Dear, My Best Friend

To my best friend,

Happy 16th birthday to the person who makes my life better all the time without trying.

This is my easiest yet hardest thing I have had to write for you, because its from deep down and for you to read. To start things off I'd like to say I'm so glad you came into my life last year, probably one of the hardest years of my life. You have helped me in more ways than you actually know, you have always been here and I don't take enough time to recognise It. I feel like I've known you my whole life but it's been 9 months since we met. You are one of the most important people to have came in my life, and I apologise that I'm not always perfect but I do try my hardest to keep you my best friend happy. I'm forever grateful we have a strong connection that can always be fixed no matter the situation. You know me better than anyone and better than I actually know myself which is hilarious.

Even though we may have our small and big fights we always make it through the tough times, wether its me sending you a letter or long messages to each other we will I know we will always be in each others lives. I feel like even if we can't see each other physically all the time, our connection to each other is closer than a lot of failed long distance friendships I've seen online. It's so easy to open up to you when I'm down or have guy issues. Other than my best friend in "real life" who has passed away you are the most important person in my life who keeps me going each and every mother fucking day.

You're the person who has left my life, but always come back and put the effort into fixing. You've always cared for my mental health and happiness and have never given up on me, which I appreciate so fucking much. As always, you're amazing, open, honest and never afraid to stand up to what's right. Even when I'm a drama queen you put me in my place, which is what I love about you the most. Being best friends, it's important to tell each other anything and everything that's on our minds. We have been friends for long enough that we are so used to telling each other everything that it's totally weird and not normal if we don't tell each other something straight away, when we have tea we have tea to spill.

Even oceans away 10,079 miles away I still feel as though you're five minutes away from me and I can run there in costume or not to see you :). I feel so emotionally connected to you and I won't ever let you leave me because if I do I won't be able to handle it without you. When I first started my social media accounts when I was like 12 or 13 idfk I made them just for fun shits and gags and didn't really think anything about it back then. Little did I know that by creating them and growing up by them and on them that I would come across people on groups who would change my life forever and be the best of friends I had ever made.

I never imagined that I would find my true friend because of my lack In communication, but when I found you I finally did and I know I can get annoying and clingy but you have to put up with it because I need my best friend and you need me I know that for sure. You believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself which is almost all the fucking time because of my fucked up life. Out of the 7.49 billion people in the world I'm blessed and so lucky to be able to call you my best friend. They say the internet is filled with only BAD people trying to harm you take you, but when I found you I knew that wasn't the case obviously or are you a murder :0. Meeting you happened as a shock to me, just us talking about our favourite shit one night well night for me ;). which then turned into something so much more, trust care and honesty. I remember video calling you all the time it was the most entertaining times of my life, I hope we can go back to it one day.

So thank you so much so so much for been my best friend and bringing out the best in my Micheal and I cannot wait until I can come meet you, and make memories. Have a AMAZING BIRTHDAY BITCH x

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
