Dear Bestie,

First of all, you're one of my favorite humans on this planet. You already know how much I love you, and that I'm here for you even if I'm not actually physically there. I see all of your joys and your strengths. How much you love all animals (especially cats), how tea somehow transforms you from grumpy to happy like Cinderella, and even how the gym is your anger outlet. After 8 years of friendship, I know you to the T, and the best part of that is I've learned to let you be when you need space, and when to bring you endless bags of chocolates and flowers. As much as I want to give you space until you're ready to talk, I've got to say one thing.

I've seen you transform your life from rock bottom to accomplishing so much. You were once the party girl who never said no, to a strong dignified woman who is sober, smart, and focused on achieving her dreams. You are already a role model, and that is why people are now gravitating towards you, and more significantly, leaving you.

I know your hurt and lonely right now. But let's get real. He wasn't a winner anyways. He's a dime a dozen! I've seen you with more than a few of the same type of guy and I am sick of seeing you go through "love" and heartbreak so often.

What I wish for you is that you will give yourself time to heal on your own. It is so easy for people to run into another set of arms because they feel lonely, sad, and hurt. What you need right now girl, is some brutally honest nights alone. I wish you could realize that by running from soul to soul you are being reckless with your own heart. Babe, stop! You are more than enough on your own. You don't need a man by your side in order for you to be loved. You NEED to love you. You've got to love YOU so much that it would move mountains. I feel like if you already loved yourself, you wouldn't put yourself through the emotions and attachments of a toxic relationship. Because if you loved yourself, you wouldn't date boys who clearly are not as badass as you.

Girl, you are TOO good for these boys. And I have faith that you'll get a decent one in the near future. But I'm requiring that I approve of him first. Just kidding. Kind of. ;)

I love you, and I'm always here for you no matter what.

All my love,
Your BFF.
