Thank you for coming into my life at a time where I was completely alone and had no one to share my thoughts or feelings with.

Relationships are about opening up to one another about things that you wouldn't normally share with anyone else but your partner. You always did a pretty good job of being open with me about what you were feeling, but there were some things that you weren't open about — and that's what still hurts.

You had shown me that we were both in places where we were still growing and looking to find ourselves. We thought that maybe we could do that through each other, but we soon learned that we needed to grow separately.

You taught me how to embrace who I am and to share that part of myself with the world, something that I wasn't cable of doing before.

You allowed me to open up and discover that I could love someone other than myself, and for that, I will forever be grateful.

You showed me how to live life on the edge and to never be afraid of taking risks, even if I fail.

You were always there to listen to my problems and give me outrageous, yet hilarious, solutions to them.

You always managed to make me smile on days when I didn't think I could.

When we broke up, I thought the world was going to end, and that I couldn't live without you. I've learned that time heals all wounds and that we weren't meant to be at that time.

I will always have a spot in my heart for you, regardless, because you were an important part of my teenage life, and there are memories of you that I can never forget.

You were my biggest headache somedays but also my biggest supporter. You were always there for me when I needed you the most.

I know you're doing amazing things now, and I am so proud of all that you accomplished.

Even though we don't talk much anymore, just know that I'm always rooting for you!
