Dearest best friend,

When I met you, I never thought we would be as close as we are now. Someone could have told me way back then that we would be inseparable and I probably wouldn't have believed them. But now, we're far more than inseparable; you're my person.

You're the one person I can go to for anything without fearing judgement or constructive criticism, unless I truly need it. I can count on you to support me with anything, but also to tell me to stop being stupid, in the nicest way possible. But in the end, you're always there to lift and build me up. You're the one person who I can call up at any time of day and talk about literally whatever--from complaining about my pointless English class to telling you about a new outfit I just bought at the mall. You're always there to listen, support, give advice, and laugh along with me in person or over the phone while we are miles away from each other.

Going a week without you is like forgetting to breathe. I don't remember a time where I went a week without talking to you. Don't get me wrong, I've gone months without seeing you, but daily phone calls and texts are a must. There's nobody else I would want to call in the middle of the night when I'm overthinking everything in life and just need a few comforting words. Thanks for listening to each and every single rant I've ever had or for hugging me when I just need to cry.

My favorite thing about our friendship is that it's not high maintenance. We can be sitting in a coffee shop sipping our drinks and talking for hours on end, or laying in bed and not talking at all and still be fully satisfied both ways. I love our late night conversations, mini road trips, shopping hauls, and spontaneous adventures. Everything is fun and exciting when I am given the opportunity to spend it all with you.

Thanks for being my other half, mirror, and greatest friend. Thanks for showing me my worth when I needed it the most and helping to bring me out of my worst times. My favorite thing about you is that you can take anything awful and unfortunate, and make it a positive thing. You're always so optimistic and uplifting, and your encouraging spirit has gotten me through so many bad days. Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I would be so completely lost.

Thanks for everything you have done for me. Thanks for being the greatest friend I could have ever asked for. And thanks a million times for encouraging me to be the best version of myself. You're one in a million.
