When we first met, I'm not going to lie... I thought you were all over the place. You seemed a little too much for me, but it turns out, you're exactly what I needed in my life, and now that you're in my life... I never want you to leave.
It seems crazy to think that we met almost three years ago because it seems like you've been in my life forever. I'll never, ever forget how much you made me laugh when we first met-- that's how I knew you were going to be in my life for a while. You see, for me... keeping friends has been hard over the years because we always drift apart, but considering you've been away for like four days and I'm going crazy without you makes me think that we hopefully won't drift apart, ever.
I know that I can be so hard to deal with sometimes, and I can be really closed off too and I'm sorry. I promise I'm working on that.
So I guess... I just wanted to give you a big thank you, and this is the best way that I know how to do that.
Thank you for finding me when I needed a friend.
I truly believe that you were put into my life for a reason. I've had a rocky relationship with myself, others, and God, and I truly feel that since I've met you, my relationship with all of those people have improved. You've helped me step out of my comfort zone and it's really helped me, and I hope that I do the same for you.
Thank you for always telling me when I'm wrong.
I happen to be wrong a lot, but I can be too proud to admit it. Especially when it comes to mixing up people like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj (at least I think that's who it was, excuse my old-lady brain. You always let me know when I can do better, and I really need that in my life, so thank you.
Thank you for always having what I need, and teaching me about teamwork.
Okay, I'm saying this literally and metaphorically. Mostly because you're an education major, you quite literally have everything. And I try to help you, but I can be quite hard-headed sometimes but I'm just learning to uh-- say things correctly? (Also, really could've used your help writing this, but that's okay, it's good for me to figure it out) Sometimes I forget to think before I speak, as you know. You've taught me a lot about teamwork, especially when it comes to wording some of my homework, thank goodness for your help.
Thank you for always having a shoulder to cry on.
I know I'm an emotional wreck, and I can be pretty crazy, especially when it comes to boys... I just wanted to say thank you for always letting me cry to you about the same boy or different boy, same problem. When it comes to boys, you're literally always there, and personally, I still think you should've gone into psychology, you give me some great help in this field believe it or not. You know what I'm referring to right? Let's just say squished hamburger buns for short. Trust me, I know... I'm learning my lesson because of you and your help; I really appreciate you.
Thank you for teaching me so much.
You've literally taught me so much about myself, about God, and about life itself. But most importantly, you've taught me a lot about friendship. You've taught me that friendship isn't always 50/50, and sometimes it can be like 20/80 or vice versa. It's all about support, and you've taught me that. You were the absolute best support I could ask for during my mental breakdown(s)-- I say that in plural because you and I both know that there's been more than one. I'm quite frankly shocked by how much you've taught me because I'm a very proud person, as you know. I let you in to teach me, and that's something I've never done before. You ultimately taught me that friendship is more than just a "like" on a selfie or a movie-date in the dorms. In particular, our friendship is laughing until we're close to peeing our pants or even late-night runs to WalMart for ice cream, knowing neither of us should get it or spend money but we do it anyway. Our friendship means so much to me, and I can't even begin to describe what my life would be like without you in it. You're literally the best friend I could ask for.
I want you to know that I'll always be here for you, and I have a few things I want to remind you of before I end this. I never want you to forget a couple of things.
I'm always here for you; even when I'm having a bad day, your bad day is equally as important as mine and I'll do my best to help your day get better because I know you've done that for me. You deserve so much in your life, and I pray that you get everything you want. I pray for you to live the happiest life you can live. Now, don't take offense to this next part, but... if I'm not referred to as "auntie" to your kiddo (when that time comes) I WILL THROW HANDS. Also... regarding your wedding... nah, I'll just leave it at that.
I love you so much, and honestly wish the absolute best for you. You're one of a kind, and you're brilliant. You're my best friend.
Signed,
Your best friend
P.S. I really miss you
