Dear Long Distance Friends,
First off, let me start with saying how a day doesn't go by where I don't miss you. We've been through it all together from relationships, family problems to late nights laughing till our stomaches hurt. Growing up means leaving our comfort zones, and exploring parts of our life without each other. Just because meeting new people and going on adventures without each other, doesn't mean we won't always find our way back to one another.
Whether we talk everyday, or only occasionally, I always hope you're having a good day and life isn't stressing you out too much. We may be miles apart while you do your thing and I do mine, you will always be one of the most important people in my life. Every time something exciting or silly happens, the first people I think to tell are you guys. We went through such awkward and crazy times together that whatever I have to tell you guys, usually doesn't surprise you. I'd like to thank you guys for not judging my stories, whether it be the craziest thing you heard that week, or the most pointless thing you heard that week.
We're all making new friends that will be our friends for life, with that comes along with some distance because we see them everyday instead of each other. Just because we don't see each other everyday doesn't mean our friendship has weakened. I personally think it makes us stronger. We start following each other's new friends on social media and asking questions about them because we want to be friends with them as well.
You're the people who my family knows and loves, they never stop asking questions about how you guys are doing. The friendship we have is more like family than anything. When it's time to come home, I'll always be counting down the days till we get to run into each other's arms, almost knocking each other out every time. Then we're back in each other's homes laughing and telling our stories we've been dying to tell in person. Those are my absolute favorite moments, no matter the distance nothing has changed.
Growing up will never mean growing apart for us. I couldn't be more thankful that I found my people so early in life, while never having to worry about losing you. Never forget that if you're having a bad day or need someone to talk to, I'm always just a text, call or facetime away. Watching you fall in love with your school, sorority, job, or even a new boy brings me so much happiness because all I want is the best for you, even if that means I'm not there to see it. I'll be counting down the days till we get to stuff our face with food and dance till the morning, see you soon BFF!
Love,
Your Long Distance Friend
