To My Best Friend Who’s Transferring,
As we get nearer and nearer to the time that our next year of college starts, I think about how I won’t have you with me like I did last year. Part of it saddens me, but I know it’ll be okay. Things change, including the things we want in life and how we can achieve them. I wish you weren't leaving, but don't think for a second that I don't want anything but the best for you.
I'm so glad that we met, and that we have all the memories that we do. Of course, those won't go away or fade away, but I'm going to miss being able to make new ones with you every day. I also hope you know that many of our memories will never be topped by new ones, no matter what. I'm also so grateful that we have become as close as we have because having a friend like you in my life has been one of the best things to ever happen to me.
I also know that our bond can't be broken and that we'll always be two peas in a pod whether we are a bed away, a room away, a floor away, minutes away, or hours away. We're more like siblings rather than best friends. Distance can't change that, no matter how far you may be going, or how many times I may or may not get to see you. Friendship is friendship and we've developed the best. I want you to know that you're always going to be the best of best friends to me and that you'll never be replaced as my first forever friend that I made at school.
I wish you the most on your new adventures with the new people around you, and hope that they bring nothing but joy and friendship into your life and I’m not afraid to back you up on the ones who don't. I can't wait for the new crazy stories, even though I know I'll experience some of them firsthand with you and also be able to share some of my own.
We're both in the midst of following our dreams and taking the paths that are required to become the people we want to be. We might be without one another, but sometimes it takes a few sacrifices to achieve our goals and this one is okay because it's not really a sacrifice; it's just a big change and one we might be more grateful for than we think.
I hope you know that going to different schools will not change any aspect of this relationship to me and that I am always a phone call or train ride away. I'll always be a place of familiarity and friendship for you and whenever you need me, I'll be here. I love you and I'm so grateful for you.
Cheers to our new journeys.
Love,
Your First College Forever Friend
