Dear my unexpected best friend,

The day that I met you, there was no way of knowing that you would later become my best friend. You made me laugh instantly and within those five minutes of talking, and I hoped that we would be friends in the future. We both were somewhat in the same friend group but I separately surrounded myself with the wrong people. As time went on we slowly spent more and more time together without realizing that we were becoming each other's person. We would meet up late nights and talk about our issues without being judged. As I lost friends and gained more you were always there to listen to me vent about the same situations for days.

Even though I'm sometimes sensitive and unpredictable, you always choose to see the best in me. Although we don't talk about how we feel all the time it's important that you know how much you've impacted my life on a positive level. In high school I was never able to find the right friend group and bounced around multiple times just to find a "best friend." Luckily, I did find a best friend in high school and funny enough she has the same name as you! While there were good friends in school there were toxic one's as well, and you constantly watch out for me and have my back when those situations occur.

You understand me unlike anyone I've ever been friends with and not seeing you during the summer will be so difficult. I know you're scared about what next year will hold, but I can promise you that I'll always be a part of your life. It doesn't matter if we are "best friends" or just "friends" next year. Just know that no matter what happens or wherever life takes you you'll always have a friend in me.

Love,

Your best friend
