Dear Best friend,

Thank you for walking into my life. You've shown me what real friendship is like, and you've shown me what life is like when I'm traveling with someone who has my best interest in mind. You came into my life when I needed you the most, and I can never thank you more. Before you came along, I never knew what exactly I was looking for in a friend and I was roaming around searching for answers as to why I had never found that one true, "best friend", and when you came along it all made sense. I had never had that one true best friend before you, because you're it. We finish each others sentences, we know how the other take their coffee, and we welcome ourselves to each others clothes. We're practically sisters. You're everything I've ever wanted in a best friend. You're the most kind hearted individual I've ever met, and you keep me on the straight and narrow. You encourage me to be the best version of myself every single day, even on your bad days. You give your all to everything you do, and you inspire everyone around you. People are drawn to you, because of the positive energy that radiates off of you. We've shared some of the best memories together, especially the haunted house and when I told the clowns your name, or smashing an entire cupcake in each other's faces. I was surprised you spoke to me after that, but proof you have a forgiving spirit. Thank you for bringing me out of my depression, repetitively. Thank you for picking me off of the floor when that boy made me cry, multiple times, and thank you for making me realize he wasn't worth it. You were right, again. Most of all, thank you for sitting by my side in the hospital and making me realize I wasn't completely alone, and that my illness did not get the best of me. Until you arrived at the hospital that day I felt as if I was stranded, and when you arrived I knew I was perfectly safe. Thank you for giving me that reassurance in my vulnerable state. I'm ecstatic that I had to wait eighteen years for my best friend, because through my waiting I was blessed with the best. I was blessed with a best friend who cares enough about me to sit with me through depression, hospital visits, late night trips for food, uncontrollable singing and even drives five hours to take me home. Thank you for being you, and I hope throughout both of our lives we remain best friends. You deserve everything you want and more, you the best person I know. I love you, bunches best friend.
