Dear Long-distance best friend,

We don't talk often. Or ever. More or less we exchange memes and made snide comments about things neither of us are fond of. I see you maybe once or twice a year and it's going to be harder because of my move to Auburn.

You, my dear, are so talented and yet you don't see it. You can do anything you set your mind to in life and in some ways, you are my inspiration to be as creative as I can be and to prove people wrong when they tell me I can't do something.

You're the friend that I have videos on my phone that I can't help but break out into laughter when I watch them. You're the girl that I always run to if I'm unsure about something because even though we're two halves of a whole idiot, together we're still awesome.

I still remember the first time I met you. This short, pale girl with bright colored hair asking if I can put her name on the board because she couldn't reach. I was never quiet in that class again. I remember all the times that we tried to see each other and it didn't work out, but more vividly I remember the few that it did. I remember laughing with you until we couldn't breathe and baking cakes at 2 a.m. because it needed to get done and then messing up the icing.

I remember eating chocolate and laughing at our own jokes and making skits that no one is ever allowed to see because we're just that stupid.

I know the boys that have broken your heart and you know the ones that have tried to break mine. And we hate them together.

We went to homecoming together and we've made the cliché best-friend bucket lists that are completely unrealistic but we're going to try anyway.

I don't care what we go through in life. I don't care if we don't talk for three months or don't see each other for years at a time. You'll always be my best friend above all.

So I'm home for the first time in four months. One of the first things I'm doing is to make sure I see you. This article won't be out until after all is said and done, but I want to let you know that you mean everything to me and I love you bunches.

This could have been a lot sweeter, a lot more in depth, but you know how much you mean to me.

I'll see you in a couple hours.
