Dear Soul Sister,
Your calendar isn't lying to you: It's not your birthday, nor is it a holiday. So why am I writing this? To remind you of how much I love you.
When we first met, I had no idea that we’d become so close. I just thought of you as some cousin, who I was never going to see again. But to my surprise, I found myself clicking with you faster than I have with anyone else (Which we have Troy to thank for). Despite the “barrier” that distance poses to most people, it only made our friendship stronger. I’m at my most comfortable when I'm talking to you, and I love the fact that we can just pick up where we left off whenever we visit each other.
Even though I've known you for over four years, I'm still in awe that I can say that one of the strongest people I know is my best friend. You've been through so much, but instead of letting it turn you bitter, you grew from it; making you wiser, kinder and more compassionate (Though you won’t put up with any f*ckboys crap). Watching you grow has been a pleasure, and I can only hope that you see me in a similar light.
These past few years have been a whirlwind of emotions, but it's okay because I’ve had you by my side. Whether I need a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to, or a wake-up call to reality, you're always willing to fulfill that role. Your support means the absolute world to me, and I don't know where I'd be without it.
I hope that our relationship continues to grow and prosper, and that everyday is filled with more happiness and laughs.
Love always,
Amanda
