Dear, My Best Friend

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

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
