Dear my, not so childhood best friend,

We weren’t even that great of friends in high school but senior year/freshman year of college was the best one yet.

No, we didn’t grow up together but everyone thinks we did. Yes, you’re still my best friend despite the miles between us and you always will be. Distance just won’t change a thing when it comes to this friendship!

Thanks for always being here for me any time I need you.

You’re someone I can count on and call at any hour of the night. You get my sense of humor, my stupid jokes and somehow you still choose to be seen with me in public. You’re always someone that’s here for me no matter what, you take ride or die to a whole new level. I know you’re always a listening ear that’s never going to judge me. It’s crazy to think that this friendship started as something that rooted in our junior year of high school. I love that our conversations started casual and kind of meaningless and now you’re someone I can come to with anything.

You seriously are someone I can count on.

You’re always down for movie nights, Panera runs and of course Starbucks coffee! You’re the best barista I’ve ever met and I miss mid-day coffee runs with you that quickly turn into spending money that we never had at Target. Thanks for spending the entire summer with me tanning by our poolside and listening to my crazy boy stories. You always entertained the both of us when you happen to fall off chairs. Honestly, I’ll always remember those mundane summer days that turned exciting because of the hilarious, and sometimes stupid, things we found ourselves doing.

I really just don’t get how you genuinely understand me.

You get my music taste but probably because it’s basically yours too. Our chick fil a addiction is too real and borderline embarrassing. The fact that we use to be regulars at Panera in Alpharetta just proves that you actually understand me. Even though it always broke the bank account it was worth every deep conversation we’ve ever had in those booths. Thanks for also being my personal fashion stylist and shopping buddy whenever I needed one! I love when you call just to see how my day is going and getting snail mail from you is the best thing. I just genuinely don’t know what I would do without you. The world needs more people like you in it. Thanks for being you and having such an impact on my life!

Find you a friend like this, hold on to her tight and never take her for granted because you never know when your best friend is about to walk into your life. She’s about to add everything you’ve been missing in a friend.
