A Letter To My Forever Friend

Thank you for making me the best me.

A Letter To My Forever Friend

I have had many great friendships in my 18 years of life, but none of them have compared to ours and for that I am grateful because you are the truest of all my friends. We have been friends since middle school and have faced many obstacles that would have torn any regular friendship apart by now, and that is why I say we are forever.

Dear Jershai,

I remember the first day we met like it was yesterday. We were in middle school, and you were a year younger than me, but somehow you bypassed the schools "top flight" security to sit down at the table every morning instead of standing. I think that is when I knew you were an over all bad ass and you were going to be my friend. Our first conversation was about Pretty Liars (because Teen Wolf was not a "cool" thing yet).

As the next two years went on our friendship grew closer, and I realized more and more everyday that you were someone I could tell anything and not face any judgement for it; For that I am forever grateful as well and could never provide you enough thanks. When I graduated and went to high school we still had weekly conversations and talked just like we used to because of the glorious invention of Face Time.

While we did not see each other very often we were able to maintain our friendship where if left off every single time. We texted basically all day and we still do now. In addition to being a best friend you are also a sister to me. Your problems are mine and my problems are yours.

Fast forward to now, I graduated high school in May, I was so unsure if we would still be able to maintain our friendship after I moved 101 miles away to go to college, and yet we did. Our bond is arguably closer than it was when we lived in the same city; for that I am grateful. This year is your senior year of high school, and I just wish you understood how great it was and that eventually this time next year you will be living hundreds of miles away from home and living with someone who is arguably a complete stranger to you.

When I was going through school you gave me a reason to go, and actually try. You were the person I wanted to be a better person for. Thank you for not allowing me to disappoint you, or myself.

Love you mostest,

Kylee (a.k.a Big Momma)

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
