Thank you. Thank you for not taking advantage of me. Thank you for not pretending to care. Thank you for showing true interest in me and my life. Thank you for supporting me in everything I do. Thank you for being brutally honest in any circumstance. And thank you for simply showing me what a real friend is.
In my life I have had many friends that came and went like I meant nothing to them. These friends hurt me in ways that I never would’ve imagined. But the truth is, I am the one who let them hurt me. I thought that they were my real friends and that they truly did care about me, but I was wrong. I was broken because of them, and you came in to fill the parts of me that needed fixing. You led me to realize that the past wasn’t actually my fault and that those “friends” really weren’t worth it.
Without you walking into my life at the moment that you did, I don’t know where I would be today. Those so called “friends” led me to believe that I wasn’t worth anything, and that I wasn’t a good person. Sadly, I believed them and was torn apart as I thought that I didn’t even know who I was anymore. These “friends” were toxic to my health. They hurt me, caused me to react on impulse, gain an attitude, and make it harder for myself to control my anger.
But here’s where you came in. You enabled me to see that there is more to myself than just an angry girl that doesn’t know how to control her emotions. You helped me to just talk things out and not act on impulse. You gave me the strength and courage that I needed to see that I am a great person. Ultimately, you were my saving grace. You put me back into my place, guided me down the right paths, and stayed with me every step of the way.
As the years have gone on, I have realized many differences between my real and fake friends. I have done all that I can for myself to make sure that the fake friends stay away and that I surround myself with the few real friends that I have. My past has strengthened me to be the bigger and better person that I am meant to be. But without you, I wouldn’t have been able to see that strength. I appreciate you more than you will ever know especially because you have done so much for me that has gone unnoticed.
Thank you for putting me on my feet again, guiding me to make the right decisions, and enabling me to see the differences in real and fake friends. You are loved, and I appreciate you very much. I am beyond grateful that you know and love me for who I am, and I will do anything to fight for our friendship. Thank you for making me the strong, independent, and loving woman that I am today.
