Some people may look at us and wonder how we became best of friends. I mean, they say that “opposites attract”. But I think that saying isn’t just meant for relationships; I like to believe it’s meant for friendships as well.

When we first met, we had the same group of friends but we barely spoke to one another. Eventually the group grew apart, and I’m happy to say that we grew closer. At first, I felt like you couldn’t stand me; I remember constantly annoying you. Chasing you through the house with a ferret - I still laugh at that to this day.

As years pass by, we have grown insanely close and I’m glad that it’s happened. I have so many reasons why I'm glad to have you in my life, but I wish I told you more often how much I truly appreciate you. These are some of the reasons why I value your friendship:

1. You're my biggest supporter.

You have been the one person who has been proud of what I’ve achieved so far. You have been my biggest supporter not just though the bad things, but you have always been there to celebrate my biggest achievements, and I always look forward to telling you big news.

2. We can go days without talking and pick up where we left off.

They say best friends talk everyday, but not us - we don’t have to. But when we hang out, we always have the best of times and pick up right where we left off and I’m thankful for that!

3. When I fall down dark paths, you're one person that sticks by my side.

You always know when something is wrong, you can just look at me and detect that something is truly bothering me and you won’t leave me alone until I tell you what’s going on.

4. No matter how annoying I am, you put up with me.

I truly annoy myself, and I don’t know how how you put up with me. But you do and I’m so grateful for that!

5. You work hard for what you want and you never give up.

The way that you follow your heart and want to achieve your dreams is so inspiring. You’ve been through hell and back, but you’ve never given up and you have never stopped until you got what you wanted.

I love you to death!! Thank you for all you do!
