To my bestie:

Our departure time is soon as I can see the train to new and better beginnings approaching. College. Our ongoing six years of friendship has felt like a lifetime filled with ups and downs. But no matter our miles apart I know our friendship will stay the same. You know the saying from "Grey's Anatomy?" "She's my person." Well yeah, you're my person. When anything ever went wrong in my life, you were the first person I had to go to. We have grown so much together, but I think I forget to say how thankful I am at times. Here are all the reasons I have to thank you for.

Thank you for always picking me up when I was down-

When I cried for days because of that boy or because my life felt as if it was falling apart, you were always there with positive wisdom that made it seem like everything was going to be okay.

For helping me become who I am-

You always cheered me on in the ventures I was in which brought me to better places in my life. I have entailed some amazing traits with the influence of you.

For being my other half-

As cliche as this saying is, it's completely true with us. I feel as if the universe intertwined our souls together. You just get it, and get who I am without asking any questions. You already know how I'm feeling about a situation before I even say anything. We read each others minds sometimes, it's scary.

For having my humor-

From the strangest to the dumbest, the stuff we laugh about is endless. Thanks for always being a complete idiot with me wherever we are, even if it's in public.

For always being down for anything-

From the late night slushie runs, to recording a rap (where we happen to sound completely terrible) to sneaking on a roof, you always have the best ideas and spirit when it comes to spontaneity.

For always being positive-

Even when our worlds were filled with hate and ignorance you always had something good to say. Just by taking a different approach on a situation made it so much better.

And of course, just thank you for being you.

Your generous free spirit is one of a kind that I truly feel grateful I get the chance of being in the presence of. You don't get told this enough but you're great.

It seemed like just yesterday we were laying in my driveway at 2 in the morning talking about our dreams and the future. Scary now to think that day has finally come. Thanks for being my best friend for so long and making so the greatest memories, and here's to many more.
