According to the Merriam- Webster Dictionary, a best friend is "ones closest and dearest friend". To me, this is not accurate. During my short time here on Earth, I have been unbelievably blessed with having, not only one, but TWO best friends since the age of seven. But my best friends are not just my "closest and dearest friends", they are not really even my friends; they are the other parts of me, my sisters, my family, my people- my soulmates. Usually the term "soulmates" is related with relationships where you fall in love, get married, have kids, and die of broken hearts 60 years later. But my two best friends truly are my soulmates.

To My Best Friends,

Sometimes, I truthfully wonder how I have been blessed with two amazing people who stick by my side no matter what stupid things I say, what drama tries to come between us, or what arguments we have. You have put up with my numerous broken hearts, my complaining, my constantly changing laugh, my nervousness, my sadness, and so much more; and I will never be able to find the right words to thank you both enough for it. Having not only one, but two people to be able to go to with absolutely anything is such an amazing thing. When things get tough, I know no matter where I am, where you are, what things are going on, I have two amazing people constantly there for me.

People have come and gone, but you both have stayed. I know when we leave each other for college, keeping up with each other will get more and more difficult, but even when we do not speak for a couple days, we will pick up right where we left off.

When I do not believe in my self, you believe in me; when I do not have motivation, you motivate me; when I do not love my self, you love me; you are always there for me when I cannot be there for my self. You see through the surface to the real me. The me that is not always responsible, the me that sometimes does not know her limits, the me that overreacts, and you still stay through all the arguments and tears.

Thank you for knowing what is wrong when I do not even have to say a word. Thank you for giving me two more families. Thank you for making me feel comforted and for never letting me feel alone. Thank you for giving me the love and appreciation I never think I deserve. Thank you for making me laugh until I cry and for helping me stop crying by making me laugh. Thank you for keeping my head on straight and for knocking me down when I need it. Thank you for just being yourselves and for loving me unconditionally, even when I make it hard to.

I will never find two people quite like either of you and I know I will never have to because if we can make it through "friendsgiving", we can make it through anything. I love and appreciate you more than you will never know.

Love,

Your best friend.
