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.
