To My Hometown Friends,

Thank you for believing in my dreams, even when I don't. Your support means more to me than you'll ever understand. You motivate me in ways that no one else could. If I fail I'm not only failing myself, but I’m also failing you. So thank you for your never ending support and pushing me to continually follow my dreams, even if I sometimes question what my dreams even are.

Thank you for always forgiving me. Of all the fights we may have had and all the times I messed up, you have always forgiven me even when I probably shouldn't have been forgiven. I'm blessed beyond words to have friends who see past my mistakes and imperfections.

Thank you for never giving up on our friendship even when we all went out separate ways after graduation. There are few people who can say they talk to their hometown friends every single day and I feel beyond blessed to be able to say that I do. Without you, I’d be lost.

Thank you for always being there when I need someone to rant to. I can be dramatic at times and sometimes I just need to let things out and you are all always there to listen. Even if you don't reply every time, it's nice knowing there is someone there to just listen to me, even when I'm annoyed at the littlest things.

Thank you for always caring about my safety and if I'm okay. In college, we all do some questionable things and it's nice having people that always care about you, even if they're an hour away.

Thank you for caring about my happiness and doing anything possible to make sure I'm always happy. Your happiness is my happiness and vice versa.

Thank you for always giving me the honest truth even when it's hard or I don't want to listen. They say honesty is the best policy and although it's sometimes hard to hear, thank you for always telling me what I need to hear.

Thank you for making me laugh like no one else possibly can and for always laughing at my jokes. I believe life is best spent laughing and there are no people funnier in my life than you. It's rare people make me laugh over text message, but you guys always manage to do just that. So thank you for making me laugh even when I'm in the worst of moods. There's no one funnier than all of you and I mean that.

Thank you for constantly hanging out with me and always making it enjoyable. No matter what we do, I always feel like I had the best time. Time spent with you all is never time wasted. Something as simple as driving around or going to sonic never gets old.

And lastly thank you for being you. No matter how much the circumstances change in our lives or how much we may change, I know our friendship never will. Your friendship means the absolute world to me. I love you forever and ever.
