For a long time I never got the opportunity to have a best friend. I am an only child that truly enjoys alone time and keeping to themselves. I never felt like i had to have a "person" or someone that I would turn to in every moment of pain, sadness, laughs, or heartbreak. There was never a void for me. Never something that I was out there searching for someone to fill it with. I had no best friend and for me, that was just fine.

In 2015 a wonderful person who shared my love of eyeliner and hate of all other people came into my life and began to drive me crazy. But the best part of it all, she let me do the exact same to her! My best friend has an amazing personality, she's there no matter what and she never lets me forget that in the end it always works out. She is my best friend because she doesn't buy into sappy romance movies (but that never stopped us from watching them). She and I never run out of things to say to each other, yet we don't mind the silence shared between us.

We've been through more than most people have together. Most people would say we are more like sisters than best friends, including us! We never fight but always have those fun and hilarious arguments about who has gone longer without a date and why shaving your legs is entirely unnecessary. Through endless episodes of Teen Mom 2 and tears being shed and laughs being shared and slurpees and STARBUCKS (basically out home away from home) we fell in love with each other and ourselves. We remind each other daily to be strong and that we are both beautiful in our own ways.

I will never forget the time she hit me in the face, she doesn't remember doing it but i definitely remember being smacked in the face. That is one wonderful memory we will probably never forget, or at least one that I am never going to let her forget....

Thank you for letting me be apart of all the big moments and the little ones! Thank you for all the memories and slumber parties and the hours of my life I lost trying to hook a ChromeCast up in a hospital. Thank you for being my best friend. I love you for all of our coffee dates and hand holding and people thinking we are a lesbian couple. I love you for all that you do and all the support you give me, even when we are both falling apart. I thank you for sharing your life with me and for constantly having gossip for me.

Without you I would have died alone because I hate people and this is why we are meant to be best friends. I love you best friend, thank you for doing life with me.
