Dear Best Friend,

Here’s the guy you deserve (and why I’ll keep giving the guys you date hell until you find the him):

You deserve a person who will listen. Not just listen because you’re talking, but because they want to hear what you have to say. Not just listen to respond or listen to interrupt, but because they care about how your day went.I want you to find someone who cares enough to be quiet when you need them to be quiet and be loud when you need them to be loud.

Someone who knows exactly what you’re feeling just by the look on your face or how hard you’re holding their hand. Someone who doesn’t have to question your motives and someone whose motives you don’t have to question. You deserve someone whose love isn’t conditional or based on you being someone you aren’t.

You deserve a person who takes pride in holding your hand in the car and in public because they know how lucky they are and vice versa. You deserve someone you aren’t embarrassed by, someone who you can trust to be there for you for any occasion. But you also deserve someone who isn’t embarrassed by how you get when you get a little drunk and knows exactly how to comfort you when you realize you are more than tipsy.

You need someone who doesn’t try to change you, but wants to see you reach your full potential. You deserve someone who you can see yourself being happy with right now and in the future, not in a hypothetical situation. You deserve someone who will drive miles to see you, because you deserve that and more.

You deserve a person who will love you on your good days but love you even more on your bad days because that’s when you need it the most. You deserve someone who knows everything you’ve overcome and is in awe at everything you do every day. You deserve someone who will be there when you need them to be.

Someone who knows you’re fully capable of doing something yourself, but will always be there to support you and help you if you need it. You deserve someone who knows what your comfort food is and is willing to roll up their sleeves to make it. Someone who speaks your language, but if they don’t, they want to learn as much as possible for you. Someone who is willing to sacrifice big things for you.

You deserve all of that and more. You deserve someone who is willing to put as much effort and work as you are and never takes that for granted. You deserve someone who never takes you for granted, so don't settle until you find that one, because you deserve the entire world and more.

You are the sun and the moon and the whole damn sky, don't ever let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve something or can't be something. You deserve to be loved entirely and wholly without question and the right person will try their best to do that, so don't settle for anything less.
