I never thought I'd have another best friend.

It's hard when you graduate high-school and everyone finds where they really want to be. I lost everyone and thought it would always be like that.

You came into my life and I had always figured you hated me. You looked so sophisticated. Something I clearly am not.

But you're different. You've got the funniest laugh and we always take great naps together.

I never thought I'd meet someone who stayed at my house more than I did. Or sang whenever they went in the bathroom, but here you are.

When I say you're my best friend, I really mean it. You're there even when I don't know it. You would do anything for me and I know it. You've brought me food even when I didn't know I was hungry yet.

As I got older and older, sleepovers were really rare. With you, if you don't stay over at least once a week I honestly feel like I haven't seen you in years.You are one of my biggest support systems. Every time I have a bad day or if I have an issue, I can text you and get at least a three-paragraph text back in ten minutes. That always fixes everything.

You can always fix my hair. No matter how awful it looks. You're great at that. You're great at so many things.

You make everyone feel loved. You always have something to say. You're stubborn and you never settle for anything less than what you deserve. I admire that about you.

You're a complete and total dork. Through and through. A complete giggle box. I love that we can yell how much we love each other from different rooms. You sing non-stop and that is something that we definitely have in common. You never miss an opportunity to take a picture with me. You look cute in any dress you throw on and you like your cat more than most people you meet.

You're different and so am I. We'll always be friends and I have never been so sure of something in my life. You were like that missing puzzle piece that I needed to go on dinner dates and road trips with me.

I'll always be here for you. Through anything and everything, I'll be by your side. You deserve the world and Lord knows you're going to get it now matter what.

McKenz, I love you a lot. You're the friend I didn't know I even needed. I just met you one day and it has completely changed my life for the better. Without you, I'd never know that stupid song about acronyms or know all about Drake or how great going to Js can be after 9 o'clock.

Thank you. For everything.

And to tell you the truth, you do like green beans a little too much, but I still love you.
