A Letter To The People Who Date My Friends

A little vote of confidence but also a little more of a warning.

A Letter To The People Who Date My Friends
Madeline Grace Mullins

To the person dating my friend,

First of all you should know that I’m not necessarily rooting for you but mainly my friend’s happiness and as long as you can continue to give them that then we shouldn’t have any problems :)

Okay, so my friends are some of the greatest people in the world. They are intelligent, passionate, clever, funny and understanding. These are the people that I have chosen to do life with so understand me when I say that I would do anything for any one of them. They are people that allow me to be messy and clueless without ever judging me. They take time to listen to me and help through my problems big or small. They love me no matter what even when I don’t deserve it. They know when to tell me that they love me and everything will be okay, but also when to tell me to straighten up and move forward. Having said all this I understand why you decided you wanted to be with them-- any person would.

But listen, I’m not trying to give you a “hurt them and I’ll kill you” speech (even though i most definitely will) I’m just telling you now that you have someone who is truly amazing in more ways than either of us could count. You have someone in your life who will never stop being there for you and will do anything to make you happy even if it means sacrificing themselves sometimes. They would go to the ends of the earth and back for you-- trust me I know. Some of my friends have been hurt bad by people like you. “People like you” meaning people that saw how lovely and wonderful they were and said “I’ll give you the world” and then they never did. Or maybe they really honestly tried but just couldn’t do it. And if that’s you-- if you think that something will keep you from giving them every last thing they deserve then realize that now. Because I can’t even begin to tell you how much they are worth.

But if you’re reading this and know it and feel it that you are going to love them to the best of your ability then I’m glad that my friend has found you. Do your best. Listen to them, kiss them often, and reassure them every chance you get. You have a gem. You’re gonna a mess up and so is my friend but I hope more than anything that you and I want the same thing… for them to be happy.

And if so then we should get along just fine.

PS don’t misunderstand my gentleness. If you hurt my friend or cause them unnecessary pain I will personally kill you. Think of every tear you make them shed as a promise from me to you that I will ruin you :) I have tabs on everybody so you believe you me that before you ever came into my friend's life I was so far into stalking you I know your grandmother’s birthday,everything about your last three exes, and who coached you in middle school. Don’t. Test. Me.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
