Dear High School Best Friend,
I am yet to tell you many things but this article will explain all that. You have been there for me for five years and counting. We have shared several memories with one another and are still continuing to make more. Just because high school is over and we both have started the next chapter of our lives, we have not forgotten about each other. I am very happy for you and everything you have accomplished so far in your lifetime and what you will accomplish in your near future.
When I look back on our many years spent together, I see two teenage girls starting a friendship in gym class that would grow into a blossoming flower. The countless times we would “go to bed” but in reality stay up late talking about boys or what was going on in our minds made our friendship grow fonder. As we aged and matured, so did our friendship (one thing I can say is drama was never a issue). When we became young adults we realized that although we live separate lives and don’t talk daily, our conversations turned into plans for us to hangout; quality time is the best way to spend time. We may have disagreed with the choices the other one made, but instead of giving up on one another, we supported each other through every decision because that was what one of us wanted and it made one of us happy. We supported and respected the choices of the other because that happiness was more important.
We shared many memories throughout our years of high school, lunch dates to McDonald's, being on the same team in gym class and dominating the other team every time, consoling one another over a stupid boy, and most importantly the time it took to build our friendship. We have seen people come into our lives that weren’t good for either one of us and although we both gave them the time of day and even chance after chance after everything they did to us, we were there for one another when they brought us down to bring one another right back up; we always said to the other when something or someone brought one of us down "everything’s will be okay.”
And now everything is perfect. We have started our next chapter which has so far brought us joy and happiness with college, new experiences, new people, new relationships and a new path of self-discovery. When our first year of college ended and we hung out for the very first time in almost year, we both saw in one another a new level of happiness, maturity, and the knowing of what we deserve out of life. I cannot wait to see what life has to hold for the both of us. No matter what you do or where you go, I will be very happy and proud of you. I am not trying to sum up our friendship, I’m just trying to say that our friendship is no longer a friendship; it's a sister-ship and it has been that way for a while.
