A Thank You To My Long Distance Best Friend

Even though she lives over 800 miles from me, we are better friends than anyone can ask for.

A Thank You To My Long Distance Best Friend
Makenna Lilly

Thank you to my best friend who decided to be open with me when you did not need to be. Thank you for being that arm to support me when I have went through difficult things that I did not feel comfortable sharing with anyone. Thank you for making me laugh so hard that I cried. Thank you for giving me words of advice. But most of all, thank you for being the carefree person you are.

Thank you for never acting like we were strangers.

We started communicating on Snapchat to get to know each other right after Christmas. Our friendship was pretty automatic. We both showed pleasure horses, had gaming horses, and were about the same age. Our backgrounds definitely differ but that never stopped us. Split parents versus my parents that have been together for 18 years. You have an older brother whereas I have a younger one.

Thank you for accepting me, even though we are different.

The biggest difference being our spirits. We are completely opposite in that aspect. I am a super grounded person. I live in a small town of 200, so it is hard to find something interesting to do. You are definitely the free-spirit. You challenges boundaries and pushes me outside of my limits.

Thank you for letting the distance make us better friends.

Living so far apart, I have to keep you in on everything going on. I tell you the guy I am crushing on, who I am fighting with, what I am doing with my horses, and so much more. We never censor ourselves, which is the best part of our friendship. We can tell each other anything and not feel like we are being judged. We give each other honest advice, even when we do not ask for it. I cannot remember a time when we have not talked for a day. Either we are chatting on Snapchat or calling each other!

Thank you supporting me through everything!

I appreciate everything you have done for me. From the time that I got on an untrained horse to winning a quad-state judging event. Your support was not just from the good things. You supported me when I quit my first job, broke-up with a guy I really cared about, and so many other things that should not be voiced to the public. You have been there through by biggest accomplishments and my worst nightmares.

Thank you for never acting like you are better than me.

Even when she is better at something than I am, she never tells me. She never acts like her way is better than mine. We both do the same thing completely different and sometimes we do not get the same result. If one of us has done something that the other has not, we never feel insecure asking for advice. This is the thing that you can never thank someone for enough.


Thank you to my best friend. I cannot imagine life without you!

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before...

One of the things that I love most is space. I am a HUGE space nerd. Literally ask any of my friends. I was first introduced to space when my dad dragged me to see Star Trek. Since walking out of that movie theater in 6th grade, becoming an astronaut hasn't been just some wild dream that could come true.
