I’m grateful for you. Actually, that's such an understatement. I don’t know if I will ever be able to fully express how much you mean to me, Trust me, it's a lot, and I’m going to try my best.

I wish you knew how important you are to me. My family knows who you are, not because they’ve met you, but because of how often I talk about you. It hasn’t even been that long since we met, but I trust you more than I trust a lot of people that I’ve known my entire life. I am so lucky to call you one of my best friends.

Calling you a friend is awesome on the good days, but it’s even better on the bad days. I know that between my depression and anxiety, I can be a lot to handle. I don’t even know how to handle myself most of the time. Somehow, you do. You’re always there when I’m having a meltdown, and I don’t know how to thank you enough for that. It sounds like I’m just being dramatic, but without you, I don’t know if I would be alive right now. You’ve talked me through more of my “crisis modes” than I can even remember.

I want to remind you to take care of yourself. You put other people’s needs before yours 150% of the time, and that’s what makes you one of the best people I have ever known. But don’t forget to put yourself first sometimes. It’s okay to tell people, me especially, that you’re struggling and need support. I want to be there for you as much as you’re there for me. I don’t know if it’s even possible, but I want to be half as good of a friend to you as you are to me. Honestly, you don't even have to talk to me if you don't want to, but please talk to someone when you need to. I just want to see you happy.

You deserve to get so much out of life. I want nothing more than to see you happy and successful, in whatever path the universe takes you. I can’t wait to watch you succeed and get everything you want out of life. I have nothing but faith in your ability to accomplish anything you could ever want to.

I love you so much. Please promise me that you'll never forget how much you mean to me.
