Since the very first weeks of Freshman year to now, you have always been such an important piece of my life. I honestly could not have imagined high school without you, because through the most stressful or the most joyous of times you were by my side.

I have so many things to thank you for and so many things that I have gained in my life because of this friendship. I'll try my best to cover all the bases, but considering we have four years of memories, that's gonna be tough, so just bear with me.

You are truly one of the most candid people I know. You're never afraid of being politically incorrect, crossing any lines, or offending anyone and I've always admired that so much. You tell me how it is and always have. You never fail to put me in my place when I'm stressing out for no reason, being too bossy, or telling a joke that just isn't funny. I've never had to guess where I stand with you because you never play games. It's so refreshing to be friends with someone who is always 100% transparent, and I'm so grateful to you for that. Along with being totally honest, you also care so much about others it blows me away. You're always willing to offer rides to people, be their shoulder to cry on, and do anything you can to help make their days better. You are constantly acting with complete selflessness, without even having to think about it, because being a good guy just comes naturally to you. Thank you for waking up in the middle of the night when I need to talk, for snap chatting me all the goofy Buzzfeed articles that you do, and for continually checking in on me to make sure I'm doing alright.

I'm so excited to see how our lives turn out, and I have no doubt that we'll go through it all together. I can't wait until I'm a groomsman in your wedding (because by the time you get married I'm sure the world will be that progressive), and for your kids to call me "Auntie". I'm patiently waiting for that day that you find your soulmate so that I can interrogate her to decide if she's good enough and let you know if I approve as we go for our famous drives around town.

Forever friends are so hard to come by, but I know for sure that you are one of mine.

So thank you, for being like a brother to me, watching out for me and always listening. Thanks for commenting absurd things on my social media, having the funniest sounding horn on your car, and for making everyone's life so much better.

Never change.
