My best friend is currently 80.4 miles away. That’s 141,504 yards, 424,512 feet and 5,094,144 inches. Although this may not seem far to some, to us it's like opposite sides of the world. From seeing each other basically everyday for four years to suddenly being apart, it has not been easy. But the thing that is so amazing about our friendship is that we can make it work wherever we are. My best friend may be far, but we have never been closer.
My best friend is my other half. She makes the good parts about me shine and the bad parts somehow be hidden. She knows every little thing about me, and I her. We know what each other are thinking before the other even has a chance to speak. It’s crazy to think that we have only known each other for such a short time, when it has felt like a lifetime. I always love going back to our freshman year pictures and looking at how far both of us have come.
Best friend, thank you. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on when things got tough. Thank you for being there through it all, no matter how crazy things got. You have been there through every monumental moment in my life as well as all of the little moments. Thank you for dancing with me in the car and for going on random adventures. Thank you for being my soul sister. Thank you for being my best friend. The way that we get each other is so amazing, it’s like you’re my other half. I can’t imagine ever not having you in my life, so you’re basically stuck with me. You're the Kendall to my Kylie, the Blair to my Serena, and the Meredith to my Christina.
I am so sad that I don’t get to see your face everyday like I did in high school, but I love our snapchat and FaceTime dates. I am so beyond proud of you, and I love watching you succeed in college. You’re going to do great things in this world, and I can’t wait to come visit you wherever life may take you. I have never had a best friend like you, and I know our friendship is one that will last forever. So here’s to you and to our friendship. I look forward to many more years of memories and laughter to come. I love you, thank you for being my best friend.
