A Letter To My Person

You are the first I tell when something good happens and even when something bad happens.

A Letter To My Person
Abby Willingham

To my person,

You know who you are. You know EXACTLY who you are. You’re always the first person that I call when something bad happens, when something good happens, when I’m happy, or when I’m sad. You've become more than my best friend; you're my sister and basically family. You are my go to person to talk about everything with. I may have only known you for a few years but, you still know every aspect of the life I lived before I met you. We've seen each other at rock bottom, but we've also seen each other at some of our highest points in life. Why? Because you’re my absolute best friend and my person.

You’ve been there for me through the break ups, failing grades on tests, hitting rock bottom, for all of the guy troubles, and SO MUCH more. You are my rock and I’m truly blessed to have you. I honestly don’t know where I would be if God hadn’t put you in my life during our freshmen year of college. You started out as just someone I went to the same school with to being my best friend to being my perfect roommate and now we’re still going strong into our Senior year of college. It’s still crazy to think that you’ve been by my side for this long but I’m sure glad that you’ve stuck through it all with me!

I like to think of you as my platonic soulmate. We have established one of the strongest friendships that I’ve ever experienced in my 21 years of living. We were meant to be best friends in this crazy thing called life. You’re the one that I know I can call at 3 am to help calm my racing mind or even just because I miss your voice. I can always count on you to be there for me for the many times that I’m overthinking a situation (which is far too often). If I’m having a bad day, you always know how to fix it and make me happy. You know me better than I even know myself!

Thanks for being my go-to road trip buddy. Thanks for always being down to stuff our faces with Mexican food or pizza. Thanks for always being down for a 1 1/2 phone call talking about life. Thanks for going on late night drives with me to swing when the feels hit hard. Thanks for sharing a love for nerdy things as much as I do. Thanks for being as full of adventure as I am. Thanks for never holding back on telling me the truth. Thanks for always supporting me in all that I do (even if it is a terrible idea). Most importantly, thanks for being the great person and best friend that you are!

I hope that someday when we’re married with families, our husbands will get along as well and our children will be best friends too! I can’t wait to bug each other’s families with all of the crazy shenanigans that we get into. I can’t wait to grow old with you and then continue those same shenanigans in our wheelchairs or with our walkers. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for the rest of your life!

With a friendship this strong, there’s no end anytime soon or ever. We have had our fights and disagreements. We’ve let people come between us. In the end though, we always find our way back to each other. Why is that? Because you’re my person. You will ALWAYS be my person and I thank God for you everyday of my life. Never forget “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30)

Love you forever and always to the moon and back,

Me.

P.S. Sorry if I made you cry because I know how much you hate emotions and feelings.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
