as relationships–and when guys come and go in your life–I
promise to put your best interest first and give you the best advice
possible so I can be as wonderful a friend as you have been to me.
I also promise to watch every movie that Melissa McCarthy makes with
you because she is your favorite. And you know you can always count
on me for a trip to Lush to get bath bombs and face masks!
Although we haven’t known each other for more than a couple years, it feels like it’s been a lifetime. I am beyond blessed to have had the chance to get to know you. It has been an amazing time we’ve had together, hasn't it? I only hope that this friendship will last on into the future. So one day we can look back on all the times we have shared and the memories we have made. And here is to the many more to come!
Love always,
Your best girl friend
