Dear Best Friend,

You are my platonic soulmate. I can't imagine going a day without talking to you. You cheer me up when I am feeling down, you and I go on crazy shenanigans together; we just click.

There is no one else I'd rather go on random drives at 3AM with. No one tells me about their ghost stories and the many houses they've lived in. Who else would just decide one day with me that we want to go on a trip during my first break in college? We haven't even known each other for two and a half years. We are crazy close and it's almost embarrassing. Almost.

Whenever people ask me what my plans are that weekend I just say probably with my best friend because if we go two days without being together we might just die from heartbreak. Honestly thinking ahead into the future when we both have our lives and I have a family, I can't see us not seeing each other every day still. Who knows, we probably will even live next door or across the street from each other or something.

No one else was in the same toxic friendship as me and suffered the same ways. You know firsthand what I went through because you were going through it too. Maybe that's why we are both so angry about it, because whatever was done to you made me almost as upset as you were.

Where would I even be without you? Who knows. You've been such a big influence on my life. You made me want to get a job and save for a car and a trip but also not spend all of my money, even though I still do, and you didn't even have to try. You've been a great influence on my life. You make me a better version of me. It's hard to picture where I would be in life if it wasn't for you. Would I be the same weirdo I was in tenth grade or some completely different person? I'll never know the answer, nor will I ever really want to because then I'd know life without you again. That's super cheesy and lovey-dovey but it's true.

No one would sit up at night singing me '90s R&B music just because. You're one of a kind. I think I keep saying the same stuff but who cares. You are one hell of a person bud. You might not know exactly what you want to do in the future or even next week but it doesn't make you any less of a successful person. I wouldn't just spend my time looking at cheap apartments and cars on craigslist for anyone.

You are a special person with an amazing mind. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you to tell me the crazy thoughts you have, like eventually everything now will not be taken seriously compared to the future technology, similar to how we think of telegraphs as antient things compared to our cell phones.

I consider myself lucky to be your friend, I'm happy that I don't have to know what I would do without all of the things you do that I adore. I love you bud.

Sincerely,

One of the lucky people that get to call you a friend.
