To my absolute best friend,

Where do I even begin? Words cannot even express how thankful I am to have you in my life. We have been through so much together over the years. Time has flown by with you, it feels like just yesterday we were sitting next to each other in middle school sharing a bag of pretzels in algebra class. However, a lot has changed since then. We went to different high schools and now different colleges but that has nothing on our everlasting friendship. Although we cannot see each other too often, our endless inside jokes, short face-time calls late at night along with keeping up our Snapchat streak and tagging each other in funny Instagrams make it a lot easier to keep in touch. We are both always busy doing our own things, however when we do finally get to hang out, it is as if no time has even passed. We always pick up where we left off and update each other on our crazy lives.

Thank you for always being here for me. I know I can always count on you to text me back at 3 a.m. or pick up my phone call at any given time. You are probably the only person that I've texted every day for the past five years. I love how we always talk about the small things that happened in our days like how we liked our outfits or if the food at the dining hall made us sick.

Thank you for always making me laugh. You always know how to cheer me up. I do not know how you do it but you are seriously the funniest person I have ever met. There is never a dull moment with you. You always make me laugh the hardest.

Thank you for never judging me. You've seen me at my worst and at my best. You've held my hand through heartbreaks and you always offer the best advice. I know I can count on you to help me with anything from schoolwork to texting boys back. (The amount of screenshots that have been sent between us...) You always know what I deserve, even when I don't. Thank you for constantly sticking by my side and supporting me.

We have shared some unforgettable moments from countless hibachi dinners to awkward double dates to reading each other our letters we wrote to say goodbye before leaving for college. I have never laughed and cried harder with anyone else.

I admire you very much. From your consistent optimistic perspective on everything to how driven you are, you truly inspire me. You are so kind, generous, funny, dependable and overall just a remarkable person. I know you are going to be extremely successful as you radiate ambition.

Without you, I do not know who I would be. You have left a handprint on my heart. You will forever be the Blair to my Serena and the Patrick to my Spongebob. Always remember that you are loved and essential in my everyday life. Also, always remember you are stuck with me forever because I am never leaving your side.

Xoxo
