Growing up is full of changes, both big and small. These changes can be scary and exciting all at the same time. Throughout life my mom always said "friends will come and go" this saying has been very true since I exited high school three years ago. People move on, change and are introduced into a whole new world! I wouldn't change any of the friends that I had/have. They have all taught me a lesson--some good and some bad but none that I regret.

Nothing beats a new friend, for some growing new friends can be scary...but that's just life. I see a new friend as an eye-opening experience, a fresh look at situations and life.

To my new friend -

Thank you. Thank you for coming into my life when I needed a change. When I needed a new outlook. Most of all when I needed someone to be in my corner. Our relationship is special it has no backstory and it is in the present. We are building our friendship on what we are experiencing now, and taking past mistakes and using them as learning devices.

Somehow we just "clicked." It was like we had been friends our whole lives. Rolling around on my bedroom floor basically peeing our pants because we couldn't stop laughing, experiencing our first "night out" (yup, sorry) and asking why your psycho self was up at 3 a.m., just like me.

We come from different background, we have seen different places, and we were raised differently.

You give me a new outlook, check me when I'm wrong, and remind me about how blessed I need to be. Somehow you have been honest, not afraid to speak your mind and most importantly not afraid to deal with my crazy self!

In these last few months you have watched me go through some of the most life changing experiences (yet, you still want to be my friend). Family issues, deciding what I want to do the rest of my life and you have even watched me cry (in public).

Thank you for putting yourself out there to the rest of my friend group, I know me dragging you in could not be easy and I'm sure there were times where you doubted what I was thinking! But thank you for trusting me.

Lastly, thank you for changing me as a person. My eyes are now a little more open, and I officially can say I have a new forever friend.
