As cliche as this may sound starting this off, thank you. Thank you for never giving up on me.

Thank you for always being here for me. Thank you for never judging me and always supporting me, my happiness, and my goals. You have no idea how grateful I am that you are all still in my life.

These past couple years have been hard ones for sure, but having you all by my side made it easier to go through. I don’t know what I would do without you.

I know we have gone through a lot ourselves and you haven’t always agreed with my decisions, but no matter what, you stuck it out and continued showing me unconditional love. That is true friendship.

When I felt like I had no one, you reminded me that I had you. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were right by my side.

When I needed a friend to vent to no matter what it was about, you listened. When I reached one of my goals or succeeded in an aspect of my life, you were there to support me and to be genuinely happy for me.

I may not be the best at sticking to plans, be way too dramatic, and tend to fall when I drink a little too much. But thank you for always being there to catch me when I fall, or to help me pick up the pieces to my night in the morning.

Thank you for the no-judgment policy in our friendship. Thank you for understanding I am not perfect and that half the time I end up canceling plans just to stay in bed because of my mood.

Thank you for accepting all my bad qualities and loving my good ones. Thank you for being YOU.

You all are one of a kind. The friends I have lost over the years just were not meant to be in my life, but I know all of you are. I have the best friends anyone could ask for, and I feel bad for anyone who does not have the same kind of support system that I do.

I know I am not perfect, but I promise I am worth it. I promise I am continuing to work on myself to be a better person and an even better friend to you all, the same way you’ve been amazing to me.

I may not tell you how much I appreciate and love you enough. Actually, I tell you all WAY TOO MUCH! But for the times I don’t say it enough and maybe you need a reminder, here it is. I will always support you the way you have supported me.

The way you guys have treated me has helped shape me into a better person, and all I want is happiness and success for each and every one of you. We all help each other strive in life, and that is what friendship should be about.

Thank you again for never giving up on me.
