A Letter To A Friend Going Through Tough Times

Hi, I love you.

Its been a tough couple days and I know you are fully aware of that. Although you will put a smile on your face to take on the day, this time has been rough.

You are enough, a thousand times enough.

I love you. And I mean that to the fullest extent. I love the person you are and the great person you will become in the future. You are not only an amazing person but you are one heck of a friend. Through everything that has brought you to where you are today, you have stayed humble and loving. I admire your courage and I am beyond blessed to call you my best friend.

You deserve nothing that has happened these past days. The actions of others do not define you or the person that you are. You are more than this obstacle and the last thing I would ever want to see is your character and spirit change due to such unfortunate circumstances. You are beautiful inside and out. I know your kind heart will get you far in life. Nothing that has happened should have happened and you got stuck in the line of cross fire. And even when you have felt your lowest, you have kept a level head which is more than I ever expected. You acted rational and continued living your life the only way you knew how.

Your strength is something that I will always admire. I knew in the beginning, when things started to turn south, that there was nothing I could do to fix the issue at hand. This is your issue to handle, and you were fully aware of that. I also knew that your strength would carry you through the rough waters. I didn't want to be strong for you, I wanted to be strong with you.

There is nothing more I wish than for this to go away for you. But you and I both know that wishing will get one nowhere. Prayer however, and latching on to the faith that brought you strength and love, now that will get you where you need to be. You were the one to continually remind me of this, even though that was clearly my job. I believe that God is testing your strength because he knows you have the power to withstand anything. And with the power of God and those who you surround yourself with, I know you can overcome this. I believe in you.

You are strong. You are loving. You are loved. You are kind. You are ever important. You are mentally strong. You are faithful. You are giving. You are a dreamer. You are a doer. You are encouraging. You are sweet. You have people behind you who want only the best for you. You are funny. Your happiness is contagious. You are spirited. You are joyful. You are more than the actions of others. You are your awe inspiring. You are more than these tough times.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -Isaiah 41:10

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
