Dear Best Friend,

You came into my life at a time when I didn't want to let anyone else in, little did I know how much you would end up meaning to me. I didn't realize how much doing yoga in sophomore year gym class with a girl I just met would eventually change my life.

First of all I want to thank the girl that brought us together. Even though she eventually turned into someone we no longer talk to, its all because of her that I met my best friend. If I wouldn't have signed up for that gym class with her, who knows what we would both be doing right now. 

We have the type of friendship that will last us a lifetime. We can go days without talking because we don't feel the need to constantly check up on the other one, we need to live our own lives and we both know that spending every waking moment with someone doesn't always turn out to be a good thing. 

We've been through a lot together, through the high school friend drama, the boy drama to even the family drama you've stuck by my side through it all and for that, I can't even begin to thank you enough. 

Thank you.

Thank you for welcoming me into your life with open arms and for never leaving. When we first became friends, we were standing in the locker room before gym class and we were talking about all the past friendships we've had that didn't work out. You looked at me and said " just so you know, if somehow we ever end up not being friends anymore, I'm always here for you no matter what. I want you to know you always have somebody to talk to" and you meant it. When we ended up not talking for a year because I left a mutual friend group, the only hard part was leaving you in that group. But I called you and asked you to get lunch about a year later and well here we are now.

Together we successfully graduated high school, high-fived the Backstreet Boys, FGL, Nelly, and Chris Lane. We survived a 3 hour road trip in a snow storm, a summer spent being yelled at by your sister to drive her everywhere under the sun, but we did it all together. 

College hasn't been the best thing for us. Having to live 2 hours away from someone I've lived 10 minutes away from for the past 4 years of our friendship hasn't been great but if anything we've grown closer. 

Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for me.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend
