To my broken-hearted best friend,

First of all, he’s an idiot. Now that we’ve established that…

I only wish you could see yourself through my eyes so you can understand how truly awesome you are and just how much you really deserve… and let me tell you, he ain’t it. Maybe I’m a little biased, being your best friend and all, but you deserve the absolute world and I consider it a part of my duties to make sure you know this and get just that.

It breaks my heart to see you crying over a boy who couldn’t see just how amazing the girl right in front of him was. The last thing I ever wanted to see was you broken hearted and wondering why you weren’t enough for some stupid boy. If you take anything away from this, take away that this didn’t happen because you weren’t enough. You are enough. In fact, you are more than enough and any boy would be lucky to even get a second of your time. Please understand that this happened because that boy was too blind to see how awesome you are, too selfish to care about anyone other than himself, and too stupid to realize all of that.

Know that you have the kindest heart of anyone I’ve ever met and that you are easily the most-deserving person I know. One of these days you’re going to find someone that sees that and appreciates it as much as I do. But in the meantime, please don’t waste your time trying to wrap your brain around this because I know for certain that someone as good as you could never understand how people could be so cruel and toy with other people the way he did you.

I can't go on to tell you that it’s going to be easy or fun to go through this. You’ve been there through my fair share of heartbreaks and have wiped my tears away time and time again, so you should know firsthand that this wound is going to take some time to heal. There will be days you feel sad and confused and angry at him and there will be nights you lay in bed replaying your conversations and questioning whether or not he ever meant anything he ever said. What I can tell you, though, is that this will pass in time and one of these days you’re going to look back and laugh that you could ever let a boy make you question your worth. It’s not going to happen over night, but one day you’ll realize that weeks have gone by and he hasn’t even crossed your mind. Most importantly, I can tell you that I will be here to pick up your pieces every time you need to fall apart and I will be hear to listen to you cry it out until you finally feel okay again.

I’m so lucky to call you my best friend and I feel so sorry for the fool who couldn’t see just how lucky he was to call you his girlfriend.

I’m always here with open arms and pints of ice cream,

Your Best Friend
