A Special Letter to My Internet Best Friend

To My Best Friend,


I started off social media thinking it was going to get me closer to meeting One Direction or Justin Bieber. Boy was I wrong. But, with me creating social media accounts, never did I think I would meet my best friends.

First of all, thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and changing it for the better. I never thought I would meet my best friends through the internet. You're there for me when no one else is and listens to me when I have stupid shit to rant about. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world and meeting you was fate, in my opinion. I've always heard that the internet is full of toxic people, but you? Not even in the slightest. You are the most kind-hearted, caring person I know. Meeting you was an accident, coming together over a similar interest was something I never even knew was possible to happen.

I got the frequent, "What if they're not real?" "They could be fake", but I knew you were real. I'm glad I pushed all those negative comments out of my head and focused on the positives. From inside jokes, to hours of video chatting, I don't think I would trade anything.

My favorite memory was finally meeting you in person. If we're being honest, I was nervous as hell and thought you were going to think I was an annoying person and would just want me to hop on a plane back home. But, seeing you in person and being able to finally hug you was something that I will never take for granted. I don't think people truly understand the means behind an internet friendship if they haven't experienced one themselves. We would talk about meeting in person and when it finally happened, it literally was a dream come true.

I am forever grateful to have you in my life. I don't think I can imagine a life without you in it, you seriously have helped me grow into a better person, been there through some tough times, and I cannot thank you enough for caring about me and being there for me when I need someone the most. I know our friendship is something that'll last a lifetime, and I hope it does, because I seriously cannot picture a life without you in it.

Keep doing you. Keep shining. Keep being your beautiful self. You are perfect just the way you are.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
