Dear Jasmine,
Even though you and I don't talk every day, you know that I still love you and I am always thinking about you. I always think about how you are doing in the Navy and how much I miss you. Of course, you know I always keep tabs on you because what best friend doesn't do that? I cannot fully express how proud of you I am. I always knew that you would become a strong, beautiful, independent woman because you already were when I met you.
(Best friend on far right).
I think about how my life would be if we didn't meet freshman year of high school. I know that my life would definitely be different. I would feel like I was missing something in my life because I wouldn't have you. It's nice to have my sister there with me forever and always. No matter the time or if it's just something stupid, you are always there and nothing has changed about that even to this day. I mean who else can I go into Sephora with and do a convincing enough Brittish accent to get a bunch of free samples?
It's amazing to think about how much has changed in the last 6 years. It doesn't seem like it has been that long. Do you remember taking this picture? It was one of my favorite days in high school - the homecoming game. I have never been a sports person, but I loved it because it meant spending time with you. (My makeup game at that point in my life is so cringe-worthy.)
And why not look at another homecoming picture because we were so cute back then? Featuring someone else that I have known for forever, Liz.
Anyways, enough reminiscing. I can't thank you enough for all of the ways that you have changed my life. You have always encouraged me to put myself out there and to be the best version of myself while corrupting me along the way (which I loved). I don't think I will ever be able to read what you wrote in my yearbook senior year without crying.
The relationship that you and I have can never be recreated. We basically acted like we were a couple in high school - saying I love you, holding hands, literally ALWAYS being together, but I couldn't imagine it any other way.
It's not very often that you find someone who will be there for you that long, and that lasts outside of high school. I am glad that ours will last a lifetime.
I love you <3
Your best friend
